West Philadelphia-born Patti LaBelle is one of the most successful and beloved entertainers of our time whose unstoppable success as an award winning singer, actress, author, and entrepreneur has made her this city's most renowned treasure. She has earned two Grammy Awards, three Emmy nominations, and is the only celebrity whose star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was paid for entirely by fans. Patti has also been inducted into various other Halls of Fame, including the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Apollo Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters' Hall of Fame.
