  Is Patti LaBelle secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Patti LaBelle is celebrating her 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer Patti LaBelle (Lady Marmalade, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

LaBelle, a cultural icon

Born Patricia Louise Holte-Edwards in Philadelphia on May 24, 1944, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. LaBelle's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Patti hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Patti LaBelle as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 81.

Happy Birthday, Patti, you're the best!
