The latest 'Verzuz' battle was...legendary!
"Tears" marked the first of 30 R&B top 10s for the group, a collection that includes some of its best-known classics such as"I Heard It Through the Grapevine," a six-week champ in 1967;"Neither One of Us ," a four-week leader in 1973; and perhaps the act's most famous single,"Midnight Train to Georgia," which topped the chart for four weeks, in addition to becoming its only No. 1 on the Hot 100.
The Blue Belles, with LaBelle out front, notched further R&B hits amid a series of lineup shifts, including the loss of founding member Cindy Birdsong toin the mid-'60s. The group settled under a new name, LaBelle, in the '70s, just in time for its biggest hit,"Lady Marmalade," which shot to No. 1 on both the Hot 100 and R&B rankings in 1975.
