La Belle "Chameleon" (1976)


Frenzied r&b from mad soul sirens who split soon afterwards.

You would be pressed very hard to find better,bigger or more powerful voices anywhere around of the time of this release. Ballads are forgettable but when sisters start to gallop, they are invisible ("Who's watching the watcher", "Gypsy Moths") and just to make a point how far they are removed from their early girl-group beginnings, Patti ends the album with a soaring ode to cunnilingus.
