Sarah Dash Career

Early career

Dash, the seventh of 13 children, was born in Trenton, New Jersey. Her father was a pastor at the Trenton Church of Christ, while her mother was a nurse. Although she performed gospel music as a youth, Dash converted to secular music as she formed a vocal pair, the Capris. Patricia "Patsy" Holte (AKA Patti LaBelle) and Sundray Tucker were introduced to Philadelphia in the mid-1960s as she moved to Philadelphia. Hendryx and Dash joined Holte and Tucker in 1961 following the break-up of a rival girl group. Tucker was first introduced to Philadelphia by Philadelphia-born Cindy Birdsong in 1961, and the foursome became The Bluebelles in 1962. After Holte was told to use Patti LaBelle as the stage name, the group changed to Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. The top 40 hits, "I Sold My Heart to the Junkman," and "You'll Never Walk Alone," LaBelle's best-selling book "All or Nothing" and their now-legendary version of "Over the Rainbow," were among the Bluebelles' most popular covers. Dash sang with a strong soprano.

Birdsong left the group in 1967 to join The Supremes, but the Bluebelles changed their name to Labelle and began recording material that set them apart from other female groups, such as songs of political, socioeconomic, and sexual affairs, transforming them into a "hard-rocking, sexually and politically outspoken group." Dash was often the "middle" of two of the company's extremes, Nona Hendryx and Patti LaBelle, who had often disagreed on the company's course before LaBelle decided to "go along with it," according to Mary Wilson of The Supremes. After a tour of England where they changed managers, including Vicki Wickham in 1971, the group dropped Bouffant wigs and jeans for Afros and jeans, along with the Hendryx-penned "Morning Much Better") and Moon Shadow (which included the group's gospel-fueled adaptations of the Pete Townshend penned "Won't Get Fooled Again" and Cat Stevens' "Moon Shadow" and "Morn Shadow

After launching Laura Nyro's album and recording an album together, Gonna Take a Miracle, the group gained attention from the mainstream. They also performed with British rock band The Who in the lead up to the unveiling of Pressure Cookin's in 1973. This was followed by more songwriting by Hendryx and a more cohesive group effort in which Dash sang co-lead, as the ballad reads, "Can I Speak to You Before You Go to Hollywood." "The song is being performed in the United States, where Dash performs the majority of the time." When LaBelle and Hendryx occasionally went off on vocal tangents or were pulling audience members up on stage to dance, Dash's solid vocals provided for balance and stability. Dash has also written several songs.

Despite the group's early success with their early recordings, their commercial success did not extend to commercial recognition until the Nightbirds (1974), "Lady Marmalade," the company's biggest smash single of their careers, and 1975's Phoenix, which featured the company's first smash single of their careers. Following the release of 1976's Chameleon and a 1977 tour, the trio decided to split after the trio failed to come to terms with information (the band was on an album titled Shaman when they split) and had now "rocket and rolled themselves out."

Dash's self-titled debut album in 1978, which also included the top-ten disco hit "Sinner Man." She appeared on various ballads, including "You" and "We're Lovers After All," and "I Can't Believe Someone Like You Could Love Me" (with full gospel choir support); "Come and Take" This Candy from Your Baby" was also included in "Come and Take" (with complete gospel choir backing); and "I Can't Believe Anyone Like You). With "Sinner Man," Dash enjoyed a lot of success in television and public appearances. She was asked to write and perform "For The Love of You" (the 1980s PBS show Watch Your Mouth) and "Bringing It All Home" at the time. She appeared on "Watch Your Mouth" as a fictional character, a super diva with a positive attitude, and a vivacious diva with a sense of humor, "Tessie Bright."

However, she was given substandard content on her Don Kirshner albums, and especially Ooh La La's (1980) for this album, but "I Feel Good Being Me" was written on the album. It included one disco song, "Ooh La La, Too Soon," which was used in a Sassoon jeans commercial, and Phyllis Hyman provided backing vocals to the album. After releasing one more album Close Enough, which features ballads such as "Somebody's Angel" and "God Bless You," and the musician, "Paradise," Dash left Kirshner for other opportunities, the rocker left Kirshner.

In 1983, Dash released two dance singles for Megatone Records in San Francisco, both produced by Patrick Cowley. The first album, "Low Down Dirty Rhythm," was practically ignored, but Sylvester's second single "Lucky Tonight" (featuring background vocals), which also climbed to the top of Billboard's Dance Chart, and was also a Billboard "Pick of the Week) was much more popular, debuting to the top-five spot on Billboard's Dance Chart.

Dash's next project was the recording she made on the rap record for High Fidelity Three in 1985. During this period, Dash performed session work for The O'Jays, Nile Rodgers of Chic (dueling on a ballad with Rodgers, "My Love Song for You" from The Adventures in the Land of the Good Groove), and David Johansen.

She co-ordinated with musician Dr. York on the duet "It's Too Late" in the 1980s (for which York outrandomized commercial space on Billboard's front cover, with no success).

In 1988, the singer was signed to Manhattan Records (via EMI) and released the album entitled You're All I Need. Patti LaBelle's title track duet; a new duet "Don't Make Me Wait" with Ray, Goodman & Brown; and "To Tell You The Truth" were two separate sets in this collection. Dash did not have a chance to release another album after being met with only modest success, and did not have to worry about recording another album. In 1990, Dash released "When You Talk to Me/Manhandled," with Disc jockey Jellybean Benitez.

In 2012, Jason King and Gavin Bradley released "Hold On (He'll Be Right There).

Keith Richards invited Dash to accompany him on tour; her involvement with him culminated in another world tour, including appearances on two of his albums and on The Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels album in 1989. She appeared on Live at the Hollywood Palladium in 1988, as a Main Offender in 1992, with Richards. In the early 1990s, Dash created her own one-woman performance, "Dash of Diva," as well as a more jazz-flavored set that resulted in numerous appearances. To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! She reunited with Patti LaBelle and Nona Hendryx in 1995 to record the song "Take It Out" for the movie soundtrack. Julie Newmar, the No. 2 in the United Kingdom, is the highest accolade. In the process, 1 dance band made it to the world stage. Dash was also invited to join the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels album in 1988, which culminated in a tour with her old friend Keith Richards. The two were close when Dash was playing with Patti LaBelle and The Blue Belles, who opened for Stones in the early 1960s, they were close. She performed "Make No Mistake" with him, and she appeared on "Time Is on My Side," showcasing her dynamic performance and vocal range, which Keith has described as "the best interpretation of the song he's ever heard" on his autobiography. She has appeared on "Rock Awhile" as the lead vocalist. Dash wrote and performed another song, "Body Talk" for his forthcoming album. On "Gimme Shelter," she was another highlight on her tour with Richards. Dash began the song with her silvery "Oohs," before finally going solo in the middle of the song. On the Keith Richards' album "Eileen," a CD single from his album Main Offender on the Virgin Records label, there is only one available. Dash recorded her background vocals on Bo Diddley and Ronnie Wood's Live at the Ritz album in 1992.

Dash appeared on albums later in life, including "Greener" from Temptation and Persuasions. She appeared in small clubs on the east coast from time to time. Dash of Diva, she took a break from writing her autobiography, took a break from her work. She decided with her friend and confidante Pam Johnson on scripted excerpts and wrote a musical with the same title debut at The Cross Roads Theater in New Brunswick.

Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx & Sarah Dash's long-awaited new album, Back to Now, received rave reviews in 2008. Among other songs, Dash performed lead vocals in the group's political song, "System," which featured LaBelle and Hendryx performing both sides by the side of Dash in autotone, resurrecting songs that didn't make the final cut from earlier recordings, including Cole Porter's composition, "Miss Otis Regts" among other songs. After suffering an accident on the New York City Subway and hospitalization, Dash's voice had taken a while to recover, but by the time of the recording, she had recovered her voice. Lenny Kravitz, Wyclef Jean, and Philadelphia writer/producers Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff were among the project's developers.
