Patti Labelle: Labelle Of The Ball
Lucy O'Brien, NME, 15 November 1986
"I LOVE Madonna. I do. I just don't like the way she stepped on my feet. We were at the American Music Awards, in the green Room with all the fabulous people and I was talking to Philip Bailey. Madonna wanted to meet Philip Bailey and her press agent brought her over. While she was getting to meet Philip Bailey, she walked all over Patti LaBelle.
