Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Nightbirds is the fourth album (eighth album overall, if you count the Bluebelle years) by girl group Labelle, released in 1974 by Epic Records.A noted release in the group's discography, it would further refine the group's glam rock inclinations by fusing them with New Orleans funk music, courtesy of legendary Crescent City musician and producer, Allen Toussaint. It would also be their most successful album, yielding the hit single "Lady Marmalade". The record would also go on to be considered a classic of funk music, helping push it into the mainstream. As well as a prototype for the burgeoning disco genre.It would be ranked number 272 (later 274) on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })TracklistSide One "Lady Marmalade" (3:56) "Somebody Somewhere" (3:25) "Are You Lonely?"

Genre Shift: The record would be the group's formal foray into funk music. Genre Mashup: It would also contain considerable influence from New Orleans R&B, their previous sound as a soul/doo-wop unit and their glam rock tendencies.

Afrofuturism: "Space Children" is the lead example, in addition to the group's already space themed stage presence.

Covered Up: Most modern listeners have more than likely heard the cover version of this track that shows up on the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack (done by P!nk, Mya, Christina Aguilera and Lil' Kim.
