NEW YORK (Billboard) - R&B trio Labelle is hitting the studio for a reunion album to be produced by legendary soul hitmakers Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff as well as Lenny Kravitz.

The as-yet-untitled set, the group first since 1976's "Chameleon," is due September 23 via Verve.

In addition, the group, which comprises Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash, will perform July 5 in New Orleans as part of the Essence Festival at the Louisiana Superdome.

Although Labelle has performed live on numerous occasions since officially splitting up more than three decades ago, the group's spokesperson says the Essence set is its first public concert since January 1977.

Labelle is best known for the single "Lady Marmalade," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard pop singles chart in 1975. The track was covered in 2001 by Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya and Pink on the "Moulin Rouge" soundtrack.

Patti LaBelle has a number of her own dates lined up this summer; next up is a show Tuesday in Albuquerque, N.M.

This should be interesting.

Labelle's version of Lady Marmalade is one of my mom's all-time fave songs. Remember Ray dancing to it on Everybody Loves Raymond??
