Singer Sarah Dash, a co-founder of trailblazing US group Labelle, who had a huge hit with Lady Marmalade, has died at the age of 76.
Fellow group member Patti LaBelle confirmed the news on Twitter, saying she was "heartbroken" but that Dash's spirit would "live on".
"We were just on stage together on Saturday and it was such a powerful and special moment," she posted.
Lady Marmalade went to number one on the US Billboard chart in 1975.
The track found a new audience when it was re-recorded by Christine Aguilera, Pink, Lil' Kim and Mya for the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's film Moulin Rouge in 2001.
Born in New Jersey in 1945, Dash joined up with Patti LaBelle and Nona Hendryx and they settled on the name LaBelle in 1971. They became known for their fusion of rock, R&B and funk, and their lavish stage outfits, including a set of spacesuits.
They opened for bands such as The Who before finding mainstream fame themselves.
After LaBelle broke up in 1976, Dash embarked on a solo career and also sang on The Rolling Stones' 1989 album Steel Wheels and did session work for the O'Jays and Chic's Nile Rodgers.

Celtic lost £11.5m last year after a fall in revenue of almost £10m, the club revealed in their annual results.
Chairman Iain Bankier says a drop in the value of player sales, as well as the lack of fans amid Covid-19, were the key factors.
He pointed out that the return of supporters this season means "conditions have improved markedly".
Bankier says the club "measured confidence" about this campaign on and off the pitch.

Phil Jones will return to the Manchester United squad after a 20-month absence for Wednesday's Carabao Cup third-round tie with West Ham.
The centre-back has not played for the first team since an FA Cup fourth-round tie at Tranmere in January 2020, when he was one of the scorers in a 6-0 win.
Since then, Jones, 29 has been battling to overcome a major knee injury.
He eventually had surgery 13 months ago but his rehabilitation was complicated by travel restrictions during lockdown.
Leicester City defender Ricardo Pereira says the Foxes "have more to lose" than their opponents Millwall when they meet in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Leicester have made an unsteady start to the new season, losing three of their first five Premier League games to lie 12th in the table.
"If you go in with the wrong mentality it can be difficult, because we have more to lose than them," Pereira said.
"We have to go in with a good mentality and do our best."
The 27-year-old could return to the side after suspension but Jonny Evans is a doubt after suffering a foot injury, and fellow defenders James Justin and Wesley Fofana are long-term absentees.

Gamble not paid off?
I'm not sure what he was trying there. Still the PM though
