The summer concert season of 2012 has been very enjoyable if your a fan of old school music. This Saturday is no different in Charlotte as the Summer Music Festival takes place. Some of the best talents of the past will grace the stage and bring back some great memories.

Each day leading up to the show we’ll feature one of the performers with artist facts and some of their biggest hits. Today we feature Patti LaBelle.
