Had to come back to this. Watching Patti and Nona sing this without Sarah was 🥺 Rest in Power Ms. Sarah Dash. Give them their flowers while they are here to enjoy them.
this is such a beautiful song that Nona wrote back in the 70s. it is such ashame this group never got a grammy award back then, and that Nona got the acclaim she deserves even to this day.
@iboudiop Man I am just so happy to have heard these women do this song again that I don't even care. This is one of Nona's greatest songs. Captures Janis Joplin's live-for-today, to-hell-with-tomorrow essence perfectly.
A song written for Janis Joplin by Nona Hendryx. Beautiful song for a fantastic singer who left too soon. “Nightbird” (a tender tribute to Janis Joplin, apparently) and the frankly unbelievable, sexually charged “You Turn Me On.”
And yesterday's a thought, unwillingly caught, in a mind where there's nothing to gain she feeds the fire for the flame Nightbird flies not by the light of the moon Nightbird flies not by the light of the moon
Nighbird fly by the light of the moon makes no difference if it's only a game released, relived just for the day It's a nightbird's way she sees, she scores, she stores nothing away Tomorrow's a dream, running out of steam leaving bits and pieces in her way She lives the day before day (Nightbird's sky is never high enough) she only touches down just to feel her wings again laughing, crying, all the way hear the nightbird' pray She lives, she dies, she files nothing away
dr. Sarah dash really look like me. free, down willing,bless and beautiful just Like me. and I say bless you Jesus for creating this all girl band once again.

I have tears in my eyes
This song either has me happy or crying
My god .. so beautiful

I looooooooooooooooove this song and look at them legs, shoes, outfit MAKES NO SENSE lol---she only touches down to feel her wings again!!! YES BABY!!
And yesterday's a thought, unwillingly caught, in a mind where there's nothing to gain
she feeds the fire for the flame
Nightbird flies not by the light of the moon
Nightbird flies not by the light of the moon

Epic!
Nona Hendryx looks fantastic
Nighbird fly by the light of the moon
makes no difference if it's only a game
released, relived just for the day
It's a nightbird's way
she sees, she scores, she stores nothing away
Tomorrow's a dream, running out of steam
leaving bits and pieces in her way
She lives the day before day (Nightbird's sky is never high enough)
she only touches down just to feel her wings again
laughing, crying, all the way
hear the nightbird' pray
She lives, she dies, she files nothing away
Fine Wine Baby, Fine wine...
@DollPjTay if you type in Labelle Nightbirds. It's the second video that comes up under mine by LaBelleOfTheBall.
You're welcome--but I just realized I made a mistake. The correct lyric is "leaving bits and pieces in her wake..."
This song is about Janis Joplin
@Wantable the orginal is posted here on youtube.

She was a featured guest at church in DC on Sun. March 8. She talked about her career, sang a song and met with fans after the worship service.
@DollPjTay I don't see it
@DollPjTay caint find it....:(
Did they do any Bluebelles songs?
None
They opened the show with "Miss Otis Regrets" from the Bluebelle era.
Why Patti got on those big-ass shoes? I love this song, but not this version of it.
