"Lady Marmalade" was written by the same team, Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan, who wrote last week's #1 tune, Frankie Valli's "My Eyes Adored You". When you hear the original version, by Nolan's Eleventh Hour, you'll understand why Allen Toussaint is such a great producer. He brought the New Orleans funk, courtesy of members of The Meters. "Lady Marmalade" was a hit first in the discos, then R and B before finally peaking at #1 on the pop charts.
