Patti LaBelle, who in 2006 released the CD, The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle, is planning to use her voice to proclaim her faith at the McDonald's Gospelfest next month.

She jokes with the Newark Star-Ledger of New Jersey,""It will be a total gospel set, though maybe I'll do a song like 'Over the Rainbow,' too," she says. "If you hear me do 'Lady Marmalade,' I want you to call the cops." The event will be held June 13 in Newark.

This is LaBelle's first appearance in the 26-year history of the popular festival. While the event hosts local talent (soloists, groups and choirs) from the East Coast, particularly New York and New Jersey, it is also a stop for many award winning gospel artists.

Donnie McClurkin, CeCe Winans, Regina Belle, Cissy Houston, J. Moss, Vickie Winans and Hezekiah Walker and his Love Fellowship Choir will headline this year's event. Gospelfest also include performances in the categories of praise dance, poetry, comedy and rap.
