Funky and soulful, with a hint of 70’s disco, the positively upbeat “I Hold The Key” by Baton Rouge’s sultry Mz. Pat “The Lady Of Soul” schools us in the art of counting on ourselves and inspires us to “keep pushing” and never give up on our dreams.
Singer songwriter Mz. Pat “The Lady Of Soul” is a native daughter of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Inspired by her mother, Gospel singer Lela Pearl Joseph, and her father Bernard Delaney, who managed acts during the big-band Jazz era of Duke Ellington, Mz.
