Chameleon (Labelle Album)
''Chameleon'' is the sixth album by the American singing trio Labelle. Though Patti LaBelle's autobiography ''Don't Block The Blessings'' revealed that LaBelle planned a follow-up to ''Chameleon'' entitled ''Shaman'', the album never materialized. The trio would not release another new recording until 2008's ''Back to Now''. The final album was moderately successful peaking at #94 at the Pop charts and #21 on the R&B charts. Only two singles made the charts which were "Get You Somebody New" which peaked at #50 on the Pop charts and their memorable song "Isn't It A Shame" which peaked at #18 on the R&B charts. "Isn't It A Shame" was later sampled by Nelly on his 2004 hit, "My Place (Nelly song), My Place", which featured Jaheim.

Christgau's reviews are informed by an interest in the aesthetic and political dimensions of popular music, a belief that it could be consumed intelligently, and a desire to communicate his ideas to readers in an entertaining, provocative, and compact way. Many of the older reviews were rewritten for the guide to reflect his changed perspective and matured stylistic approach.
