But I know that Sarah’s spirit and all that she has given to the world live on. I am heartbroken, as I know all of her loved ones and fans are. She was a true giver, always serving and sharing her talent and time. That’s who Sarah was … a loyal friend and a voice for those who didn’t have one. I could always count on her to have my back. “We were just onstage together on Saturday and it was such a powerful and special moment,” Patti Labelle said in a statement to Billboard. “Sarah Dash was an awesomely talented, beautiful and loving soul who blessed my life and the lives of so many others in more ways than I can say. Soon after, Cindy Birdsong and Patricia Holte would join the group and the quartet would become known as Patti Labelle & the Blue Belles. Dash began her career as a musician by singing gospel music, however, as a pre-teen she later turned to music that was more secular when she formed a duo (the Del Capris) with her friend Nona Hendryx. Her mother was a nurse, and her father a “Church of Christ Father” of the state of New Jersey (and was also a bishop). “What the world takes is a timeless inspiration of a woman who touched the highest peaks of stardom and never forgot where she came from.”īorn as the seventh child out of 13, Dash entered the world on August 18th, 1945 in Trenton, New Jersey. “What Sarah made was beautiful music refined by a lifetime of experience and numerous contributions to the arts and the community,” said Mayor Gusciora. “Our motto, ‘Trenton Makes, the World Takes’ was alive and well with Sarah.” Sarah Dash (left), Patti Labelle (center), and Nona Hendryx (right). My heart goes out to her family and friends,” said Mayor Reed Gusciora in a statement released yesterday. Our resident legend and Trenton’s very first music ambassador, Sarah Dash, has passed away.
“Today I grieve with the city of Trenton and a worldwide community of fans. Shockwaves continue to reverberate around the world since yesterday’s loss of Trenton’s legendary singer and songwriter Sarah Dash.
