Patti LaBelle to open Dell Music Center summer season in July, Anthony Hamilton, Larry Graham & Bootsy Collins, Toni Braxton & Babyface also on tap

Free movie nights, too.

Patti Labelle will kick off the summer season at the city's Dell Music Center on July 9, the lead act in a schedule that's stronger and more consistent with old school soul, Quiet Storm and funk acts than it has been in some time.

LaBelle, fresh off a stint on Dancing With the Stars, and has also recently appeared on American Horror Story, brings that old "New Attitude" to the outdoor venue at 2400 Strawberry Mansion Drive (off of Ridge Ave.) on July 9, on a bill that also includes trombonist Jef Bradshaw & Friends and Pamela "The Saxtress" Williams.

There's an old scool quadruple bill on July 16 with Rose Royce, Heatwave, Bloodstone and the Chi-Lites, and lots of other cool stuff throughout the summer. Toni Braxton and Babyface play on July 23, rugged soul man sings Anthony Hamilton on August 6, and Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins get down on August 27.

Free movie nights are also planned, with Frozen on June 9, The Avengers on June 23 and Selma on July 7.
