Not only did Patti LaBelle not sing the lead but the Blue Belles didnt even record this. In 1962, Chicago-based girl group The Starlets were riding high with their top forty single, Better Tell Him No. That year, while on tour, they were convinced by Newtown Records president Harold Robinson to appear in a recording schedule where they recorded two songs. One of which was I Sold My Heart to the Junkman. After recording the songs, Robinson released the song on his label but instead of crediting the Starlets, instead credited a Philadelphia-based girl group named The Ordettes, who had changed their name to The Blue Belles - after a threat from another record boss, the name was altered to Patti LaBelle and Her Blue Belles.. youtube/watch?v=vXUENzPd3HE
