It's Alright with Me is the third studio album by American singer Patti LaBelle, released in 1979 via Epic Records.[5] Produced by Skip Scarborough, the album was a success due to the popularity of the songs "Come What May" and "Music is My Way of Life", the latter finding success on the dance chart.
Rolling Stone wrote that the "sleek arrangements are too tight to allow the aimless vocal overkill that marred so many earlier performances, yet they're flexible enough to avoid formulas."[1] The Bay State Banner thought that "sometimes [Labelle's] shrill yells and cries can wear on the ears, but the bulk of this album presents her most effectively, joining the past cosmic aura of the group Labelle with today's more earthy atmosphere."[6]
