After his work with The Stones', Dash also appeared in The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1978.

Grammy winner LaBelle shared a tribute on Twitter to her friend and collaborator, saying that they had just performed together this weekend.

LaBelle wrote, "We were just onstage together on Saturday and that was such a powerful moment."

Further, the post reads: "Sarah Dash, an amazingly talented, beautiful and loving soul, blessed my life, and that of so many others in so many ways that I cannot even begin to describe.

"And I knew that she would always be there for me!" Sarah was a loyal friend and a voice for all who did not have one.

It concluded by saying, "I am heartbroken...Rest in strength, my dear sister."
