"Down the Aisle (The Wedding Song)" is a doo-wop ballad recorded and released by girl group Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles in 1963.
Despite getting credit for "Junkman", the group failed to find a follow-up hit with songs such as "Go On" and "Cool Water".

The song is notable for lead singer Patti LaBelle singing in a high whistle register vocal near the end of the song while backed up by her lower-octave singing partners.
The song later became a favorite for "blue night basement parties" and slow dances.
