In visualforce page how can we display header for selectList?

In my visualforce page I'm displaying the selectlist with the selectOptions, but on top of the selectList I want to display the heading for the selectlist (i.e. something like "Available Accounts") which has to be a in-built functionality. I tried title and label attribute on the selectList to display the headings but it didn't display. So how can I display the heading for selectList?
