La La - Show Me (Audio only)

La Forrest Cope, professionally known as La La, is an American songwriter and performer raised in the East Elmhurst neighborhood of Queens, New York, U.S.A.

She is best known for writing the BillBoard #3 hit song "You Give Good Love" recorded by Whitney Houston for her self-titled debut album in 1985 that sold over 15 million units.

La La took up the piano at the age of five and gave a piano recital at Carnegie Hall aged nine.

After leaving New York's High School Of Music And Art she formed a band called Jack Sass, which played Top 40 cover versions on the club scene.

As the groups reputation grew, La La began introducing more of her own songs into the repertoire before she went to Juilliard to major in composition.

In 1981, she was invited to tour with Stacy Lattisaw who opened for The Jacksons on a national tour.

Following this she sang with Change, along with Luther Vandross.

Her voice was heard on their tune 'The Glow Of Love'.

She played one of her songs, 'Stone Love', to neighbourhood friend Kashif who recorded it on his debut album in 1983.

La La has penned songs for many artists inlcuding Lillo Thomas ('All Of You'), Melba Moore ('Living For Your Love' and 'It's Really Love'), Glenn Jones ('Show Me' and 'Stay'), Giorge Pettus ('My Night For Love') and a solo release 'Into The Night' which was featured on the 'Beat Street' soundtrack album.

Through Kashif, she had a couple of her tunes recorded by Whitney Houston ('You Give Good Love' and 'Thinking About You') before signing to Arista (both Kashif and Whitney Houston's label) as an artist.

In 1987, a debut album 'La La', included 'We'll Keep Striving' (a duet with Bernard Wright, was released, but she left the label shortly afterwards.

La La also wrote for Carl Anderson and Stephanie Mills in addition to further songs for herself, after a move to Motown Records in the early nineties.

Her debut Motown album was 'La La Means I Love You' in 1991. Show Me is from that album.

Respond to this video... I LIKE EVERYONE ON YOU TUBE is looking for the name of her song in beat street.

Please ask La La for the name and label.

The only other person who may know it is Dj Jazzy J (dj kenny) who played it on the set.

@MegaTyler98 Are you thinking about Leila K? She was a rapper in Sweden in the late 80`s, the she started doing clubmusic. She has been a heavy drugaddict for many years now, word is she also has hepatitis and hiv. I`ve seen her a couple of times on the streets here in Stockholm, she is tragic. Lost some teeth, wearing different whigs to cover hairloss. Homeless, people say she is also a prostitute. She is lost. And pretty agressive according to people who have caught her shoplifting...

@blazeruru Since you know her can you please show her the clip from the movie Beat Street titled "Beat Street Burning Spear Audition" and ask her if she sings the song at 0:52. It's a mix that starts off with the song "Into the Night" that's by her and everybody is trying to figure out and find the next song that's mixed in after that. A lot of people are saying that it sounds like La La but nobody knows or can find the song! I've been looking for this song since Beat Street was released in 1984
