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 hit song "You Give Good Love" recorded by Whitney Houston for her self-titled debut album in 1985 that sold over 15 million units. ==History== La La took up the piano at the age of five and gave a piano recital at Carnegie Hall at the age of 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 group's 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 the group Change, along with Luther Vandross, where her voice was heard on their tune 'The Glow Of Love', co-written by her childhood friend from East Elmhurst, Queens, Wayne K. Garfield. She played one of her songs, 'Stone Love', to another neighborhood friend, Kashif, who recorded it on his debut album in 1983. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LaLa (songwriter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
