LaChanze
Rhonda LaChanze Sapp, known professionally as LaChanze (/ləʃɑnz/; born December 16, 1961) is an American actress, singer, and dancer. She won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical in 2006 for her role in The Color Purple.
Life
Born in St. Augustine, Florida, to parents Walter and Rosalie Sapp, her stage name "LaChanze" (Creole: the charmed one), is taken from her grandmother. After moving to Connecticut, her childhood love of singing and dancing caused her mother to enroll her in the Bowen Peters Cultural Arts Center in New Haven. It is there that she first discovered her love for performing. At Warren Harding High School in Bridgeport, LaChanze made her debut as Lola in the school production of Damn Yankees.
Living so close to New York City gave LaChanze access to the world of theater. The first theatrical production she ever saw was the musical Chicago. Graciela Daniele was cast in the production and many years later Daniele had a lasting impact on LaChanze's professional development as a performer. While she greatly enjoyed the dance world, LaChanze often felt limited and had the frequent urge to stop dancing and belt out a dramatic tune or to erupt into an intense monologue.

Disbelief
by: L.A. GunsTalking 'bout your silver, baby
Talking 'bout your gold
Give you in discrecious
With a 25 a soul
I'm not wasting any time
Listening to those words we learn
I've got better things to do
Stop in jail like we supposed
Look, you ain't got no claws
Always want your point of view
I watch those standing dogs, yeah
She don't believe in love
She don't believe in love
She don't believe in love
Bad girl, don't believe in love
Can't flakes you up or twice
Stop to slap the nail
Spread yourself like margarine
All over the sense of town
Drag myself right up to top
Where it sounds secure you know
I don't need this anymore
Stop in jail like we supposed
Look, you ain't got no claws
Always want you point of view
I watch those standing dogs, they go
She don't believe in love
She don't believe in love
She don't believe in love
Bad girl, don't believe in love
She don't believe in love
She don't believe in love
She don't believe in love
Bad girl, don't believe in love
Talking 'bout your silver, baby
Talking 'bout your gold
Give you in discrecious
With a 25 a soul
I'm not wasting any time
Listening to those words we learn
I've got better things to do
Stop in jail like we supposed
Look, you ain't got no claws
Always want your point of view
