LORETTA DEVINE Dreamgirls "Ain't No Party"

From the 2012 L.A. "Original Cast" concert, Loretta Devine sings "Ain't No Party," the number she introduced in the 1981 original Broadway production of "Dreaqmgirls." Loretta Devine returns to the NY stage this week in City Center's "Pal Joey."

It was clearly written around her voice. It sits so easily in her range, and she can still deliver the goods! Love her.

Really! Literally no one else can sing it to me! It’s too hard!

[@jghays]

I agree. She’s perfect. Though I think Anika Noni Rose would have slayed it if they hadn’t have been fools and cut the song. Makes me so mad still.

@@jghays 100%. They should have at least filmed it and then decided if it was going to be cut or not, but to just cut it when you have a voice like hers is a crazy decision.

[@bernieappugliese2029]

This cut on the original cast album is and always has been one of my all time favorites!
