Debelah Laksh Morgan is an American singer and songwriter. Morgan is best known for her 2000 single "Dance with Me," which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100.

She signed with Atlantic Records in 1994 and released her debut album, Debelah, which featured the singles "Take It Easy" and "Free", both of which charted on the R&B charts. A couple of years later, she moved to VAZ/Motown Records and released her single "Yesterday," which was a Top 30 R&B hit and landed on the Pop charts. However, while her second album, It's Not Over, was released in Japan and a few other international territories, it was shelved in the United States in 1998.

Two years later, she re-signed with Atlantic Records and released her biggest single to date, "Dance with Me", which peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in addition to becoming a top-five dance hit. Her third studio album, Dance with Me, soon followed in 2000 and peaked at number 35 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. Two additional singles ("I Remember" and "Close to You") were released from the album. Additionally, she contributed the song "Why Did You Have to Be" to the Osmosis Jones soundtrack and a cover of "Do You Remember?" to the Phil Collins tribute album Urban Renewal.

In 2005, she signed with the independent label RansomWear and released her fourth album, Light at the End of the Tunnel (a gospel release), preceded by the single "Just as I Am." The album remains out of print and unavailable on any digital services.

He became interested in acting as a teenager. During a reading of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex in high school, Townsend captured the attention of Chicago's X Bag Theatre, The Experimental Black Actors Guild. Townsend later auditioned for parts at Chicago's Experimental Black Actors' Guild and performed in local plays studying at the famed Second City comedy workshop for improvisation in 1974.

Townsend had a brief uncredited role in the 1975 movie Cooley High but says the film "changed his life" for what he perceived as its true-to-life portrayal of people like him.

After high school, Townsend enrolled at Illinois State University studied for a year and later moved to New York to study at the Negro Ensemble Company. Townsend's mother believed that he should complete his college education, but he felt that college took time away from his passion for acting, and he soon dropped out of school to pursue his acting career full-time.

In 2010, she released the live album Let the Worship in Champions Live 2 with her Las Vegas church, of which she is their worship leader. The following year, she was slated to have shot a pilot for a reality series with R&B singers Shanice and Karyn White.

In 2012 and 2013, she performed with the R&B group Rose Royce as their lead vocalist for several shows.

In 2015, she collaborated with Shanice and All-4-One on the track "Go to Bed" off the latter's album Twenty.
