Goodies: Lalah Hathaway

Words needn’t really be uttered, nor will they EVER do justice in trying to talk about Lalah Hathaway’s voice and vocal ability.  EVER!  LOL

Listen to the rich and full tone, the unbelievable color there… the control… the musical choices in ad libbing…

Here, she’s singing the instant classic “Don’t Forget To Remember” with Donald Lawrence and ‘em at a TV One thing a few years ago.

PLEASE tell me what you think about THAT singing RIGHT THERE! LOL

    I love Lalah, this is my favorite song on that d lawrence album... I wish she sang gospel more often... I love smooth jazzy music, with the word behind it... especially when I am doing homework... I can't be shoutin, jumpin, and crying while trying to complete a paper, all the time... Yes, Jesus deserves the praise, but can he please get the GLORY out of my completed and on time work... lol... In conclusion, love her!

    Her Daddy is all over this! I mean...I loved Donnie way before there even was a Lalah to talk about. Nonetheless, it is wonderful to hear that same distinctive voice pumping through her chords. A man who died in great despair and strife...Oh what a blessing to see his daughter singing of the power and praise of God. Although, she doesn't sing gospel often (I don't personally think you have to in order to show off your Christianity---some seemingly un-Christian messages are closer to Christ than those which are claimed to be from Him), it is always a treat to hear her sing anyhow! What an awesome gift and instrument....so free.....so one with the other instruments in the mix...WOW!

    Oh my goodness! Lalah is awesome! @Darryl - you are SO right about Donny. One of the best male vocalists ever. Thanks for sharing, EJ. Made my day!
