Breathe - Lalah Hathaway

Lalah Hathaway, Vince Mendoza & Metropole orchestra in Paradiso, Amsterdam 23 Mei 2015

[@clc1160]

The Conductor is vibing out. He looking like he is enjoying the moment. Excellent job. I love Lalah.

[@karencanan2701]

i love how the conductor relaxes once Lala Hathaway starts singing :-)

[@haroldsmither8378]

Some people open there mouth and it is magical, Lalah Hathaway is one of those people. Forever UNSUNG, in her R&B Music lives - alive, vibrant & relevant. She is not only a continuation of her father, but her own unique star blazing a path across the musical landscape....I am glad she did not get caught up in demons and let the world be robbed once again of the Hathaway musical magic....often in the world of music the children fall short on talent (or there talent is different from the star parent), or in fulfillment of the promise of musical pedigree, but I have to say (and I think everyone would agree) Lalah has definitely overcome any jinx and established her own legacy!

[@JamesWilliams-qy1zj]

Well said

[@sharonsmith5511]

I totally agree with you ,her music is revelant....amazing!

[@andretolliver5875]

Even the conductor was with the groove? Amazingly talented Singer. WOW!

[@innergx3]

All those musical instruments, yet none can compare to Lalah’s beautiful instrument

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

Everyone smiles in the beginning ALREADY KNOWING THEY’RE ABOUT TO GET DONE UP❤️❤️ That conductor is cool as hell, lookin at her like “You ready, Sis❓⁉️”😄😄😄😄😄

[@Deerych]

This song has been my soundtrack for 2020! Whew....just breathe!

[@christinehackett1063]

Lalah is amazing and the orchestra -- OMG no suitable words ❤.

[@jacop1637]

Yes - This concert should be released for purchase. A truly masterpiece of music.

[@louveniaadams1835]

Seriously.

[@janethaley2469]

I enjoyed that conductor!!! beautiful moments!! that lead

[@JAMANIJAMANI]

The story is yet to be told!! Indeed!

[@MJ-qb6kt]

Man i'm almost a little jealous many are starting to realize about her that I realized and hung on to since the 90's. She is so beautiful. Combine that with her sultry voice, mesmerizing!!

[@MrsTee776]

The director is really feeling her music ;) it must be nice..

[@Raquel-tx9zw]

yeah, he does appear to be grooving more than directing

[@francinehines7765]

This took place in the Netherlands so he might be high... just saying

[@twangbarfly]

Of course he didn't just direct the orchestra - he also arranged the piece. It's the wonderful Vince Mendoza. Check out his incredible arrangements on Joni Mitchell's Travelogue album. Woodstock for example. The man is a genius. Vince Mendoza with Lalah Hathaway could only ever be fantastic.

[@jakobhelling]

@@twangbarfly Vince is obviously conducting, but the arrangement is by Claudia Döffinger!

[@twangbarfly]

@@jakobhelling Thanks for that, Jakob. Vince is an extremely talented guy, but he's not the only one out there!

[@ijohannesen2694]

Traveled to Amsterdam to see Lalah and the Metropole orchestra. This brings back so many sweet memories. Thanks for uploading.

[@dswintmusic1962]

This entire performance is just amazing... 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@bladejms]

Lalah and Metropole, what a combination! Absolutely Magnificent, no other words necessary..........

[@rudolphsherkliff8726]

I’ve seen Lalah 5 times and she never ever disappoints. Donny is looking down on his baby girl continuing his legacy. Lalah is a treat to behold!🙂🎤🎶🎵🎻🎻🎻🎺🎹🎸🥁🎼👏🏾👏🏾

[@nelisabadu3194]

the director doesn't know whether to direct or blues around. The way nje Lala 😊😊😊

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

I hope that conductor was saying "thank you Lord"‼️ To be in his shoes that night was like a wedgie from Jesus‼️🎁🎁 LHM her voice and that orchestra are like one unit😊 🎁😄GOD is amazing

[@jerroldfrank5869]

“A wedgie from Jesus.” Your original? Love it!

[@lovicedavidson7611]

This is one of my most famous songs by her that I love with the orchestra it is just so beautiful when I’m down or up I always play this song. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

[@jakobhelling]

The arranger of this version is CLAUDIA DÖFFINGER - not Vince Mendoza, as one might guess.

[@itsyscott6627]

I BET that Lalah would turn that annoying Baby Shark song into something that I wouldn’t mind listening to over and over again 😄

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

Oh Lord💯💯

[@1MUNDLE]

❤️❤️

[@AMtwoG]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Rosyid2040]

This song is better when u turn the speed to 1.25x

[@jdfodio]

It's a miracle that Lalah can 🎶breathe🎶 in her Spanx (bodyshaper) enough to give such a beautiful performance. 😉

[@lovicedavidson7611]

No one like the boom
