SHE'S ONLY ONE THAT I CAN HONESTLY SAY CAN DO THIS SONG JUSTICE AFTER HER FATHER. I've heard many sing it. She's by far the best cover

[@bobredford9237]

She sounds so much like her father. It is almost as if he is singing through her!

[@justmaria5806]

I will always believe this was Donny's love song to his daughter. I only hope God was able to show him how much he was and is still beloved by so many. What a gift and talent he passed on to his baby girl..........

Nobody in this world needs to touch this man's song but his child... PERIOD...

Love You Lelia Hathaway 😂❤

Cody Lee.

[@TexasGit]

He didn't write the song, but yes it is essentially his.

[@clivemtshisa2382]

What is uncanny is the sameness between daughter and father's rendition of this beautiful Leon Russel composition ...no difference in voice, depth and rhythm...she is really her father's daughter, Donny Hathaway..

[@angelicahalenews659]

It reminds me of Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole singing Unforgettable.

[@robertaswhite4939]

It's a spirit🙌🏾

[@bristolstomp]

Years later, still brings tears to my eyes. Like her daddy is singing through her and yet she is herself.

[@pierrewalker1026]

Oh my I JUST said the same thing. It made me cry😢. Have you heard Lalah sing in harmony with her self!!!? OMG. It’s Crazy!!!

[@HenkWelman]

The only woman that sings that song just as beautiful as her dad does. Amazing.

[@stephbrown8123]

Amen to that

[@hiddengospel]

@@stephbrown8123 There is no doubt. Donny was and always will be male vocal royalty. PERIOD! I remember well first hearing Lalah. Gave me chils. Could not believe it! Still and all. Having listened closely to this song, I would've loved just once to hear Gladys K. do it. WOW!

LORD HA MERCY! LORD HA MERCY I get chills when I hear this sung by her!

Magnificent. A grown man is watching and crying. Donny would be so proud of his sangin' ass babygirl. Y'all know that Donny has ANOTHER singing daughter, Kenya Hathaway, who is an INCREDIBLE vocalist in her own right? Look her up here on KZbin. Donny's talents truly were left behind inside his beautiful girls.

Carey Conley although Lalah is my absolute favorite singer, you are CORRECT!!! Kenya Hathaway is an amazing vocalist as well!!! She’s one of the most sought after supportive vocalist in entertainment! Mr. Hathaway’s legacy is in the absolute best hands with his daughters! 🙌🏾
