If only she & her daddy could've sang together that would've been MAGICAL

[@rachybaby72]

She could do a Natalie Cole thing where Natalie sang Unforgettable "with" Nat.

[@LeandroLLBlessed]

I can hear donny in her voice all the time.

[@djspinsandneedles5272]

Actually there is, "You Were Meant For Me". The producer of the song put the two voices together as a duet...it's a real gem!!! Please KZbin it!!!

[@anthonyholley2796]

@@rachybaby72 That is exactly what i was thinking!

[@muhddiallison8482]

That would've been amazing

[@NewYorkCityBoxing]

Her voice is the female equivalent of her Dad's voice.

[@rachybaby72]

Yep. Though deeper, go figure...

[@ahmadelbjeirmi8849]

@@rachybaby72 not really, donny’s voice was really really deep

[@KajiVocals]

@@ahmadelbjeirmi8849 What? Donny was a natural tenor and rarely ever sang below a C4... He was belting all the way up to D5, and sometimes higher in his songs. Hardly a low voice.

[@silindilemalaza9522]

It's amazing

[@nasserdeen1]

Her dad Donny Hathaway to me is the best singer throughout Eternity.

[@henriquekubakubinski5788]

Lalah has the same melismas, vibrato, velvety and airy timbre. But she sings more softly and lightly, she has her own identity. Too talented family. Thanks for existing.

[@krochelle2619]

YES 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾‼️

[@user-vi4ek7tv4v]

😢😢😢😢

[@reneeedwards9109]

There is no doubt vocally that she is Donny Hathaway's daughter. She makes his voice live on.

[@russellsimonds7148]

Fuckin A, bro! ❤❤❤❤

[@moniettebondu1195]

Next generation...improved!

[@quintillabatts9472]

Yes she does, i love me some Donny Hathaway. To me one of the greatest singers there ever was.

[@floreaalexandruionut7717]

She's good, but she's half of what her father was. She's not that special. I feel no emotions from her, only vocal tehnique.

[@reneeedwards9109]

@@floreaalexandruionut7717 Ok I agree that she is not as good as her father was.

[@oldskooljunky1]

Baby was playing that piano too go girl!

[@juliecole4848]

Wow! The female version of Donny. Beautiful velvety voice that knows when to hold back and when to let go and belt it out! And thank you Leon Russell for writing this song that was destined to be sung by Donny and his beautiful daughter!

[@myh6948]

I hear Donny in Lalah..so emotional and beautiful..

[@marvinfairley5408]

She an amazing singer outstanding

[@brendarenfro8682]

Please see, if you have not, Lalah sings A Song for You, "Apollo Live" !

Do you mean penis?

[@janisclark3743]

She was channeling her dad in this song!WOW! WOW! WOW!

[@niyahseion5469]

Lalah is such a special gem, that really we didn’t deserve, but Donny left us. I’m very grateful that even with her loss, her passion has led her to share her gift.

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

That “...than you’ll ever know” was everything😫😫 and the transition to A Song for You...OMG🥺🥺

[@nicolenixon9923]

Food for thought that's his other Daughter playing the Piano...if no one caught it! They have different Moms Donny would be so very proud of these beautiful ladies for carrying on his Legacy 💞😍. They are his Legacy Rip Donny Hathaway. Great job ladies and God bless you both.

[@dariusduffie8377]

Are you sure because that doesn't look like Kenya or Donnita or does he have another daughter?

[@joshuacraft3332]

When she starts hitting those runs towards the end of the song, especially the first “I love you in a place…”, she sounds just like her dad. His music lives on. He influences every generation after him.

[@thelmanelms6313]

Beautiful. Just touches the heart of this 73 year old grandmother. Love Donny and his beautiful daughter

[@nopjack7278]

Beautiful...Lalah, keep your father's legacy alive...he had a very special gift and he left behind priceless gems for us to enjoy...including YOU.

[@butchyboy6152]

She Should Definitely Do An Album Of Her Dad's Greatest Hits...

[@renelia21]

She sounds amazing, just like her dad ❤️

[@laraywilliams6627]

Her and her father equal vocal perfection ❤

[@carltondean3675]

Donny being my all time favorite male vocalist, by default makes Lalah my all time favorite female vocalist. She has the silk in her voice that only Donny had!!! Amazing!

[@Brick_Squared]

That song stirs so much emotion. When that verse "and when my life is over" is sung. The tears come.

[@mickeyfletcher1630]

Her father is smiling down from heaven

[@helloxons]

Wow! Wow! Wow! She just did two songs that are among my very top favs... & did them brilliantly...!!! Her father would be extremely proud...!!!

[@juangotti9348]

amazing performance (by the way this song is by Leon Russel)

[@yeliz__]

she really is her father's daughter

[@littlekaza3344]

Lalal, your Daddy lives on... he has a special place in my heart.. his music touches me every time... Trying times in 2021, Donny keeps me grounded..❤️

[@klapsker714]

I have been humbled through this performance.

[@tonystheclick]

I JUST CANT TELL U HOW AWESOME THIS IS! I cried!

[@khismet]

Takes your breath away.. every note resonates with supreme clarity that it pulls your own breath and carries it into the upper regions of air beyond the clouds, ASTONISHINGLY ATMOSPHERIC! TEARS FLOW💜

[@skylarberry3754]

oof the last note always kills me, she hits it just like her dad, took the air out of me, so beautiful

[@ahmadelbjeirmi8849]

Especially that “WeEeEeEeEe were alone”. Sounds exactly like him

[@francescam.e.1884]

She has an amazing voice! So talented like her father. It would have been such a memorable moment to hear them both singing it together.

[@dannyadams4603]

though the original and authentic belongs to great leon russel, but donny and lala sang this unforgettable classic with even more fluidity and beautiful vocals ...

[@reykane1880]

FACTS THEY OWN THIS SONG

[@tianrichards]

It’s eerily uncanny HOW MUCH she sounds like father- soul to tone to phrasing. Wow, I feel like I was at a Donny Hathaway concert myself!

[@jont39]

Props for the pianist's playing

[@beloncekamz2821]

This is so therapeutic😍✨✨the sounds of the piano and that amazing voice🔥🔥.

[@raian4815]

she is the softier version of her dad.... even though i wasnt even born when he was singing, this is still pretty and emotional :)

[@gertrudebuck366]

I just love her down to earth ness!!

[@Sandlund93]

Wow, 5:30 of that quality is 1 in a million. If not even more rare.

[@dickyyrrep1383]

It’s there, it’s hard to describe but no one else could do it. Donny you are the man. This girl brings you back.

[@reneearismendez293]

Dear God this woman can sing!! I hear her daddy coming through and it chokes me up! Just beautiful! Ugh now I'm emotional 😩

[@chriscook1249]

Donny lives on.

[@yeshivalivingwithalvinlewi9415]

I've heard countless renditions of this soulful classic, typically young singers overkill the texture and mystic of this classic by vocal gyrations, instead of capturing the Aviance of Donnie Hathaway. Thank you Lalah Hathaway for sharing and paying such a delicate and respectful tribute to your father. Blood is thicker than water.

[@asayudwhaddameant8346]

Clean tone, pure sensible phrasing. Love this.

[@janierunaway112]

Brilliant. Heritage! (And doesn't the pianist kick ass!)

[@karenhallman6342]

All I can say is, WOW!!

[@fisherflips]

When she closes her eyes and reopens them... her dad is definitely in there.

I love this woman.... It would be really hard for me to sing my daddy's song live like this. Major respect for this woman.

[@jmk1962]

It wasn't Donny's song. It was written by Leon Russell. Donny just covered it although I do agree he sang it better than Leon.
