One of the greatest voices of all time through all genres

Hello friends, this is Doug Payne of Doug Payne & Polygon. I had the chance to meet Lalah at the 2015 Marian Anderson Awards held in Philly. I told her that I attended her father's memorial service held at Rankin Chapel when I was a music student at Howard University. I remember when Stevie Wonder sent a beautiful acknowledgement to Donnie. She laughed when I told her that the music professors at Howard were tough on us because of the success of their former students Donnie & Roberta.

Lalah has such a beautiful voice that even when she just speaks she still sounds great.

"If you're up there with your eyes closed...feeling precious and feeling cute-Nobody is here for that. People want to be moved- people want to feel you in the room and that's how you make the difference" @lalahhathaway

Lalah is so knowledgeable about her craft/art, she's so very literate/intelligent & well spoken, beautiful, & a vocal genius🙌🏾 #BlackWoman #StrongWoman #IntelligentWoman #TimelessArtist = #HathawayGreatness #BlackGirlzRock💃🏾Lalah💜

did she just harmonize with herself at :13?

She sang a chord! #shooketh #hathaway ❤❤🎹🎶🎙🎤

Love how Lalah uses her gift and sets it free in her musical expression. Artistry is so much better than simply being a singer in the music industry. Never compromise on your passion. Thank you👏👏💖

I love this they were so honest music isn't always about perfection as much as your passion I so love Lala and her art and who she sings with and what she stands for never selling out but yet always winning

Brilliant, talented and soulful as she is...can I also say she fine as hell.

"Don't be that girl"" Yass Lalah!

PREACH LALAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goosebumps every time

Good advice! I wish I'd had conversations like this about music when I was younger and learned something from them as well :)

This is exactly what I needed to see! The advice was straight gold!

I enjoy this lady. She is a tremendous gift to musicians. I value her advice.

I LOVE HER

@Neoukm Thank u

Did you here the music industry, stop closing your eyes when you sing.

pppppppppllllllllllleeeaaaase come to Greece!!

please help me to use my alto voice

what the song at the Beginning???

too short!

He got two prime seating tickets to see her show. Out of town in a destination type city. All expenses paid! I am an adoring fan who wld love to focus ALL my attention on EVERY sound Lalah has to communicate- y'all dig whud I'm sayin? Then I'll want to marinate in it.... let my memory perculate the testimony I just received. Sooooo my problem is when he'll want to interrupt because he kinda needs the world to revolve around him. 1) suggest he use the ticket with someone who feels he hung the moon? 2) excuse myself as she takes the stage and watch from some obscure place? 3) get a second job and buy my own ticket? 4) slip him a Mickey and wake him when its over?

is there a full version of this ? thanks a lot friends.

What song was she performing at the beginning? Or was she just improvising? 😮

Hey, stop! Whats the name of that songIts close to the end if anybody may know.

I thought the guy in the intro was singing for bout 4 secs 😂😂😂😂😂
