Part 1 of Lalah Hathaway Live at Essence Music Festival 2009, "Forever, For Always, For Love"

[ycwilliams777]

This is the stuff!

[777Aharon]

@mrmiles725. Yeah thanks for construing the state that I made in layman's term. I think you took my politically incorrect descriptive words too literal. The art of climaxing is understood on my behalf, but I had intentions describing his performance in a less uptight way.

[keemonta]

@777Aharon stfu!

[777Aharon]

The guitarist was being shy at first, then he became comfortable, before getting silly with it.

[mrmiles725]

@777Aharon Ummm, nah. It's called building to a climax, so you start slowly and werk from there. Boy took his time with it. Boy know what he doin'. Boy's a professional.

[datfyre]

the white boy got off



[mslegacy01]

I cannot fathom for the life of me...why this woman has NOT gotten mainstream press or love! This woman is DEFINIATELY Donny's daughter--oodling with tons of talent! Can't believe no talk show has had her on! As much as I loved Luther's version of this song....this is HERS all the way! All the way! Luther and her daddy must be smiling and singing along with her from Heaven! You GO girl.....

[daveydave39]

Lalah voice is the like butta, baby straight butta!!! And the guitar player did the Dam thing! Oh my!!!

[KMILLERmuzik]

GRAAAACIOUS GOD!!!! Yes!

[frsh6272]

I think her being underrated is what preserved her so well. Leave her untouched by this treacherous music industry.

[Wintersland25]

She's one of the most underrated singers, & she'd make rings around lots of the so called stars around now,I love you Lalah always & forever.

[CarmenJonesOne]

[Baboontroop]

Her voice is signature, she could put out an album without any press and you would know it was her from the first note.

She is Donny's daughter, but without question she has become her own woman.

[htownlove85]

REAL MUSIC this is what should be jammin on the radio stations. Who is the guitarist?theband? I love Lalah Hathaway...she is truly a uniquely gifted artist!!! She calmy executes such beautiful music with her voice...such control and grace. Amazing!!!

[islezeus]

Yes! Why does the radio play such crap today and leave gems like this off the air?

[siloheim118]

you ever seen melanie fiona- another gem

[salobe323]

i missed her lounge but i got the chance to see her at the Daughters of Alpha celebration. her voice reminds me of her father's. I just love it and appreciate it when people take the time to study and master their craft. Thank u Lalah. cant wait to see you again.

[itriumph]

I LOVE this woman!! Her musical interpretation is on point! Sing it girl!

[lenorent]

Maaan, I'm telling you. I got everything I need watching this video! Lalah never disappoints. And as if the sanging wasn't enough, the guitar solo just...I was too through by the end. I haven't seen somebody lick a guitar like that in a minute. Lucky you got to attend.
