Lalah Hathaway - Forever, For Always, For Love

[dladydidoug]

Luther Vandross introduced us to this song but my girl Lalah has nailed it ... it doesn't get any more sultry & sensual & soulful ...

[QueenLioness84]

Didn't Luther Vandrose sing this originally?

[kitty2pat]

Maturity's brought out the rich fullness of Lalah's voice. I promise I hear her Dad in her. He sho' nuff' left her his legacy. FABULOUS ! ! !

[marsha3131]

THIS IS LALAH SONG LUTHER IM JUST SORRY. THIS GIRL CAN BLOW!!!!!!!

[OMGmmmkay]

Im naming my daughter after her (:

[MrAliquippawill1]

Folks, understand this: In terms of Male vocalists, I hold Luther Vandross on a plateau so high, only 2 other vocalists exist on that plateau..........Marvin Gaye & Donny Hathaway, Lalah's father. It's no great mystery why I sincerely enjoy EVERY MOMENT of this song: It's like Donny singing Luther! Lalah's talent is truly breathtaking. From her lyrical interpretation & phrasing, to the very tone of her voice.......she is TRULY her father's daughter. Genetics like hers are priceless.

[Shawn175]

This woman is so beautiful, just like her music.

[TheDeedees2]

This is for you Anthony;;;;loving you forever, for always, for love...missing you

[jhwil90]

Crazy that "mac miller" and justin beiber get well over 5 million hit per video but not Lalah.... :-(

[girlnxstor]

This is Music This is REAL singing This is an ANGELS Voice LUV HER forever for always!!!

[Therealfuronda]

Real Music.

[CJSings1991]

[CJSings1991]

[TheLuckyloosee]

EARGASM......

[artist40hou]

Ummm, that voice! and that hammond organ, so soothing. She took Luther's song and made it hers. Greatness begats greatness.

[ericaesaw1120]

I love this song so so much,she really out done her self on this song,i'm feel u on this..b bless..

[wookyz1]

love you lalah

[dtonbass]

Luther and Hathaway both did this song right!

[lyssgrnt]

the lady is sharp



[Gottaknowbetterful]

It's hard to hit a Luther song the right way as a remake, because Luther did it right the first time. Lalah I bow to you in deference!! You hit that just the way I needed to hear it!

[MrSpen1984]

SPEECHLESS........Man...

[sointunewithu]

Her father would be proud of this beautiful singing songbird. Do your thang, Lalah!

[rakilam]

lalah you have a beautiful voice, love your music, it comes from a higher realm

[feliciahoyle23]

My favorite love, relaxing, soothing song EVER!! I love Luther too, but Lalah did this her way and made it the only way for me!

[brownmolasses]

so mellow and sweet. easy listening; wind me down music

[onemeanscorpio]

Lalah is in a genre all by herself---there is no comparison. Don't even think about putting her and Beyonce in the same sentence. This woman is the epitome of soul, R&B and jazz. When she sings her high notes and switches it over to that deep low note in the same hook on a song--that's awesome. She is one of the sexiest lyricist on the planet!!! Take notes Beyonce!

[pameliaseymore]

Im n my own zone....

[enmaxus]

Sing Lalah!

[JustGod7]

ah man

[Mr7galvin]

oooooooohhhhh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keekerable]

You know, If I didn`t know any better, I would have thought, Lalah Hathaway was the original Artist! I didn`t think anyone could top Luther Vandross, with this song! MS. Lalah Hathaway Took This And Made It Her Own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This CD Out Run The Sky Is The Bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!

[asniper36]

THIS IS UP MY ALLEY, GROWN N SEXY I LOVE IT!!

[67empress]

i wish there were a video to this song

[cutiekimm0871]

Beautiful!!

[jvtreed]

Its because of women like this who have soul in their voice, Beyonce should lose hers.

[canelizbermo1188]

@jvtreed bey

is

just

as

beautiful

[tenorbear60]

Does it get any smoother than this? Donny would be so proud.

[pgluv1]

This song just touches the soul yes;

[Triciasutube]

Love this song. x

[mbluna]

If I could sing like this there would be no need for me to talk...I would just sing everything. *singing* "Yes I want fries with that." lol

[verbatimmags]

@mbluna (Hahaha... singing I want fries with that). YeeEESSeesss.. eyeeeee want FRiessssszzz wit that! A Da, da, da, da, da, da diet coke. Please, please, please add cheese on my (like luther) Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba burger. "Say it for me 3 times" Ba Ba Ba Burger! "Say it for me 4 times" Ba Ba Ba Ba Burger".

[MrSteven1577]

No 1 dose it like Lalah does it.

[thickthunderthigh79]

Her range is R I D I C U L O U S !! #loveLalah

[MsPhatcontroller1]

Her daddy would B SOOOOO proud. Thank the Force for music like this!

[AllHailtheQueenbee]

I love this song. Going to play this at my wedding reception.

[jackie9847]

GOD I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! i like to have this playing on repeat softly at night when im in bed it relaxes me and helps me fall alsleep.

[jms2470]

thinking of singing this in the school talent show thumbs up if i shud

[latoyajohn1]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[DaddySweet100]

It's very rare that the off spring of great talents are able to live up to or exceed their parents. I guess Donnie Hathaway had some high caliber sperm. I won't care compare her to her father, it's unfair to the both of them. Lelah's vocal talent is "5 Star" rating to me. Donnie was in a leauge of his own during his career. I love them both and I think we are lucky to have had them both in our lifetime..

[DaddySweet100]

When I hear Lelah sing this song I become dazed and intoxicated with the sentiments of love. Giving love, receiving love and making love. I guess that's why I keep hitting replay. Such a beautiful and lovely voice. I think I'll send this one to my lady right now and then I'll hit the reply again....

[alphonsemouzon]

I know your dad (Donny) is smiling in Heaven listening to you sing so beautiful. I can hear his vibes in your voice! You learned from the very best - your dad!!

[mizzbabyb1]

this is a beautiful song

[exkeyboardplaya504]

Ya'll gotta her live. it's scary...but in a good way.

[exkeyboardplaya504]

SoulQuarian by default. Yes....she's DOWN!

[sexynana1206]

I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG BY HER SHE DOES A GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

[Knowledge3440]

She have to have the sexiest lips on a woman I have ever seen.

[exkeyboardplaya504]

@Knowledge3440 Yes Yes Yes....I concur, bruh! Her & Angie Stone

[lolapoeticflo]

THey say ain't no school like the old school....well I beg to differ on that tip...

[sky78234]

Oh Lawd she looking so right on that Album pic right there and she sound so sexy two thumbs up

[agapewoman11]

this is the jam....just that simple.

[illyDup]

My all time favorite! Lalah kicks it off with this one!

[namartin2]

No one does it like Luther, but boy o' boy, Lalah did the darn thing right

[MsMonicaHolmes]

I just love this song! :-)

[aleasterling5]

lalah or luther's who did it best my vote is the man luther

[19Yahudah]

This goes to show you, no need to scream a high pitched tone to sound like a hummingbird. Eat your heart out Beyonce! lol

[upt123]

@19Yahudah Agreed, there is a real BIG difference between being a real singer or in Lalah's case a songstress versus being just an entertainer.

[OctoberLibra1]

@19Yahudah - LOL...Exactly. beYAWNcy is one of the most overrated, fakest "THINGS" to come along in music in a long time, and given a chance because she's bleached her skin and wears her wigs long and flowing like she's European while talented artist like Laylah, Ledisi and other real musicians who write and produce their own music gets no air play or time because they don't fit what the industry wants, skinny etc. I'm just glad Adele is getting her shine.

[19Yahudah]

@OctoberLibra1 lol beYAWNcy! lol smh, very true! I heard that Laylah's father was a human sacrafice @ The Dakota House In New York City..... Witches & Warlocks got in his head and.... Suicide? I dont think so.. maybe it's bes our soulful artist just lay low while we still support them! Caz they been hating us Forever, Foralways ForBlack! P.S. if you watch unsung Donny Hathaway you will see what im talking bout he didnt kill himself. They Hated & Feared he would move us mentally as a people!

[OctoberLibra1]

@19Yahudah - I did see that unsung, but I never believed he committed suicide or was paranoid schizophrenic as they claimed. What's sad is the way the industry is now & apparently it was or had always been that way on some levels, makes one wonder what has happened and why. I heard older artist Diana, and Gladys talk about how much the industry has changed & their tone was so astounding, almost scary...and I agree I love Ledisi & those artist who speak a positive message of love & life.

[MrsTarmale]

@19Yahudah Awwww how are you going to diss Bey like that? She has a beautiful voice too.

[19Yahudah]

@MrsTarmale Anita Baker, KEM, Sade, Chaka Khan, is my kinda music. Beeyonce is coming from another type of vibration not my music era. She can move but i bet she practiced for years and hours. I dont like the tone she sets for the children comin up. She is not spiritual and that's how people lose thier souls. Through Music. Thanks for the comment.. Sorry Im not a B fan. her voice is like a high pitched horn...

[MrsTarmale]

@19Yahudah Oh of course, I now where your coming from, I love all the people you just named. Sades one of my favorite singers actually. But God Bless :]

[sirevil1000]

@MrsTarmale Yeah, but when she talks she sound like me...IMMA DUDE!

[marion02201]

i have always love her father he is legendary artist nad his daughter is a legend in her own right i love them both!

[queendivatx]

[PeaceFan1]

Ok ..hold up ..wait a minute ...this is an Amazing cover of this song but I'm sorry .. NO version beats Luther's interpretation of this Gem ... and I love this song by Lalah ...she can straight up sang and God Bless her but ... again ...this is Luther's song ...xoxo

[chrlrawl11681]

One of my all time favorites. Luther was good but she is great with this song.

[pete2ful]

[newmorning59]

Baby girl you do your Daddy proud!!! Like him you touch me with your words and set the mood for making love with my woman and I say thanks once more to the Hathaway style and charm come time to serve it up with class and style. I was grooving to your Dad 40 years ago and he kept me and my lady happy in love. Thanks one more time!!!

[purplephish022778]

[lbryson12]

An Amazing rendition of this song. Not too many people can hang with Luther Vandross but Laylah made it HER OWN!!



[specmar]

... Luther who ????

[funkmex75]

damn she's a beauty ;)

[luvlvnlife]

he says he luvs the wy i am.... i'd b a fool 2 eva change.... luv luther's original version ...of course... but lalah def did her thang.... ur daddy would def b proud of the woman and singer u'v become....i remember lalah from back in the day... " heaven only knows"

[aliquippawill]

Breathtakingly Beautiful...both Lalah Hathaway AND this song! For those of you who remember.....Luther Vandross spent his entire career paying tribute to his musical peers by doing "Cover" versions of their songs....and doing it SO DAMN WELL that people occasionally mistook Luther's version for the original. This tune by Lalah represents the only occasion where an artist has taken an original composition of Luther's...and BLEW IT UP. Much respect to Lalah; this performance is magnificent!

[DaddySweet100]

@aliquippawill I agree, well said.

[MsSchucky]

she sings sooooo pretty,,,,,,,,,,,oooooowwwweee­ee !!

[1lookurhooked]

[msjaye714]

She has a such a gift. So talented.

[cream9021]

Tha best song ever she is smooth and talented just like her dad

[jackofallhayes]

I know this is borderline blasphemous...smh..but I love her version better than Luther's. *DUCKING TO DEFLECT SMACKS ON THE HEAD FROM YOU GUYS* :-) But seriously, her version has a more jazz sound, which I love.

[mitch408408]

@jackofallhayes Not taking a thing from Luther but I have to admit that Lalah puts her signature on this and makes it her own. Luther was and will always be one of the greatest crooners of all times and Lalah has made another remarkable creation from this track. I can listen to each of them over and over. RIP Mr. Vandross. Lalah keep on doing this, your talents are truly blessed! and let's not leave out this band, they deserve a most honorable mention, for they are truly laying it down!

[DaddySweet100]

@jackofallhayes LOL, I was thinking the same thing, but I wasn't brave enough to say it first. But I just want to let you know you're not along for feeling that way. Hey we can stand back to back and fight 'em off.. LOL..

[MyNameIsJade1]

I love me some Lalah Hathaway
