D*MN! It doesnt get any better than this! Wooff Lalah! So sexy and powerfull! Amazing, amazing. She truly is a great songwriter (when my life was low, wooff) and as a singer one of the best around today. Truly It doesnt get any better than this. And that band...thumbs up! Lalah should be performing in Holland! We are waiting man!
This is my Girl.. I love Lalah.. Beautiful voice, range, and lyrics... huh.. i wish all music was as nice and simple as this... Good Job. I wished I was there.
Never get's old!!!!! Thanks for keeping this post up. . . I discovered it in the summer of '08 on my summer vacation. I haven't had much time to spend on youtube lately, but I'm so glad that I can still groove to this jam. This is not a gospel track; however, God is most def love and I feel His presence when I listen to this song. The passion of the lyrics combined with the gentleness in Lalah's tone accompanied by the strength of her lower register. . .WOW! Truly a blessing!
Just ridiculous...loved it the 1st time, will love it.This is grown folks music at its best, thx 4 for being true,Lalah, cause I feel u grl...such a talented blessing to the world!!!!!!!
@ Quartermaine11: It's her song. That is...she didn't write it, but she was the first and (far as I know) the only artist to cut it. Came out in '90 so you might have heard the original track since then and not known who it was.
Here is a challenge to anyone who reads this....i dare you to find another female that is as smooth as Lalah is, other than Anita. If you know of one that is younger...you will have to search far and wide.
I give up. There is no...NOT ONE WHO COMPARES!!! I wish she would sing in my wedding for free or the cheap..we are balling on a budget! I might just put this on the screen and walk down th aisle...its so amazing!
I just was telling my friends how I plan to have Lalah perform at my wedding ceremony and reception.... no matter the cost, the budget will go for her presence first. I am not even engaged to anyone at this time. But I want this for my wedding and I know that if nothing else. Beautiful Vocalists and she is such a kind, Beautiful Person. No one compares!!
I can't believe I've slept on Lalah so long. Her voice is crazy this girl got madd skillz. I can listen to her sing all day. It's nothing like hearing someone who sounds better live than they do in studio and they already sound great on cd.
I remember and liked her from when she first released that song that had the MOP TOP dancers in the video. I wished HIP HOPPERS continued to dress similar to that instead of looking like something thug like.
This is my JAAAAAMMMMMM! I love Lalah's voice; God has blessed her with an awesome gift. I found this live version this summer & I never get tired of hearing it. I played it over & over again the first time I heard it; it brought tears to my eyes! I've been hooked on Lalah since elementary school. . .hadn't heard her in years & I'm so glad that I found her once again. She reminds me so much of her daddy. . .I'm sure he'd be very proud. "Summer breeze makes me feel fine!"
This is happy music. This is the music that makes us dream and strive and be encourage to endure our mistakes and regrets. This reminds us what good love feels like . Only a person that knows this can communicate through song this way...and then be brilliant enough to have Lalah sang it (not sing...sang) dang it !
I am loving all of her music.....Where did she perform this song? Is this a popular place jazz artist perform at.....such as Norman Brown, hill st. soul and others.
Suedsoulnatl---Thanks for educating the masses. There is truly nothing new under the sun. I will say that Layla did this song justice. If you are going to remake something make it better. Thanks for the history lesson.
Did anybody know that Vesta Williams recorded this song first as an import bonus track?...Don't believe me?...Do a youtube search and/or beyond...u'll find it!!...ur welcomed in advance for this insite..lol
I love her voice. It's so jazzy yet soulful. She makes singing soud easy. Also, although it's been said many times, her tone is a gift from her father.
Tymespan1, you have brought such great joy to my heart by posting this song. I'm such a fan of Lalah. I think she's as much a musical genius as her Lengendary Dad was. Even saying, "Thank you so very, very, very much", feels so inadequate. But, I guess it'll just have to do.
I'm not on YouTube so so much. But, when I am, I listen to this atleast 3 or more times. I know being at there in person that day had to be THE BEST!!! Take good care. And, may God bless.
This is perfection! Lalah is truly an overlooked songstress. I never miss her when she comes to Washington, DC. I love this sista! She sings to your mind, body and soul
I am a Layla Hathaway FANatic! I knew my husband was "the one" when on our first date he asked me who my favorite artist was and I said "oh this singer you probably don't know" and he proceeded to sing highlights of all her cd's...God gave him to me-she confirmed it! LOL
Lalah has been my "secret love" for a long time now (my wife is cool with it though...smile). Vocally, she is so relaxed and fre--yet controlled--with a touch of feminine elegance that makes a person pay attention and offer utmost respect. Ms. Hathaway is...I'm just speechless. Keep singing, girl; it does the heart good. Come to Chicago soon!!!
I can NEVER grow tired of hearing her lovely rich and refined voice or experiencing her serene and sureal presence. She is beautiful in EVERY WAY!!! whew!!! Her voice caresses and captivates me.
she's the beat. I love this song. Even as a young child listening to this song as a child when it first came out It stuck with me, and now that im 25 it rates up there with one of her best songs.
Lalah Hathaway is my all time favorite female vocalist....hands down..God Bless Her!! Lyrics like this inspire people to be great and care about others......
I just LOVE Ms. Hathaway!!!!! She sounds great on record and even better live and unlike some more notorious divas. She has taken very good care of her God given pipes! Viva La Lalah
Do me a favor: Push play, close your eyes & listen. This song is captivating, silky and smooth. Get in the groove and let your mind take you away ;)
(Did your head sway back and forth? Did you rock side to side and smile just a little? I know you did. Laylah takes you away and puts you in another world). Now this is what pure love feels like.
(Words really can't describe this experience. You just have to be a part of it to understand).
Oh this is great. I wonder why she doesn't get the air time she deserves? She's fantastic!! Such a smooth voice. I'm about to go buy all the CD's I can find.
Wow. Lalah is so comforting! I agree. This song is a classic. She just keeps you captivated and puts you inside of the groove. I can listen to this song 200 more times! I think I will :)
This just goes to prove that the APPLE never falls too far from the TREE. I am sure that her father, the late great Donny Hathaway is smiling down on his precious girl-child. GENETICS...you just can't beat them. What a voice she has.
Thanks for this CLIP!!! You have got to re-title this so that people know what it is,I know it would have more views. "Im Coming Back" off the first CD. This is one of the illest songs that she has done. The way her voice melts on the melody is crazy!!! I had to sing after her once-too much pressure!!!!! You can make a baby on this song
You are also very welcome,Lalah is comming to London to perform with the Daughters of soul at my theatre and i just had the chance to meet her in Norway as she came to perform at the Northen Lights festival and she was so divine and special person.Really one on the nicesest people i have meet in the industry.
