LeahTriniteeMJLuv3 I'm listening to my playlist and I was listening to Donnie and forgot that I added this one. Not looking, just listening - it literally sent chills through me. I've seen her in person in Atlanta & Oakland a few times and its always a great experience
@@tlig I have to disagree. America killed our leaders, flooded our neighborhoods with cheap drugs and guns. Burned our business and homes, forced us into impoverished neighborhoods and practically no education. Why do you think life got worse after the civil rights bill was passed?
Lalah is the absolute truth! Her father would be even more proud that she is staying true to who she is and who she is destined to be! She's a light and an inspiration and very very down to earth! I've been blessed to be in her presence and share a stage with her! Humble and grateful! Much love Lalah❤
Black Messiah oh so contralto is actually the lowest registered female voice, I just googled it learn something everyday lol I guess thats the female equivalent
This video shows children WITH fathers. Ghetto thugs need to take heed and listen to this song. Ghetto fathers need to come forward and accept responsibility for the babies that they created.
Somebody has to speak to and speak up for our generation, it takes a village to raise a child but some artists are only consumed with self. Keep doing Gods work for our people Lahlah # Donnie Hathaway in spirit
My 1st time viewing this video and I LOVE it! Our Black Men Representing!!!!! Everything has got to get better!! I loved this song from back in the 70's on her father's album!!!
I absolutely love Lalah.... we are SO fortunate to have a piece of Donny here on earth to shake our spirits just as he did... His voice was beautiful... and SHE and her voice is as well..... STL Guy, Donny!!!
And she certainly does this song justice , puts a lump in my throat listening to her and thinking how alike their voices are she certainly has inherited his voice & looks too 🙏🏻
And this is EXACTLY why I don't watch the Grammys. This is a great song, but no WAY this should have won for "best traditional R&B vocal performance" over Tyrese and "Shame."
+h3zANDRU nah, this was a sentimental favorite because she was singing her dad's song. It is a GREAT song with a powerful message, but is nowhere near on the level of "Shame" by Tyrese in the vocal performance category.
Lalah embodies the rich alto silkiness that her father the brilliant Donny Hathaway left us. Talking about passing down genes in her bloodline she captures and carries the essence of her father. You will never know the legacy of Donny Hathaway and what he gave the world of music he was the most sought after musician back in his heyday. Lalah much success to you dear,carry your father's legacy forever. I know he's so proud and smiling on you. RIP Donny Hathaway🎤🎼🎹
I love this song! Its message rings so true today in 2023! Amazing.... but like most iconic Artists/Vocalists/Instrumentalists like Donny Hathaway, they see beyond their days!!❤❤❤❤🥰🥰
U from my time We luv r time! Lala special! I really did know ur pops But I checked him after u sweatheart!! Baby baby don’t cry! Dry ur eyes!!! I luved her songs in the 90s But I luv her in 2018!!! Do ur thing beautiful!!!
Love this video & you Ms.Lalah , keep singing my beautiful song bird , WE LOVE YOU , thank you for inspiring my love & passion for music , I would sit and listen to your dad Mr.Donny Hathaway for hours , you both have such rich voices !!!!❤❤❤🎤🎤🎤🎤❤❤❤❤❤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this. ❤️ It's beautiful and deep. As a fan of her legendary father, I have always shared an admiration for Lalah. His original live version is absolutely fantastic and a hymnal in my life. This video is a tremendous tribute to a musical genius and his masterpiece. 💙🤍
Little ghetto boy, playing in the ghetto street Whatcha' gonna do when you grow up And have to face responsiblity? Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room? Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood? Little ghetto boy You already know how proud life can be 'cause you've seen so much pain and misery Little ghetto boy Your daddy was blown away He robbed that grocery store Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day? All your young life You've seen such misery and pain The world is a cruel place to live And it ain't gonna change You're so young You've got so far to go on And don't think you'll reach your goal Young man, little ghetto boy, look at you Little ghetto boy When, when, when you become a men You can make things change if you just take the stand You gotta believe it yourself in all you do You've gotta fight to make it better Then you will see how others will start believing to Then, my son, things will start to get better Everything has got to get better, Everything has got to get better
It's frightening how much she sounds like her father. Her voice is like red wine, dark chocolate, and velvet.
yassssss
Good ear!
I agree!
She is special!!
LeahTriniteeMJLuv3 I'm listening to my playlist and I was listening to Donnie and forgot that I added this one. Not looking, just listening - it literally sent chills through me. I've seen her in person in Atlanta & Oakland a few times and its always a great experience
Sounds like Apothic Red
She has her Fathers spirit in her. You can feel him through her and I'm sure she feels it too...Wow!
She deserved that Grammy.
what's frightening is how much life has NOT changed since Donny wrote this song decades ago.
That's cos people just talk about how bad things are without even trying to make them better.
@@tlig true
@@tlig I have to disagree. America killed our leaders, flooded our neighborhoods with cheap drugs and guns. Burned our business and homes, forced us into impoverished neighborhoods and practically no education. Why do you think life got worse after the civil rights bill was passed?
I love the fact that she revisits her Dad’s music and that she shares in his low, raspy voice and inflections.
Donny Hathaway lives thro his daughter Lalah....
RIH....
Lalah is the absolute truth! Her father would be even more proud that she is staying true to who she is and who she is destined to be! She's a light and an inspiration and very very down to earth! I've been blessed to be in her presence and share a stage with her! Humble and grateful! Much love Lalah❤
She has that low barritone like her father i love it
I agree!
+Greg C But she's a woman which makes it THAT much more impressive! But they sound just alike, it's mind-blowing!
Greg C It's called Contralto bruh...
Black Messiah oh so contralto is actually the lowest registered female voice, I just googled it learn something everyday lol I guess thats the female equivalent
Most people see Mr Donny Hathaway, but I see Lalah Hathaway too. Don't forget Lalah.
This video shows children WITH fathers. Ghetto thugs need to take heed and listen to this song. Ghetto fathers need to come forward and accept responsibility for the babies that they created.
He never died, He still lives❤
Thank you mama Hathaway ❤
Lalah is Keeping the, Hathaway Name, Alive!!!!
Lalah Hathaway just like your father Donny Hathaway I love your music and your voice God bless you
Somebody has to speak to and speak up for our generation, it takes a village to raise a child but some artists are only consumed with self. Keep doing Gods work for our people Lahlah # Donnie Hathaway in spirit
Do you have any idea how powerful this is as a black man for a black woman to be singing this 😢
My 1st time viewing this video and I LOVE it! Our Black Men Representing!!!!! Everything has got to get better!! I loved this song from back in the 70's on her father's album!!!

Sis is amazing....
SHE JUST WON A GRAMMY
And this is EXACTLY why I don't watch the Grammys. This is a great song, but no WAY this should have won for "best traditional R&B vocal performance" over Tyrese and "Shame."
+ranhill you are tripping.
+h3zANDRU nah, this was a sentimental favorite because she was singing her dad's song. It is a GREAT song with a powerful message, but is nowhere near on the level of "Shame" by Tyrese in the vocal performance category.
she won one this tear too :)
@@ranhill 😂😂😂
The video is deep, the words are deep, and of course Lalah is always on point.

My radio just blessed me with this gem.
Lalah embodies the rich alto silkiness that her father the brilliant Donny Hathaway left us.
Talking about passing down genes in her bloodline she captures and carries the essence of her
father. You will never know the legacy of Donny Hathaway and what he gave the world of music
he was the most sought after musician back in his heyday.
Lalah much success to you dear,carry your father's legacy forever. I know he's so proud and smiling on you.

Little ghetto boy, playing in the ghetto street
Whatcha' gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsiblity?
Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room?
Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood?
Little ghetto boy
You already know how proud life can be
'cause you've seen so much pain and misery
Little ghetto boy
Your daddy was blown away
He robbed that grocery store
Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day?
All your young life
You've seen such misery and pain
The world is a cruel place to live
And it ain't gonna change
You're so young
You've got so far to go on
And don't think you'll reach your goal
Young man, little ghetto boy, look at you
Little ghetto boy
When, when, when you become a men
You can make things change if you just take the stand
You gotta believe it yourself in all you do
You've gotta fight to make it better
Then you will see how others will start believing to
Then, my son, things will start to get better
Everything has got to get better,
Everything has got to get better
voice sounds like buttery sand paper....mmm
she has a new remix with snoop
who's the dude with her at the beginning..seen him in many films
Affion Crockett. He's a comedian.
Lalah sounds *sooo* much like her father sometimes.
P.S. She looks 20 years younger than she is!
