    Special thanks to Kenya Hathaway for lending her vocals to this arrangement.
    THIS CHRISTMAS
    Hang all the mistletoe
    I'm gonna get to know you better
    This Christmas
    And as we trim the tree
    How much fun it's gonna be together
    This Christmas
    Fireside is blazing bright
    We're caroling through the night
    And this Christmas, will be
    A very special Christmas, for me
    Presents and cards are here
    My world is filled with cheer and you
    This Christmas
    And as I look around
    Your eyes outshine the town, they do
    This Christmas
    Fireside is blazing bright
    We're caroling through the night
    And this Christmas, will be
    A very special Christmas, for me, yeah

    This IS Kenya Hathaway. Donny Hathaway's daughter and sister to the Magnificent Lalah Hathaway. Kenya is an AMAZING voice and a AWESOME human being. Great ear!! I had the pleasure of singing with her in Boston. We both attended Berklee College of Music. I could listen to this woman ALL day. Much Love❤ KENYA.

    I had chills and goose bumps through the whole performance. Call me crazy, but if you're Lalah's daughter (which is my favorite female vocalist BTW) you look and sound just as good her. Thank you for blessing us with your voice. Donnie would be extraordinarily proud.

    • @lennywee

    Thanks a lot for this posting! Lenny, it is really a fine job and at the best time! Then, more songs with Kenya will be highly appreciated too. And please as a special favor, say to Kenya that her greatest fan in the world is a Mexican guy. It is me! With best regards!

    Both Kenya and Lalah have strong singing voices....
    Both their voices sounds like their father's voice; Kenya has subtle darkness...Lalah does her Bes-t to sound like Donny...her deep tones etc...but that nasal part and Donny accent/pronunciations she doesn't have; Kenya does have it but at a higher pitch

    • @lennywee
      @lennywee  7 років тому

      Thanks for the analysis! Both their voices are unique and amazing and Kenya is a real joy of a person to boot. You'll have to check back here soon, we might do more collabs in the very near future ;) Merry Christmas!

    • @kyralovett992
      @kyralovett992 6 років тому +1

      I love Kenya’s voice! I don’t think Lalah is trying to sound like anyone but herself. Her fathers low tones are an inheritance (attribute)that she uses very well!
