Lalah is truly an underrated vocalist. Her tone on this is insane! So rich and full of emotion! I really loved it! I didn't want it to end! This tribute was outstanding but Lalah's part was my favorite! Props on the arrangement too...Lalah slipped her voice slipped between the bass and the keys and it was OVER!!! Thanks a lot for posting!!
i can remember sitting on my couch, mouth DROPPED to the floor when she did this!!! I was like WHAT THE HELL!!!! She hit all kinds of notes in those runs and was NEVER out of key!!! i LOVE her vocals!!!! AMAZING!!! Somebody earlier sid it best "She is definitely her father's child!!!"
Thank you God for Donnie Hathaway and the continuation of his genes manifested in beautiful spirit and vocal magnificence known as Lalah Hathaway!!! Truly a gift for all to behold! Thank you-Thank you-Thank you!
They talk about each other the same 🎁🎁🎁 Lalah says Jazmine's voice deserves a flavor name (and hers does, too) Their voices should be 2 of the 31 flavors: Call Lalah's "Lord" and call Jaz's "have mercy" 🎁🎁
Wow! It's so encouraging to listen to Lalah! She reminds me that being an alto is awesome! You don't have to always hit super high notes to have the WOW factor! BEAUTIFUL!!!
This is what you call someone who can really "sang"...not sing but "sang"...Her talent shows thru and is so effortlessly! I would love to see her live in concert!!!
I have the honor of saying that I've seen this woman live. She's so amazing. Aaaahhhh!!! Donny may be gone, but he left this precious gem to carry on his musical legacy! :-)
Donny's girl... beautiful but brings tears to my eyes. Star in here own right but I hear her dad every time she sings and that is sad and joyous at the same time (to me).
Anita stood up at the end of that performance shaking her head in awe and I read her lips, she said: "Oh my God!". What more is there to say. Whenever I want to hear 'Angel, I come right back here to listen to Lalah's interpretation of it.
Daughter of soul yes you are baby girl now her voice is rich melted chocolate when you taste it you don't want it to go away. Lalah is bless vocals go go go girl. Anita was like hot damn lol!
Im speechless listening to this.....geez this girl is saangin,this voice right here can not be anything but the gift that comes from God,no amount of voice lessons can measure up to this,simply dynamic.
Amen! Only GOD could create the Hathaway machine. He made Donny's grandma give him gospel and made Miss Lalah give Lalah permission to go run vocally amok. She never is disrespectful. She's greatful for every performance/audience. She never says anything bad about any of the other cornballs in the industry. She's the First Daughter because not only does she personify greatness with every note, but Donny was the Obama of soul music lol, so it is what it is 🎼
Yes most of us music lovers have always been sweet on those Singers that could hit those soprano registers. Let the record show that Lalah truly paid tribute to Ms Baker by taking her time to show us what could be accomplished with the lower register. Anita, Alicia, Lalah, Rachelle and Toni all have some oomph pa pa to their voice, but no one commands it like Lalah! U go gurl!
Lord! Her voice is the TRUTH....i was in my living room standing up and shaking my head just like India! If i could REALLY sing, her instrument is what i would aim for....just...woo...give you chills!!!
I love to hear Lalah sing this, it was very nice to see this video tribute to Anita Baker just with Lalah vocals. I time to time will pull up the tribute and go right to this spot. Lalah was in her moment when she song this song. Great performance I love it every time I her it over and over again!
Goddammit That Lalah! Ooh Wee! Anita's Spirit was all up in Her Vocals on This Song.I absolutely love and adore Both Sistas Anita and Lalah.The Classic Soulful Elegant Style meets The New Vintage Gorgeous and Innovative Style of Rhythm and Blues.You can't go wrong with either Ladies.
I am so glad to see that you posted this performance. Lalah owned the stage & ran a track meet with chords & notes that most artists will never be able to touch. What a fitting tribute to Ms. Baker. Feeling this!
Lalah has to be one of the most underrated vocalists in music today, her tone is gorgeous!
CassieJazz96 Right
CassieJazz96 SUPERUNDERRATED!!!!! THATS ONE BAD SISTER!!!!!
Genes from her father
That's right
Timbre
Lol India.Arie got her LIFE at 35 seconds, she was like YESSSSS girl sing!
mmmhmmm

yes she caught the holy ghost lol
yesir

Donnie Hathaway's genes without a doubt!!
I'm just like India.Arie, I get all of my life! Hell, she should've done the whole tribute! Lalah is a musical beast!
ikr !!!!
Don't forget Marsha Ambrosius!! LOL Kristen Cox
Donny is in heaven, smiling at his baby girl. Good job, Lalah and R.I.P Mr. Hathaway.

Yesssss
OMG she went the hell in!!!! Lalah definitely holds her title as the Daughter of Soul!!!
Well Donny was Soul...so she's the shyt by default 🎁🎁
Ciarra Johnson Truth!
If he was the king, she's his perfect Princess 🎁🎁🎁
Ciarra Johnson agreed!!
Lalah is soulful!! She has her own style, but you can truly hear her Dad in the notes. Great tribute to our lady, Anita.
her voice makes me want to fall in love...

@@aaronireland3749 🤦🏿♀️ Well let me clarify: not with her 😂
She had me at that first note!
salsadancer00 amen
That ending though....😞 Lord have mercy...Lalah's control is like 😱
Her voice is the that feelings when you're eating a delicious piece of chocolate cake with a cold glass of milk...😋
😂😂😂👍👍👍
+Angel Esprit lol
So true.
LOL true
i hate milk but i agree with the chocolate cake after a plate of turnip greens, yams, macaroni, and fried chicken.
Lalah her voice in this song sounds like chocolate melting! wonderful
MsCutess RIGHT!!!!! that's it!!!
Love to see how other artists support each other! India Arie!!!
India was FEELING IT lol
When she gets to the part where she sings, "Hold me near", my knees buckle...
Damn, woman... That voice is pure honey...
Lalah is truly an underrated vocalist. Her tone on this is insane! So rich and full of emotion! I really loved it! I didn't want it to end! This tribute was outstanding but Lalah's part was my favorite!
Props on the arrangement too...Lalah slipped her voice slipped between the bass and the keys and it was OVER!!!

best vocal riffs& runs among all artists who gave tribute to anita
It's like butter baby!
Thank you God for Donnie Hathaway and the continuation of his genes manifested in beautiful spirit and vocal magnificence known as Lalah Hathaway!!! Truly a gift for all to behold! Thank you-Thank you-Thank you!
Praise Him (for that ending....the way that note trickled from her mouth)🎁🎁🎁
her tone is heavenly
This is really good. I like how she said IF I COULD, I'D GIVE YOU THE WORLD really low. Her voice is everything.
Lord have mercy! 🎁🎁🎁🎁
#DonnyHathawayForever
#AnitaMFBaker
Jasmine Sullivan reminds me of her
Yes I think that too. When I first heard her, I thought it was Jazmine just singing in her low register.
They talk about each other the same 🎁🎁🎁 Lalah says Jazmine's voice deserves a flavor name (and hers does, too)
Their voices should be 2 of the 31 flavors: Call Lalah's "Lord" and call Jaz's "have mercy" 🎁🎁
Lance Rowe a elaboration
Me too
Did any of y'all just fall in love for a couple of minutes?
Yeassss

THIS is so beautiful.... Her father passed down parts of his amazing voice to his beloved baby. (tears)
That made absolutely no sense how GREAT SHE SOUNDED...i loved when india stood up for her...yes, true inspiration!
Lalah sings runs in chord theory that most normal human beings can't even comprehend! AMAZING!!!
Wow! It's so encouraging to listen to Lalah! She reminds me that being an alto is awesome! You don't have to always hit super high notes to have the WOW factor! BEAUTIFUL!!!

Donny's girl... beautiful but brings tears to my eyes. Star in here own right but I hear her dad every time she sings and that is sad and joyous at the same time (to me).
Anita stood up at the end of that performance shaking her head in awe and I read her lips, she said: "Oh my God!". What more is there to say. Whenever I want to hear 'Angel, I come right back here to listen to Lalah's interpretation of it.
Lovin La La's version of Anita Baker's Angel!!!!!!!!!!
THIS is my come-back- to, anytime I want to FEEL music
OMG...love this woman, she is truly underated...it seems like her father's spirt channels through her when she sings...AWESOME!
Yes ‼️ GOD is amazing‼️ Lalah is holding Donny's spirit hostage
The first time I heard this , I prayed that she make an official version of her own. I hollered when she did. ❤
SC It was said Anita loved Lalah’s version, she asked her to remake the song.
Daughter of soul yes you are baby girl now her voice is rich melted chocolate when you taste it you don't want it to go away. Lalah is bless vocals go go go girl. Anita was like hot damn lol!
