I was going to say that but you got it.

There's a reason this won Lalah that first Grammy. She's da bomb!

YES! Lalah Hathaway is an absolute legend! She's known for her ability to sing overtones. She has such insane control over it too! They won a Grammy for this performance, and I feel bad for the other nominees because they didn't stand a chance.

Imagine having Snarky Puppy as your backup band... actually, imagine Snarky Puppy having LALAH HATHAWAY AS THEIR SINGER! Booooyyy...

wow. being in thst room would be an amazing opportunity. I would do anything to be there for one of these. I saw them live once, but most of the audience seemed to be there to party and not listen (which is ok i guess), but folks were talking over some of the most standout musical moments. I think a lot of their fans go for the funk, but aren't trained to understand the jazz. glad they have all the fans they've got though, I ain't haitin'. I would just prefer to hear them in that kind of intimate setting so I can hear everything that's going on.

My girlfriend in college had Donnie Hathaway Live on vinyl in college. She's my wife.

In case people don’t quite understand why the band was freaking out and the drummer got up out of his seat at the end. Lalah has the ability to do overtone singing which means she can sing more than one note at a time. She was singing THREE..... THREE notes at once and they were all in the same key as the song. She is incredibly skilled beyond comprehension.

I'm so happy that you reacted to this ❤️ Lala Hathaway is phenomenal. I'm not sure if you know this but Ms Hathaway is the daughter of the great Donnie Hathaway. The way Lala can sing overtones is something that is unique and rare in most singers. That was what made the drummer jump out of his seat and everyone else so excited. I think that maybe you didn't hear it or that you weren't sure of what you had just heard. Great reaction ❤️

I am so happy you reacted to this fabulous video. Wow, every time I hear it's brand new. Ms. Hathaway is a rare treasure o be certain and Snarky Puppy is an exquisite band for her to launch into her vocal stratosphere. I truly love this track. Her father was such a gifted vocalist and one of my favorites from him is a duet he performed with Roberta Flack called "I who have nothing". The Album from 1972 on Atlantic Records was called Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. It is a wonderful album filled with incredible treasures like "Where is the love" and "For all we know".

These videos truly fill me with Joy bro , enjoy seeing you get the same enjoyment that i get from these amazing songs. thank you.

It's called polyphonic singing. Amazing.

She's something else isn't she. She is.

I saw Snarky Puppy in Dallas years ago. Every player is top notch.

This performance was her first Grammy win. Amazing talent and one of my favorite artists...

One of the great performances of all time!

She's amazing! I've never heard anyone singing chords before. I also love the one with Lucy Woodward - she's brilliant too:)

When you start getting into jazz you are swimming toward the deep end of the ocean. Using the voice to mimic an instrument is a standard jazz thing called scat. I love funk and jazz, and really like funky jazz and jazzy funk. Thank you for playing these, I stumbled onto Cory Henry (the keyboard player) a couple of days ago because I'm a fan of JAM IN THE VAN on youtube. Snarky Puppy was in parenthesis after Cory Henry's name. I just looked at the wiki article on Snarky Puppy before watching them for the first time with two of your videos. It's hilarious that the guy who put Snarky Puppy together said he wasn't a good enough player to get into any of the music ensembles when he was a college at North Texas, so he had to start his own music group of 10 players in order to be able to play himself. There have been 40 different players in Snarky Puppy over the years, including a core of 6 who have been there from the start. Many of them went to college at North Texas. Now I'm going to listen to a lot more of Snarky Puppy. Thanks for introducing me to this group!

She has her daddy's beautiful vocal tone and sense of timing (the great Donny Hathaway!) and so much more. For someone who lost that parent to suicide so young - he was 32 I think, and she had to be under 10 years old - she has done far more than merely survive... She has built a beautiful life and calling for herself and we are blessed to simply bask in her glory.

When the music starts and Lalah goes "Mmmmmm" you need to know some shit finna go down!

Very nice. Sort of look-at-the-inside-of-your-eyelids and let your mind drift kind of music. Just the right amount of jazz.

She not only tri-toned it, she did it with a beautiful vibrato. Man, Donny you did alright! Please don’t say she’s better than her dad cuz that’s gonna piss me off. Let’s just enjoy each one’s gifts. It’s not a contest. Peace and Music

Technically Donny Hathaway was sitting down on a piano vocally slaying songs live. To me, there is no competition, especially between a father and daughter, without Donny there's no Lala. Now that I think about it, Donny was only alive for 33 years, yet his voice was just slightly more developed than Lala's was in her younger years. Sadly we'll never see those two on a stage 😔

At the 18th of september 2021 I will see & hear miss Hathaway with the incredible Metropole Orchestra. Snarky Puppy is great, but our Dutch proud Metropole Orchestra will lift her to another level.

You like that voice....watch her vid fro the Forever, For Always, For love. Also she did a nice stop on the Tom Joyner radio show. Amazing voice like her dad.

Love the runs👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍😍😍 so good

She could sing me to sleep every night

If you like this then please please please check out other Family Dinner performances especially those of Snarky Puppy with Becca Stevens or with David Crosby. Actually, Becca and David both met for the first time at that recording session and instantly had a musical connection and together with Snarky Puppy bass player and Michelle Willis (who was also at the Family Dinner Vol. 2 session) formed an acoustic band which they dubbed The Lighthouse Band after the album they made together. Here they are performing Joni Mitchell's song Woodstock (which Crosby already had interpreted as apart of Crosby Stills Nash, but here the vocal performances are on a whole other level): kzread.info/dash/bejne/fqRpy6yAf6u1nLw.html
