On March 8th, 2013, Snarky Puppy and a host of special guests convened at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke VA. The project was to record a series of live performances in audio and video that would bring attention and benefit to the ongoing work of the center. The Jefferson Center is a non-profit arts organization that is revitalizing a key neighborhood in Roanoke with the restoration of Jefferson High School and the renovation of the Shaftman Performance Hall. The hall brings world class music to the local community through the Music Lab, providing education and recording space for local children.
The Music Lab at Jefferson Center is working daily to pull from every social and economic class of the Roanoke community and create the next wave of real, human musicians. They host low cost or free after-school programs for any interested young people filled with visits by guest artists, private instrumental instruction, and recording training. Wafting out of the little studios and rehearsal rooms on the third floor of Jefferson Center, you can hear Afro-beat in Swahili, hip-hop in Liberian Kreyol, the blues coming from the guitar of a 13 year-old prodigy, and the undeniable sound of young musicians growing. It's a thing that needs to be supported at all costs across this country, and by purchasing this record, you've done it.
A portion of every sale will go to the Music Lab at Jefferson Center.

This performance won a Grammy. The world is beginning to make sense again...
Andrew Justus well deserved...but this kind of music doesn’t get radio play...it’s sad😔
hahaha its still a long way back tho... but im glad to know this
Mark Skaggs I agree
IKR THANK FUCK
@@langtryvlogme What kind of stupid comment is that???
that moment at 6:25 when the band comes back in jamming twice as hard as before because their minds have just been blown is amazing :D
Drummer came back drummin
all smiles!
Heck yeah
LoL I LOVE that part!
Look at Corey skankin' like a mofo at 6:46 hahahah
Lalah: *splits her voice in two*
Backup singers: are we a joke to you
She does that a lot .. I wasn't impressed with it. It sounds demonic. However, that's what makes her music unique.
This comment😂😂
@@michellec.4994 you had one job. To get the joke.😂😂
I've seen her live performance....I get the jokes....not impressed!!
@@michellec.4994 I understand that it's not your personal cup of tea, but the technical vocal prowess to sing a CHORD is nothing short of astounding. Sure, you don't like it, but "impressive" is a term meaning "evoking admiration through skill" and if you can't admire the skill on display here, I feel sorry for you.
When you make an entire room of accomplished musicians go wild, you have made it.
Lalah's pedigree is insane, not to diminish her incredible talent. If you haven't already, check out her dad's incredible work. And if you have, sorry for suggesting the obvious. :)
@@dtsdigitalden5023her dad is donny hathaway right? apparently being inhumanely good at music is in her dna
I know they got Grammy for this, but even Grammy seems like underappreciation
Still speechless
Seriously
I mean she has range, scats, and DOUBLE TONES?!?! I just can't!
I cannot
im a scatting man
She really should be in regular rotation
Isn't that TRIPLE tones?
@@longebane it is indeed 3 notes, she sings chords
Let me get this straight. Split her voice to harmonize with HERSELF. Moved with fluid ease from baritone to the top of the soprano scale. It's over. Mediocrity has taken over the music industry and it's an injustice. I'm not hating on anyone's style, I'm just saying make room for everybody. It is a crime that this does not have 100+M views. This is the baddest I've seen.
Jazzy Moni when I tell you I literally had to pause the video so my brain could compute what she had done and what I just heard. I was looking around dumbfounded. I couldn't believe she had just done that, and live nonetheless.
Styl849 Right!! LOL...I actually hit the rewind to see if I really heard what I thought I did. That is one of the dopest things to ever hit TH-cam. She is so underrated.
Im sitting in freakin Starbucks grinning like crazy looking and listening to that! OMFG!
Literally gave me chills
Jazzy Moni exactly
Multiphonic overtone?? Let me just harmonize with myself!! Whatchu say nigh! This is why she is my favorite artist. Just brilliant!!!
Think about this man, These guys and gals are professional Jazz musicians that travel the world and vibe with some of the best musicians world fucking wide and yet they were still all jumping out of their seats like a bandmate did something amazing at garage band practice for what this woman had just done. These musicians have probably seen it all and yet still her vocal was fucking mind blowing for them. Truly phenomenal vocalist.
Amen...🎁🎁
well said
Michael Jordan jump shot over Ehlo Family!!
That's just another way GOD shows himself 🎁🎁
+Christian Cooper I completely agree, but if you watch other Snarky Puppy videos one of the great things is their evident enthusiasm. A lot of the time they look like they're on the verge of high-fiving after someone pulls off a particularly cool solo
young..... She just harmonized... with herself *mind blown*
its called polyphonic singing
Jalen Williams it’s not that hard
B Lewis I wanna hear you do it then
B Lewis You’re joking
@@sheonmybingbong if you think its so easy i would really like to hear you do it
Lalah isn't just singing.
She keeps her father's legacy alive.
*Respect.*
PERIODT
wait, she's the daughter of Donny Hathaway???? LMAO I can't believe I never realized that
@@dmb555 😂😂
Very proud of her we can be sure of that :)
@@pvibez DAMN RIGHT
9 years later and I still get the same chills I had the first time I heard this masterpiece. Classic.
EVERY. TIME.
Facts 💯
Same!!
Me too!!!! And I always have to replay it at least 3 times. ❤❤❤
YES! This is pure brilliance
I don’t think most people understand or appreciate what she did. The musicians and the singers absolutely do. It sounded like she split her vocal cords and sung two different notes at the same time. Simply amazing!!!!
THREE notes at the same time.
I know it sounds good to the amateur ear too. I don’t know what they’re talking bout
@@N0B0DY_SP3C14L Yo I actually know a bit about this. It's to do with the relationship between harmonic overtones. The interplay between 2 overtones can create a third 'phantom' overtone which doesn't actually have a fundamental. This technique is used quite a bit in drum and bass music to create movement in bass parts by detuning the oscillators. doing so creates a third tone which is outside of the human frequency range and is thus perceived as silence and gives a bassline movement. What Lalah is doing here is creating a phantom frequency between the 2 notes which she is singing which is FUCKING INSANE. Like jeeeeeeesus I can't stop watching this it's so amazing that I actually got a bit overwhelmed and cried a little
@@georgechadwick8642 Is there a name for what she is doing?
@@kwamezulushabazz Polyphonic singing 😁
5:50 - 6:30 These are top of the line musicians, and still they are awe of Lalah's vocals.
exactly
Of course she's a Hathaway
Bass Guitar Riff Why wouldn’t they be?
That's real talent. My daughter who's really into music heard this and came running into my room. She made me play it back like 5 times so she could catch the notes. She said this was amazing and it was!
This woman has an amazing gift.
People: "You can't sing chords."
Lala Hathaway: "Hold my beer."
... Iida-kun?
I LOVE YOUR PFPPPP
More like hold my tea. Lol
Hahaha that’s what I was thinking 😂
People: "Aight, i'mma head out"
Its been 8 years and I'm still coming back...simply can't get enough..🙏🏾❤
I'm with you!
Same
I’m still coming back too to enhance my mood sometimes😊
Oh my goodness. I said the SAME thing.😂
Yes!!!!!
What's so wrong about her Grammy win is that Something is a centerpiece on her first/second album over 20 years ago. It took Snarky Puppy and their larger audience to get the masses hip to Lalah, when in reality, she's had a cult following among Jazz and R&B lovers since 1989. That Grammy win was long, long overdue.
That final time she harmonized with herself and it fit right in that chord change... 😳🙈
I didn't even know that she could do that until this performance. Now I'm fucking depressed lmao
Bruh yes...smh my goodness!!!
That freaked me out 😱
Omg i was finna say this but you did for me BROOO SHOOK IS UNDERSTATEMENT🙌🙌🙌
I truly feel those are the spirit notes (grace notes) god gave her its to UNWORDLY .
its real serious when a drummer gets off the set.
Right! Lol
Right bruh I'm just speechless right now .....
Daiquan Fox "off his seat" is what you wanted to write, i guess... ;-)
Kaktus Kastl I'm pretty sure he meant set. Because I guess he wasn't mentioning his seat, but his drum set... Drummers NEVER leave their drum set during a performance...
Yep, he meant set. The drum set.
I absolutely love when the musicians are in awe of what they're hearing while delivering some soul vibrating melodies themselves, praise the Lord for the talents!
I prefer to praise the people themselves
Amen.
AMÉM! Bom gosto é pra todos mas infelizmente, poucos de fato têm.
I watch this at least once a week for the sake of my mental health.
Shenea Ophelia i agree me too
Shenea Ophelia everyday for me
Shenea Ophelia haaaa love this comment!!!
You are not alone Shenea!
Great idea! My Goodness!
When she harmonized that chord with her self during the scats and the drummer got up almost running away😊 makes me smile uncontrollably, every single time I replay that part. Talented soul indeed.
E não é qualquer baterista em questão;
Este aí é o "ROBERT SPUT" que de quebra ainda é ex-batera do TÓNEX, e atualmente diretor musical da Jams Zildjian e Jams Vic Firth, e impressionar um cara técnico ao extremo como esse não é trabalho fácil.
Me, every time I watch it having the audacity to try it! When I know I cannot sing!
That's why you don't play with Lalah. Donnie left us a gift AND she's humble!
She is a humble human being but very cocky w/ her voice n I love her 4 it. She knows she's bad....😑🤣
She's a sweetheart.
Somebody said he's the second voice when she does that thing and now i can't unhear it
I’m still here in 2024. Roll call!
Yes, Chile, Whenever I need a pick-me-up, I look for this video. It still gives me goosebumps, like it did the first time I viewed it.
😀Here! Here!
Just came back to visit
Here again! Still a classic after 10 years!
Present!!!
i always knew she was dangerous but at 6:11 she displayed a vocal assassin
Yes did you see the other musician's faces.
dat shit just made me cry
how tF did she do that??
SHE SO DAGGONE GOOD I STARTED LAUGHING FOR NO REASON!!!!
She must've been made in a lab to do that with her voice..C'MON!
So hold the hell up. We just splittin our voices now? That don't even make no kinda sense. How can you be that talented? omfg
LOL I know. Right?!
Marcus Sewell She hasn't split her voice, but has instead found a way to make her overtones more prominent as to be heard through the main tone as well. We all have them, but Lalah has managed to make it heard. A feat few have ever accomplished.
Shoutout to the organ player for keeping it together when everyone else died at the same time. EDIT: his name is Cory Henry. Thank you everyone, especially for the 1K likes!!
Right!!!😂😂😂
exactly
Lmao🤣
She's actually following him, musically speaking. It's an amazing conversation between the musicians there
lmaoo
Mannnn I still cry off this, especially when they start playing harder. It’s like a confirmation to their art
Me: yeah I sing well
Lalah: *sings a chord
Me: Ima go teach kindergarten
Honestly even without that she is just extraordinary, the tone, the range, great ear, great style. Rachelle Ferrell is her friend and a fan, that tells you everything you need to know!
😂😂😂😂😂Right,make nejust wanna keep being a nurse. 😒
Terrel brought me here💯💯💯.... Lalah killed me here 💀😆
SAMEEEE
Yagurlkeee yessssss
Terrel who?
Andrea Harris type in the Terrell show on TH-cam and get ur LIFEEEE! 🙌 you won’t regret it!
I've straight up never heard vocal multiphonics before. Ever. I'm amazed, I kinda thought they were impossible. Mind=Blown.
There's actually a monk that performs with Bela Fleck and they sing like this all the time. His name is Ondar Kongar-ol. It's call Throat Singing. Check out 1:29 on this video th-cam.com/video/FXPR-n9_OM8/w-d-xo.html
Tom Waits had a video several years back where he had a similar vocal technique. I don't remember the song, but I believe it was a B&W video, on MTV or VH1.
Jon Michael Swift look for polyphonic singing, there are even some tutorials out there ;)
Bobby McFerrin, 2:20 in this vid th-cam.com/video/codmxk7uLv8/w-d-xo.html
David Lee Roth in his younger days could sing multiple octaves..
not as prominent, however in the song "Somebody get me a doctor".. he does it a lot... check it out::
No disrespect to Lalah Hathaway, SHE"S AWESOME!! ,, there's only a handful of people in this world that can do that
and DLR was one of them..
So many instances of just how special my people are.
Sweet Jesus, the gifts in this room.
stylecollective NO BULLSHIT !!!!!! True gifts
stylecollective Amen
I like presents!
*The practice hours in this room
That bass player being happy for his guitarist friend finally feeling the groove of the universe made me smile.
Omg same🤣
The entire vibe changed. After she sang those cords, they went in extra hard
@@moniquebrown3093 you felt that too, huh?
Anybody else keep coming back just to die and get revived? This is a priceless work of art. I can't get enough.
Cynthia Smith yes 2019 die and had to be revived 😭🤗
yes, ma'am ... i visit this video on a regular ... incomparable !!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
imma old-head, and i remember this song from the 90's ... it was gr8 back then, but this iz a rebirth unlike any that i've heard in the course of remaking a song ...
if she wasn't celebrated in the past, she has totally achieved a celebration of epic proportionz
big upz to MzHathaway 👍👍👍😉😉😉
tranquility ✌
wl
The joy she brings to the rest of the band is a palpable thing as is the respect they give her. A magical moment…
This is sort off what I could find out about the chords she sings.
6:13 Ab min/Eb
6:15 Bb min/F
6:20 Eb min/Bb
6:25 A (sus)2
But every time I think I hear more notes coming out. Probably also because she uses these beautiful glissandos getting into the chords. Love the reaction of the band! 😱😃
I don´t think those are harmonics, more like multi-phonics, what some people call "diads" which are a clean, tuned way to break a note into two
those are for wind instruments, by the way. I'd never heard them in a singer
Héroe sin capa !
CreaMundi qq
well technically, the voice is a wind instrument. ;)
She should get paid just because of her existence, this is literally breathtaking.
What I love about Snarky Puppy comments is that it's refreshing to see that the world doesn't merely consist of trolls, faceless cowards, and evil souls. You can regain not only your hope in music but also in humanity.
Music is the Key to Life💪🏾
Yessir. Civilized folks come here....
I see man of culture
You must have written this before covid gripped humans by the brain & keeps squeezing
I totally forgot about this beautiful song !!!! Still resonates in 2024.
My girl kills the scat improv then comes out with the dual tones!? Sttttaapp!! ugh! I'm angry. My vibe face during the groove section was real stank!
Scattin’ 4:59 to 6:35
6:13 to 6:27 is her unique scat ❤️
They start Jammin out hard body at 6:36
Terrell brought me here 🤸🏾♀️👑💕🥰🐍
Girl u a life saver. I love u
Vanessa Mutale No problem ! Lol
Thanks girl
Sameeeeee!! Thank u!!
6:13 is Self harmony
I used to think "vocal chords" was just a typo...
Whoa, I never even realised
She put that last split on those chords like, "for all ya'll thinking you're not hearing what you just heard - TAKE THAT!". This is my bestie in my head. Spiritual Experience!
they started playing for their lives after she hit them notes
Brian Fender-Shirley
😁GOD put 🔥 under everyone's asses
Brian Fender-Shirley lol right. Percussionist at 6:40 had me crackin up
Brian Fender-Shirley right!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
IKR
Brian Fender-Shirley right?!
6:13, 6:16, 6:20, & 6:25 = my mind is blown !! Dual tones coming from her throat at a proper interval? How, wait.. WHAT??
Sorry for that but I am speechless. Amazing control. I was just turned on to SP a week ago and I can not get over how incredible and talented these guys are.. Makes me want to practice more, or sell my guitars !!
Here is what I found.. "I've asked people on Facebook and Twitter how they [think I] do this vocally, and [haven't] gotten one taker." [source: www.grammy.com/news/the-making-of-lalah-hathaway-and-snarky-puppys-something ]
Wow.
Welcome to the snarky club. It's really anyone with good taste who hears the band. I hope you've got bitten hard with the bug too! There's so much good material on the internet for this band. I may say I'm most into Quarter Master, but that's only what it is today...
Mongolian multi-toned throat singing. Look it up! I think she was using a similar technique, it sounded like that a little bit.
PatrickDAllen1 If you are referring to 'overtone singing' I believe you are not correct. overtones are usually much higher pitch than the root, and it takes quite some overtones to get to the interval she sings the last. I may be wrong. :) good music nevertheless
Filip Korošec I took a class on Southeast Asian music and we talked about overtone singing in regards to Tuvan Throat Singing. The overtones produced can be all over the spectrum, so it is a similar technique
Lalah is a magical creature. That drummer was all of our reactions to her!!
I don't think I've ever in the history of looking at TH-cam. Have I rewinded one part so much!!
Y'ALL CANNOT TELL ME THIS A'INT ONE OF THE BADDEST OUT!! YES ALL CAPS FOR A REASON!!! I'M AT WORK HOLLERING
6:25 when the band came back in tho!!!!!!!😫😫😫😫😫😫 That was nashty!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The exit of Lalah's solo where the heavy groove drops back in gets my emotions every time. Man.
Hell yes!!! I can’t stop listening that part again and again! A magnificent explotion of emotions and harmony!
Folks don’t forget the incredible singer/songwriter Brenda Russell who originally sang and wrote this song (and Snarky/Lalah put this ill arrangement on it). Brenda Russell also wrote “Get Here” (made popular by Oleta Adams) and “Piano in the Dark”. Much respect!
True! It was a cover that Lalah did on her debut in 1990.
I appreciate you knowing this about The one and only master song writer, arranger, producer, vocalist and performer along with capabilities of playing many instruments piano, harmonica, banjo, and guitar just to name a few!!!! Ms Russell is an immense powerhouse talent!!! Jazzz blues rock r&b pop soul and dance and yes country!!!!! Her work as score writer for The Color Purple and others besides Oprah like How Stella got Her Groove Back for example, the list is extremely extraordinary and rich!!! Luther Vandross, Diana Ross, Oleta Adams, Earth Wind and Fire, Phil Perry, Carole King, Neil Sedaka, Elton John, The Master just as talented as her friend and sister Brenda, there is again The one and only Patrice Rushen, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Donna Summer, Joni Mitchell, Sheila E, to name a few!!! She has been covered and sampled by Baby Face, Oleta Adams, Luther Vandross, Patii Austin, Ruben Studdard, Ramsey Lewis, Janet Jackson,Tupac Shakur, Chance The Rapper, Thaila , Flo Rida, Ariana Grande and Still not a player, Big Pun!!!! People need to know of her Greatness!!!! The music industry is not good at doin their do diligence at letting people know of musical phenomenons like Brenda Russell!!! Then again a lot of what is produced to in the music industry is crap 💩 dodo periodddddd!!! Big ups and Royal Salute to the Queen of whatever she wants to be Queen Brenda Russell👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🎶🎶🎶💖✨🙏🏾✨
Oh damn I didn't know. Hell of a writer!
the energy after the split was phenomenal
That's her and her Dad Mr. DONNY HATHAWAY HARMONIZING IN HER THROAT! 👑 it has to be... its a hi and low tones simultaneously! 🛎🙏🏽
lmao! right!
Beautiful explanation
That’s sooo good!!! I agree perfection
@@samuelhinshelwoodjr 💯
@@fulllifeliberation8352 💯
They came back extra hard after hearing and witnessing this extraordinary talent.
BUT! That was part of the arrangement! These guys know what they are doin'!
Her voice woke my musician husband out of his sleep.... I'm wearing headphones.
The dual tones. I felt my chest burst out of my body. So amazing!
***** I can see how it's not a big deal to some. But when I heard this, I was home alone, with my headphones blasting, and I was totally into the whole feel of the whole song. I felt like I was there and I was having fun with the band. Just a personal experience. The first couple of them seem to be warm-ups, but the last two were great; I laughed and smiled like if I were actually there, especially after the drummer gets off his set. I'm a drummer, so I know that it's hard for something to get you off the stool like that. It's also hard to give undivided attention to things sometimes and we're always distracted by so much. I think that's why so many people aren't impressed by anything anymore.
Jeremy Daccarett I felt it too! I was impressed by her effortless scatting / improvisational chops. It was like I was listening to a jazz instrumentalist, rather than a vocalist. That section at 6:02, where it sounded like she was double-tonguing the notes, had me smiling. But yeah, when she did that "dual tone" self-harmonizing, my mind was positively blown. The ease of Lalah's performance disguises the overall difficulty and depth of her artistry and talent.
***** you realize she sang a CHORD... right? Crazy rare ability.
***** oh..."I'm a musician"..."I compose". Salty, stuck-up people like you are the reason why the internet is a terrible place. All of us are musicians. And apparently (obviously), we appreciate more than you do. It definitely doesn't sound as good as two people striking a chord, but she is ONE person. When you have someone with a rare ability performing in front of you and you hear that through your in-ears, I'm sure it's incredibly impressive enough to react just how they reacted. People today need to go back to being impressed instead of just saying everything is "NBD". I get what you're saying, but I don't really think you need to voice your displeasure in response to someone else's praise. If someone says they like your drumming, I'm not going to knock down their opinion just because I don't like how you drum or the way you are set up, or hold your sticks, etc.
***** I think what's amazing about it is 1) that she can do it at all, but also 2) that it opens up a world of possibilities. It may not sound nice to you, or as powerful as you enjoy when two voices sing harmony together, but I wonder to myself, what would happen if someone with this ability is able to work at it and develop it? What if at some point a person could get strong enough with that ability that she's finally able to harmonize with herself in that strong-voiced way you prefer? I think it would be mind-blowing. Who knows what a person could learn to do with their own voice? It's just remarkable.
I would have given EVERYTHING to have experienced this in person.....
+tanham007 yeah i would have
+tanham007 you don't have to give EVERYTHING to experience this..you just have to give SOMETHING
+lanasynch879 Girlllllllllllllll yessssssss!
+tanham007 I'd given everything to see 'we like it here' in studio version
+Nijs Tim ;)
Can you imagine how proud of her dad must be.....I am proud of her!
We all have vocal cords. But Lalah Hathaway has vocal chords. My mind has been blown. Truly amazing.
I heard her live a couple weeks ago and she did it. I ALMOST LOST MY MIND.
at certain moments I hear so much of her father in Lalah's voice. that voice is magical.
who is her father. also us there anyone here thats 13 and likes this
+Jorge Ariza the late Donny Hathaway is her father
+Jorge Ariza i'm 14? Age doesn't matter just listen
+dvsn23 Glad to know I'm not the only one.
+Jorge Ariza Check Donny's "These Songs For You, Live!" Album.
...and also stop dropping your age under videos for no reason. It's kinda annoying and will make you cringe in a few years when you read your own posts. :P
This sister is a surgical vocalist!!!!!.......Outstanding!!!
I like how the drummer just about runs for the exits when Laela hits those polyphonic notes. Or the vocal run up through the scale.
She murdered those vocals. Bruh! Chills
Amazing love u Lalah
You know it's good when the drummer just can't play anymore :D
This is so beautiful I cried.Layla is a vocal beast.
queenofweaves916 i cry or catch the holy ghost everytime i listen to this!
Queenofweaves yessss!!!
Came across this purely by accident. My eyes watered too.... Just with the sheer joy of it.
Best live jazz vocal performance of the last 20 years.... Incredible band and back up harmonies.....Thank you for all you do for culture !! INSPIRATIONNNNNN!!!!
Actually it’s an R&B performance. Check the Grammy
6:25 Donny up in heaven pounding himself on the chest
Ella. ....Dinah. ..Etta. ...Sarah....and Donnie would be so proud of this woman's vocal acrobatics thru out this display is of pure musicianship. That scatting is out of this world. .....that chord absolutely unexplainable. ....The delivery pitch perfect. ....i bow to u my girl...absolute BEAST!!!!!!
I been trying today to figure out how to do what she did at 6:24
or so but alas she's a freak of nature. No like frfr. Found out through TERRELL that she was born with some weird vocal cord discrepancy that ended up being a blessing to us all. Ain't that how God always works. Never underestimate the power of your uniqueness. She got me round here preaching.
Preach!
You can learn it ! Look up polyphonic singing. Theres a few tutorials on youtube... I've been trying.... for a long periodically time lol x
There are monks who sing like this in their chants they sing two octaves in one voice. So this can be learned.
what's so special about that voice? i can't really tell. but it sounds "ghostly". i think i may be retarded.
Christian Nicholas she sings two and three notes at once by herself with polyphonic singing. It's a 'trick' even less common and more difficult than mastering whistle tones or overtones.
Wow. I have never heard another human do that. I got chills when she sang two notes at the same time. That had to of been a mile stone in the development of music history
I'm surprised, I can do that very easily and I never knew it was so rare, I can even isolate them both
@@tvr2120 would love to hear it if you have it somewhere online
th-cam.com/video/vC9Qh709gas/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Anna-MariaHefele
There are no words. I’ve heard polyphonic singing before, but it always sounded either gimmicky, or limited to a special genre, like Mongolian throat singing. But this woman makes it an inspiration. I said there are no words, but “amazing”, “awesome”, “incredible”, etc. still come to mind.
I had to pause Terrell and come here. 🙌
Ko Hearted Same 💯💯💯🥰🥰🥰
Ko Hearted so did I girl !
🤣same
I literally just did that 😭😭
Me too!
like Father Like Daughter, The Best to Never Care about Fame, just Sing for the love!
Golden Woman with a priceless voice. Y'all better give her her flowers!!
What Lalah did with her voice about 6 mins in was amazing!!!! WOW LALAH!!!! Snarky Puppy wasn't even expecting that. She's a true vocalist.
Multi phonics.. I didn't know that was possible on voice.. Crazy cool
Me either Tom, me either.
Terrence Duncan Tom Collins check out Bobby McFerrin, 'Drive' concert solo. The one where he's a bit younger. And the video's a bit grainy.

Beautiful song Lalah !!
Are you surprised? I'm not...at all! ;)
Its ABOUT TIME!!!!!! LOOOONNNNG OVERDUE......!!! #sohappyforLalah
Oh so deserving! God has truly anointed you with an awesome voice! Continue to bless us with your gift.
Ms. Lalah I have been a fan of your's and your father for a while (10 years or more & I'm only 40 now) but I prayed that God give you the recognition you deserved! Anita Baker can scat as well and I've loved her since I was little girl. But you Lalah, I have been telling folks about you for awhile and they be like who? I'm like Donny Hathaway's daughter. They would be like oh... But Everyone has a time and it's your time honey so do what you do and show the world since you got their attention and "Blow Girl" :-) I know your likes are going to go up now on facebook :-) I been noticing that people been sleeping on you honey. I been a friend for awhile.... *God Bless & stay humble because He resist the proud but give grace to the humble*
its got to be an incredible feeling to cover your own song years later and win a GRAMMY!
Robert Cooper She’s never been one for awards but it was her reward season🙌🏾
This song is by Brenda Russell, actually, so this is a cover of a cover.
beyond phenomenal even after my 10000th time watching this
I love how they're all impressed about her hitting high notes while scatting and then she busts out the harmonies and they FLIP
...and a few months later, they won their first Grammy.
Real music played by real musicians and backing an incredible singer... no wonder they got a Grammy!
God outdid himself with this one
Shit the energy after she did the harmonizing, is literally just out of this world
My God if your father isn't grinning in heaven!
+ashley daniels My thinking EXACTLY! She harnessed her Dad and then took his mastery to an entirely different level!!! DEFINITELY my favorite singer! He's smiling and giving her standing ovations in heaven... for sure!
+Sagirah Khalfani Seeing something like this....it's enough to make you emotional 😥 Oh Donny 6:00-6:26
It sure is Ciarra!!! All is not lost... Donny left the best parts of himself right there in Lalah! This is awesome to see and I'm glad I'm old enough to know about it! LOL
I am too ♥️♥️♥️She's in that Black Pool of Genius Donny mentioned when he sung Superwoman 🎁🎁🎁
I love your comment it makes me smile
This is how you win a Grammy .
The way the band and audience reacted to her "note" is enough for a Grammy (Nobody makes the band leave their instruments😄😄)!
This whole setup was just....Jesus🎁🎁
+Ciarra Johnson I'm so glad you made this comment. I normally just listen to music while working on fun things like vlook up lol. Thanks for the heads up.
Yes! With a 16 year old song at that!!!
Did Lalah win a grammy? I am not from America, so I do not know. She is one of my favorite singers.
A grammy!!!!! A lifetime achievement award in a chord!!!
All stand in aw of the "Hathaway"gift of music. Donny passed the torch. Lalah you are running with it. Grew up listening to your dad's music. Everything you sing brings tears to my eyes and chills down my spine because I hear your father's voice. Gone but never forgotten. Your voice is so free and liberating.
1. Lalah Hathaway
2. Anita Baker
3. Everybody else
I looooove this woman so much. Her vocal control is exquisite. What a treat it must be to experience this woman singing her heart out live. God, please, let me have that distinct pleasure one day! AND, lastly, the drummer's reaction at 6:26 says it all!!!!
Tyrone Cunningham ---You should be president off this comment alone
You cant forget Kim Burrell
She is sooo amazing, I had the pleasure of seeing her 4 times already. She was worth it everytime 🤗
mad respect..but you left out rachelle ferrell...
Brandy n Jasmine Sullivan
I live for their reaction to her polyphonic singing!!!!!
Top demais🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
This entire vibe drives me nuts! I just love it!! The band, the assistant vocalists, the audience, and of course, LALAH! The song starts out silky smooth and shifts to an upbeat at 3:59 and then something wonderful happens at 4:18, and then at 4:37 there's a funky shift that starts to move you! Finally, from 6:12 to 6:29 Lalah makes this thing called Polyphonic (consisting of many voices or sounds) happen that totally blows everyone on that stage’s mind, including mine-and I’ve seen this video many times! Overall, I just love it each and every time I view it!! What I love most is everyone’s reaction to it! #GRAMMYAPPROVED Well worth it!
+Sista Suga
She's incerdible. How the hell did she sing chords. Plus I love how people reacted during that time
+Damien Mercer ridiculous man
As a collegiate classically trained singer and performer for a living, this is the best singing I've heard in my life
there's a...007 feel to this in the beginning. Utterly breathtaking performance.
I have watched this video at least 10 times. I can only think of a handful of times that I've seen performances in which humans actually capture light in sound… This is one of those performances. Perfect...
yep. Rachelle Ferrell has the ability to do that as well as Ledisi. Only a true handful can actually be like this.
me too :-)
Ok, so it actually sounds like Lala Hathaway is singing two individual notes at one time - like her vocal chords are vibrating in two places producing two separate notes. This is actually NOT overtone singing like you'll hear with Anna-Maria Hefele. Overtone singing is actually easier to do than what Lala Hathaway has done here - I've never heard anyone do this. Lastly, a "triad" is three notes, and I don't hear Lala singing 3 notes. It may sound like 3 notes because of what's happening around her musically, but she is somehow producing 2 individual notes from one set of vocal chords. This is phenomenal. Kudos to the band for playing in a way that allowed her to be as expressive as this.
She is pure musical royalty!!!
that was a jam session of epic proportion
My life is forever changed by these 7 minutes
April Brown like wise April
Ummm first I want to thank God and then her parents for creating something so timelessly amazing!!!
2023 appreciating like since the first time I listened eight years ago! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
