+loulou2lou I agree, every time I hear this song I picture the 2nd world war, a service man and his perfect newly found love, briefly coming together for the night and realizing he has found his soulmate, then he has to return to his unit the next day, both with the realization they will never meet again. They try and make their encounter last as long as possible before saying goodbye. I'm sure it must have happened, this song fits the situation perfectly.
loulou2lou, I have unhappily been facing mine since my not so wonderful birthday passed, unsure of a girl that I love but may not feel the same way about me and I may end up being alone forever.
It takes quite a lot.....something almost monumental......to practically put me at a loss for words. This performance of Lalah's represents one of those moments. For exactly 40 years, her father's version of "For All We Know" has moved me deeply. I'm now a grandfather who still appreciates the beauty that life offers, and this performance is definitely a part of that beauty. Daddy's "little girl" has tossed a bouquet of roses to the memory of her father......this couldn't be any sweeter.
She does her daddy so proud!!! Wonderful vocalist and artist. Note singers *no crazy runs....flat foot sangin', no fingers wiggling in the air, no rushing the song or doing an extended remixed version and an actual live band!!!!!
The first time that I heard Donny Hathaway's rendition....I cried. I must've play that version over 50 times that night! Masterful! She inherited a lot of his tonal smoothness and some of his timbre. But she has her own things too.
OMG, Lalah makes me cry everytime she opens her mouth to sing, especially one of her fathers songs, Donny Hathaway has got to be one of the best male vocalist of our times, his diction and powerful gospel vocals is synonymous with Whitney Houston who also infused Gospel with R&B into songs that reverberates into the spine and sends chills all through your body....I have much respect for true musicians like Lalahy, Donny and those who actually sing without all the studio & auto-tunes. Beautiful
I just spent five minutes 38 seconds without breathing, surprisingly I’m still alive. Miss Hathaway completely took my breath away with this stunning reading of this gorgeous song. Beautifully accompanied by this brilliant young pianist she did something you rarely sees these days, she simply stood there with minimal movement, and just sang, thereby blessing us with her supreme artistry. There simply cannot be anything better than this. Bravo Miss Hathaway!
She keeps the Hathaway legacy alive! If you listen closely, you can even hear her dad's voice through hers. There's something in her voice that sounds like his! BEAUTIFUL!
Can't drink beer to that one. Too much class. Gotta poor me a Johnny Black. So smoky and smooth. And I love the way she keeps within range. No acrobatics or theatrics or ultra high-pitched notes only dolphins can hear. Stays within the tune and herself. Great clipTgot!
It was meant for Lalah to shine on Earth! Every song her father wrote and sang, was for her!!! Donny knew that! That's why he left us like he did! Because he was leaving us his very best.....Lalah!
Tomorrow may never come for all we know…so very true my son just buried one of his closest friends who went to bed and didn’t wake up he was just 30 years old. Rest in eternal sleep in love and light
My heart is so filled , my soul is lifted by the pure sweet beauty of melody and lyric. Billie Porter has a heart stopping rendition also. Aren't we blessed?
❤❤❤ Hearing this is rendition of your dads song is hauntingly beautiful, like a travel back in time. Only those who lived during that time can appreciate how this song is arranged
No clip of her is good at all, you have to see her in concert. I have had the pleasure of going to many concerts and no one yet has moved me like her. Lalah's voice is mesmerizing and leaves an everlasting mark on your heart. Lalah it was a pleasure, an honor to meet and hear a voice of an ANGEL!!!!!
Sometimes in life we are lucky enough to be presented with something so beautiful that it defies description. Words like Magnificent, perfect, sublime, etc seem much too ordinary. Miss Hathaway's performance of this wondrous composition is something we rarely see these days. She just literally stands there and simply sings, and that voice just pours over us like some decadent chocolate sauce over ice cream. I have to also say that young man on the piano is just stupendous. Discovered this posting a few days ago and I have played it over and over again. And even i'm not listening to it here it still plays in my head. Miss Hathaway is standing tall right beside her father! Genius to genius! Thank you for this fantastic posting.
I watched this twice, looked up the song, listened again. Tears streaming down my face. Planning on posting it on FB, tagging my love who passed coming up on 2 years now. Still grieving, completely alone. Feel so alone, since he left. Used to see signs of him everywhere, but not so much anymore. Feel like I'm losing him all over again. 💔💙😔
Now this is simply just WOW!!!!! If ever there was a reincarnation of a souk, we are witnessing it right here! This lady is her father's replica through and through! Ive never witnessed a child of a timeless singer like Donny Hathaway embody the exact same message and emotions as the original version of the song. It was like listening to Donny,but a female version. Fantastic job, Lalah Hathaway❤❤❤❤ Im binge listening to this song in the midnight hours of 7 June 2023. It is now 02:57am.
Listening to this version and then the Joe Sample version she did I believe that the lyrical flow has more meaning in this version. Due to the delivery of the chord changes and its timing, the pianist here allows the song to sing, develop and envelop the listeners.
No need to say take yor time...she knows EXACTLY how to do that and wring every possible gorgeous bell in her arsenal. My god the emotion and tone, pitch and tambre. Lord lord that we could even get close to this kind of perfection.
I used to go to this piano bar and this was the last song the piano player played at the end of the night as people paired up for the night at the bar. I think it's one night stand songs 😊
I'm sorry, but, I don't think anyone and I don't care who they are can give this song the life that Donny Hathaway gave it. It came from the depths of his soul. JMO.

I think this is the saddest song ever written.We all face our mortality one ripple at a time.

loulou2lou beautifully said
It's a one night stand songs you hear played in bars
loulou2lou, I have unhappily been facing mine since my not so wonderful birthday passed, unsure of a girl that I love but may not feel the same way about me and I may end up being alone forever.
well spoken and the truth!

I never hear sadness in this song but opportunity...its a reminder for me to cherish life and love!!
She does her daddy so proud!!! Wonderful vocalist and artist. Note singers *no crazy runs....flat foot sangin', no fingers wiggling in the air, no rushing the song or doing an extended remixed version and an actual live band!!!!!
Nuttin but CLASS !
Facts Shannon 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤✊🏾✊🏾🎼🎶
Exactly 💯 pure gold
This is Music Therapy. Hathaway style 😊
Watching this in 2021. I do know that Donny is very proud of her
She did her father's song great justice! Perfect! She sounds so much like him.
Absolutely awesome. I can hear her father's tone; particularly when she sings low/deep. Beautiful!!!
Simply beautiful singing
Donny I know you're proud of your daughter. I close my eyes and i hear you Donny. RIP!!!!!
One of the most beautiful songs, i have ever heard.
Who could dislike this? So many try to impersonate Donny Hathaway, but she is him! His voice in female form!!!!! She's so underrated!
SHE IS HER FATHERS, CHILD!! NUFF SAID!!
The first time that I heard Donny Hathaway's rendition....I cried.
I must've play that version over 50 times that night!
Masterful! She inherited a lot of his tonal smoothness and
some of his timbre. But she has her own things too.

My goodness. Mhmmm! I know of no other living singer who sings as elegantly, tastefully, and enchantingly as this lady does.
No one.

Her father died with as much stigma as anyone. She sang this song!!! I know her father would be proud!!! Melody is beautiful.

D. Antonio Bailey. Lalaha........knocked her Pops' song 🎵 out the park. Salute Donnie and babygirl.
She keeps the Hathaway legacy alive! If you listen closely, you can even hear her dad's voice through hers. There's something in her voice that sounds like his! BEAUTIFUL!
That piano player is everything! And of course Lalah sings it flawlessly! I also love Will Downing's rendition.
Who is the pianist? He's magnificent.
She's her daddy's child! What an amazingly talented woman! Her voice moves me. So beautiful!
As lovely as Donny Hathaway’s rendition, with a different depth. Wonderful.
She really makes this her own. Beautiful jazzy interpretation.
Can't drink beer to that one. Too much class. Gotta poor me a Johnny Black. So smoky and smooth. And I love the way she keeps within range. No acrobatics or theatrics or ultra high-pitched notes only dolphins can hear. Stays within the tune and herself. Great clipTgot!
U Better believe it!!!💜💜💜
Chile, you are so crazy! "Notes only dolphins can hear, huh?! :-)
That's cool about the dolphins.
The simplicity and effortlessness of her voice is so soothing and entrancing.
Wonderful tribute to her father.. Respect rest in peace Donny Hathaway 🙏💕
It was meant for Lalah to shine on Earth! Every song her father wrote and sang, was for her!!! Donny knew that! That's why he left us like he did! Because he was leaving us his very best.....Lalah!

My heart is so filled , my soul is lifted by the pure sweet beauty of melody and lyric. Billie Porter has a heart stopping rendition also. Aren't we blessed?
I LOVE HER & HER DADDY!!! TRULY GIFTED VOCALISTS!!
Thank You Lalah For you singing his song in the old tradition.
Lalah- you made your Dad proud. Beautiful voice and now I'm a fan.
Amazing underrated vocalist .Simply beautiful voice like her DAD'S.Amazing pianist.
Not sure, but that might be Joe Sample? This cut was on his album with Lalah. No one can sing with the feeling like this lady. Amazing!
@@edwina.ondatje3133 Her dad was Donny Hathaway. :)
The more time goes on she looks and sounds like her Daddy. The annointing is real.
C'MON! C'MON!!! I am without words! I have seen her in concert many times, but I am ALWAYS IN AWE of her GOD GIVEN TALENT!!! JUST LIKE HER DADDY!!
❤❤❤ Hearing this is rendition of your dads song is hauntingly beautiful, like a travel back in time. Only those who lived during that time can appreciate how this song is arranged
Attended one of Lalah’s concerts many years ago and she sounds just like this in person! Phenomenal! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
No clip of her is good at all, you have to see her in concert. I have had the pleasure of going to many concerts and no one yet has moved me like her. Lalah's voice is mesmerizing and leaves an everlasting mark on your heart. Lalah it was a pleasure, an honor to meet and hear a voice of an ANGEL!!!!!
Une voix d'une profondeur exceptionnelle et unique.

Her version and her voice touch the soul deeply and warms the heart. Thank You Lalah, because For All We Know is truth personified.

My favorite Lalah Hathaway song of all time
I used to go to this piano bar and this was the last song the piano player played at the end of the night as people paired up for the night at the bar.
I think it's one night stand songs 😊
Great pianist also. I love the double time at 3:41.
beautiful
Rocking Chair, deep in the middle of the night.With a glass of red wine..Minding your own....
pure magic....wow
I'm sorry, but, I don't think anyone and I don't care who they are can give this song the life that Donny Hathaway gave it. It came from the depths of his soul. JMO.
God bless her ❤
This was at the Fountain of Praise Church in Houston during one of their Epiphany Christmas Concerts! Wow!
WOW !!!!! AWESOME ! I love it so beautiful !!!
