#LalahHathaway #LivePerformance #NPR #R&B #RnB #Soul Lalah Hathaway  comes from royalty: Her late father  Donny Hathaway 's voice was crucial for my generation, setting the bar for inspired, old-school soul singing. But living in that kind of shadow can also be a burden, robbing the offspring of an identity apart from that of the famous parent. The younger Hathaway's appearance behind the Tiny Desk pulls back the curtain a bit for a close-up encounter with her powerfully expressive voice. The lower registers always draw me in, and in "Change Ya Life," Hathaway's dusky contralto paints an exciting portrait of blissful cohabitation — but on her terms. "I'm going to teach you how to treat me like I deserve," she sings, adding, "I'll give you the world." She draws on a tradition of romance and sensuality in the best soul music, but with a feminist twist that eschews old-school, male-centric lyrics and attitudes. Lyrics alone do n...

She made frequent television appearances beginning in the 1960s. She won an Emmy for her series “The Nancy Wilson Show” (1974 – 1975).

#Amazinggrace #GospelMusic #ArethaFranklin #QueenofSoul #Respect #RIP #RnB #Soul  It begins with a sonic relay, the buzz of conversation interwoven with the hum of a Hammond organ. Like the first seconds of Marvin Gaye's " Got to Give It Up ," the sound of the voices chatting and the organ playing announces life in a lower frequency and register. In those initial moments, one cannot know which came first, the talking or the playing, because they are deeply entangled. This entanglement sets the stage for anticipation, the desire for Spirit to happen and flow and release. The refusal of a border — between the noise of the flesh and the noise of the electrical, mechanical object — might tell us something about how  Aretha Franklin  thought about black creativity. The recording that includes this entanglement of flesh and machine was made available on  Amazing Grace: The Complete Recordings  (1999), an extension of the original 1972 hit album. But this extend...
