Lalah Hathaway Quotations

I wrote that song as sort of a prayer, listing all of the things I would do once the plane landed safely on the ground,

It would be hard to be a singer, musician or have ears and not be an admirer of my dad, ... I can only say that now that I'm older, because growing up, I thought I was biased. I thought it was just me. Now I see that he left his mark on the world.

It's kind of a twisted cycle, but I think that there is less money in real music these days,

In college, I decided to listen to instrumentalists, because I knew it would help me shape what my personal style was, ... I love Donald Fagan. Steely Dan is a part of the fabric of my youth. I grew up with songs like 'FM' and 'Peg.' All those songs are gonna last forever.

I don't really have any childhood memories of my dad, unfortunately, .. I was 10 years old when he passed, so my memories are kind of skewed. I don't have many memories of my childhood, period.

Singers- nothing sounds like you. For better or worse-there is only 1 of you. Don't homogenize your sound by making it just like the next.

I like 'Unsung' but I'd rather have a 'Behind the Music' while I'm still breathing.

There are no hard and fast rules. Sometimes you work for free and get no credit or courtesy. That's why you make sure you do what you love.
