Yuletide classic tune, ‘This Christmas,’ may have seen some of music’s biggest stars deliver unforgettable takes over the years, but none seem to quite measure up to the original by the legendary Donny Hathaway.
With that in mind, his five-time GRAMMY Award-winning daughter, Lalah Hathaway, not only ensured his timeless vocals were included on her remake of the holiday hit but that his likeness was also featured in an accompanying music video for her rendition.
Directed by Phil Beaudreau, the clip showcases how Lalah’s version manages to keep the essence of her dad’s version while shining independently thanks to its more relaxed tempo.
Just days after lifting the lid on the heavily-teased offering, the songstress took to ‘Sherri‘ to deliver a stunning live performance of it.
