This is one of those money-can’t-buy, once in a lifetime situations – I’m so thankful someone got footage of this. Last week, the legend that is Patti LeBelle celebrated her 66th birthday at a surprise party in L.A, filled with celebrity well wishers including Stevie Wonder, Chrisette Michele, Eddie Levert and of course, Lalah Hathaway and more.

This being a party for Miss LaBelle, it was only natural that someone would take the mic and sing their appreciation. Amoung the performances that night, was Lalay Hathway’s stirring and emotional rendition of her fathers classic song ‘A Song for You’. Singing directly to Patti LaBelle – who was clearly ‘in’ the moment – Hathaway, with her gorgeous tone sang with such sincerity the entire crowd was captivated. Heck, I was captivated just watching it.

A beautiful moment.

Thanks SB
