The daughter of the great Donny Hathaway, Lalah Hathaway made a good impression with her debut recording Lalah Hathaway in 1990. She not only displayed poise, confidence, and good technique, but was also versatile enough to do more than just light urban contemporary ballads. Her stage shows included jazz, pre-rock pop, and even gospel, and Hathaway later appeared on Black Entertainment Television doing jazz and fusion. After a lengthy hiatus away from the spotlight, Hathaway returned a decade later with Outrun The Sky in 2004.
