After recently having a performance canceled in Nigeria due to a promoter not being able to come through on traveling arrangements, singer Lauryn Hill made the attempt to make up for the mishap by performing her classic song, “Doo Wop (That Thing)” from the comfort of her living room. With the assistance of back-up singers offering their vocals, Hill’s younger daughter Sarah Marley made the acoustic performance that much better by contributing her own.
