I was a kinda young when his star was on the rise, however, his music was part of the soundtract of my life at the time. His duets with Roberta Flack are timeless. From You are My Heaven, Where is the Love, The Closer I get to You, and Back Together Again to me are just as fresh today as the day they were released.

His live album is one of my very favorite albums I own. | |

I have yet to hear someone with his vocal tone - it's like molasses. He could sing the ingredients on a ketchup bottle and it would sound great. Only his daughter comes close. Purchase my new novel, "Tones" at: http://www.cacoethespubli...08&book=74

Oh YES, you should! The band's tight, the songs are great and it has the prefect level of audience noise IMO. The male/female choir on The Ghetto is to die for. | |

It's a shame that the "Love, Love, Love" anthology never came out; I understand that it was something to do with Roberta Flack. Quite a few of the tracks made it on to the "These Songs For You, Live!" compilation, albeit in edited form. I have a promo with the full length versions, as well as other unreleased live tracks.
New single "WHAT CAN YOU DO" out on iTunes on October 26! | |

Yes Donny was the truth. Everything Is Everything, Live and Extension of a Man are three of my all time favorite records. Extension of a Man gets me everytime though. I Love the Lord, He Heard My Cry Pts. 1&2, Flying Easy, Valdez in the Country and I Love You More Than You'll Every Know are pure ecstasy. | |

jjam said: Shame that there's never been a biography written about him. Thats my BIGGEST lament about him. People need to read about the man behind the music and the forces that drove him into delievering such work of art. No more myths and no more assumptions, just the REAL DEAL. I read once that comedian Anthony Anderson had signed to portray the role of DH. Not sure how true is this. Donny was a troubled man, he was haunted down by the same beast that shot Phyllis Hyman; self-depression. Both were very inscure and hyper-sensitive. Most sadly was the fact that they thought that nobody loved them and even disbelieved it, when in fact, alot of people dearly loved them. Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on Sometimes when you think it's on baby It has turned off and gone Lady Day | |
