Donny Hathaway worship thread

I love this man!!

I`ve been listening to his albums A LOT lately. His voice gives me a special feeling, makes me forget everything else, so pure and so beautiful.

Any other fans?

It's funny, I just said to a co-worker, "they broke the mold with Donny"

His music moves me to say the least...

Donny's duets with Roberta Flack were beautiful beyond measure.

There will never be another one like him! Another underrated talent that died so young and tragic. His three solo albums (including his 1972 live recording) are timeless. My favorite song is Take A Love Song. music

A song for you is one of his greats. Also, I loved it when he dueted with Roberta Flack on the following: You've Got A Friend, & Where Is The Love.

Donnie Hathaway is the Man. Song 4 U and This Christmas are 2 of my faves ever!

It's great!!!
It's worth getting for the original studioversion of "Little ghetto boy" alone.
I have the vinyl.Hope the cd contains bonustracks.

Just listened to his 'Live' album. Diggin' Willie Weeks's bass playin' at the end of 'Voices Inside (Everything Is Everything)' cool
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Someday We'll be Free, must be his best song ever. I heard he cried after he finished producing that song. It's mainly seen as a civil rights song, but I think when Donny produced that song he was thinking of his own personal struggles regarding his mental illness. IIt's a beautiful, powerful song of hope that always brings a tear to my eye any time I hear it.

Hang on to the world as it spins around
Just don't let the spin get you down
Things are moving so fast
Hold on tight and you will last
Keep your self respect
and manly pride
Get yourself in gear
keep your stride
never mind your fears
Brighter days will soon be here
Take it from me
Someday We'll all be free
music
