Donnie always drives tears to my eyes.
His version of "Some day we`ll all be free" (released on "Extensions of a Man", Atco Records) is a masterpiece. And the live-version of "The Ghetto" (of "Donny Hathaway live", Atlantic records) grooves to the bone! "Peace and Benz -- The future, made in Germany"  | |

A Song for you- Donnie Hatheway As beautiful as this song is, I really can't listen to it all. It's as if Donny knew he wasn't going to be here much longer. The part where he sings "And when my life is ovaaa..." always gets me!  | |

I dont even know if there is such a CD. Why dont you get all the albums? "Extensions of a man" or "Donny Hathaway" and "Donny Hathaway live" are the essentials. "Peace and Benz -- The future, made in Germany" | |

I dont really think the duets can beat his solo work. But thats a matter of taste. "Peace and Benz -- The future, made in Germany" | |

I wonder if he actually jumped or if someone pushed him. You know there's still a huge un-talked about mystery surrounding his death.  | |

...hopefully there is one or very soon, there will be a new compilation of his music... 
Donny Hathaway's works with Roberta Flack are my most favorite...
And his song "This Christmas"...
(btw...love his daughter Lalah Hathaway as well...her work with Joe Sample is great... )

I also wonder why there isn't much video footage of Donny, like from concerts or interviews? | |
