Nobody, but nobody could sing a song better than Hathaway. If he had lived longer he would be a household name for sure.

Donny Hathaway left us a heavenly jewel.

When you hear Donny sing, you automatically sit up straighter! He was magical. So missed. 💔

Donny voice is unmatched 😯

"I love you in a place where there is no space or time" is the most masterful summary of grief I have ever heard.

Thank you. My favorite male voice of all time. He took his life at 33, jumping off a building in New York City. R.I.P. *PLEASE* do his duets with Roberta Flack: "Where Is The Love?" and The Closer I Get To You"...

Donny is (was) a fantastic pianist as well as a legendary singer who left us way too soon. His daughter Lalah carries his talent as part of his legacy.

My favorite Donny Hathaway song. He was a child musical prodigy but had mental health issues and eventually committed suicide by jumping from a balcony. He refused to take his meds because he didn't like how they affected him. He had depression and paranoid schizophrenia and died way too young like many geniuses' do.

he said, praise the Lord!," LoLoL!!😄 because ikr? exactly! 💯%🙌 & fun to see the younger generations discovering for the first time these gorgeous, super-emotional old-school r&b songs..& truer words weren't spoken in the moment when he said that when you see someone sitting playing the piano with a microphone in front of them the person is a great singer!👍

Donny was a damned genius! This is 1 my favorite songs. I always thought he wrote this song, but I just found out that Leon Russell wrote & sang this. Pls react to his live performance. It's different & normally I'd never listen to anything like this, but OMG! I felt every word. It proves that you don't have to be a great singer BUT, it's so damned beautiful. You'll be shocked, but you'll love it!

One of the best reactions to this song... Thank you!!! 🙏🏾👏🏾 I lived in an adjacent housing project to Donny in St. Louis, but he predates my time by a generation. However, my horn instructor went to high school with him and I attended that same high school.

There is just nobody better. Donny will always be the best voice ever!!!

This is amazing that people have JUST discovered this song…WOW!

... and he was playin' the hell out of that piano....

Donny Hathaway = GOAT

Now we can sing in heaven

Donny Hathaway "I LOVE YOU MORE THEN YOU'LL EVER KNOW"...the LIVE version

React to his song Giving Up. Sooooo soulful

Donny Hathaway "For all we know."

Absolutely one of the greatest songs. His daughter Layla Hathaway, is the only other person on earth that can sing this song. Dear lord, it's as if her father jumped into her body and helps her out.

I just love how the young people are paying more attention to the legends of Soul music. To me when music was music.

Donnie had the purest voice, clear as crystal and his heart went into every song he ever sung… an absolute talent in every way. His death was a tragedy but his music we will always have and for that I am so so grateful. ♥️🌹

Whitney singing this song is awesome

The greatest pure male singer ever. His piano playing was just as emotional. Stevie Wonder once called him "A singers, singer. He is who we listen to. The live version is even better than this. R.I.P Donny

We like to see your emotional reaction to the songs. Go for it every time.

Lenny Williams "Cause I love you"..

Black American Excellence

He was playing this real time so NOTHING NOTHING MAJOR. this is when you enter the recording booth with TALENT.

Beautiful love song. Been a favorite for years!

You gotta hear leanne la havas song bittersweet

My favorite male singer of all time, since the 70's, favorite female singer Roberta Flack.

A great song, incredible rendition by one of the all-time greats. Have you heard Donny performing this live? It is quite magnificent - he has the audience completely captivated. It's available on KZfaq, check it out 👍

Donny I love so

Overwhelmed thank you

You would love Leon Russell’s song Lady Blue also.

You have got to react to more Donny Hathaway and R & B Soul. You get him and it. Thank you. 😊

U gotta check out Whitney Houston’s Cover of “A Song For You”

You comment about not having videos back in the day,what Era did the video thriller come from go watch it!!!

Proper tunes 👌👍👏🙌🎶😎

Check out his daughter Lalah Hathaway

Masterclass!

You want emotion....try TINA MARIE - If I were a bell...live...🥰 P.S. you will NEVER forget Donny....he has infected your soul...join our club..🥰

Fabulous version from Donny, try listening to K Carpenter singing this,

You gotta Hear Whitney Houston version! You'll be even more pleased.

Listen to duet with Roberta Flake the closer I get to you. Get blown away twice

Please react to ' Take A Love Song' by Donny Hathaway. You won't regret it.

Nice reaction, but you need to react to Leon Russell singing this song and playing the piano. He wrote the song and there are several videos of him singing it live. Look for the one in 1971. Donny’s singing is smooth, but Leon’s is raw.

Yes, but listen to those violins and flute!

Whitney Houston covers this song amazingly!

🔥🥇🥰🇨🇦

Do the Ghetto Live

Nope we call it "SANG"!

This makes modern music a rip-off

Willie Nelson is the `owner` of this song. !!!!! Song composed by LEON RUSSELL Both versions more sincere and down to earth. This version is too showy and frothy. Overcomplicating it.....Ruining the simplicity and depth of the words.

I have always appreciated both Donny's version, and Leon Russell's rendition since he was the songwriter too, but for me, I still have a hard time hearing any other version of this song besides the Carpenters and Karen Carpenter's voice singing these words.

I agree with you 110% the guy was amazing right you said I hear a lot of cover songs of his but that was the most yeah down deep inside it’s been a while not eight months ago you were doing some Led Zeppelin I am a diehard lead head I seen him in concert April 25, 1977 and yeah your reaction to the videos was awesome there’s two I would like to throw at you that is in my Time of dying Lauv Earls Court I believe it was 1975 and dazed and confused at MSG Madison Square Garden‘s 1973 John Paul Jones plays the piano and drums when he’s playing the piano he plays the bass with his feet and he is the bass player Robert Plant lead singer Jimmy page is the lead guitarist the best and John Bonham drummer this song dazed and confused all four of them musical.ly take it to the next level that is you’re going to see Jimmy page play the league guitar solo with a banjo stick like I said it’ll blow your mind long version laugh check it out at her cell phone a great week what’s left of it
