It's really hard to pick a favourite part of this particular live version of 'The Ghetto', but Donny"s vocal return at 9:10 is just the most soulful sound I can think of. Absolutely amazing as everyone here seems to agree!

A great vocal moment as well a great moment of Donny showcasing his performance prowess; notice how he pushes the mic closer before he belts so he's able to better project his voice.

At the beginning when he sings, "Don't you know that's alright, yeah!!" It took me back to sitting next to the mothers/grand mothers in church, and every time they spoke during the preacher's sermon, it would come out in song, just like that! I appreciate that through his music, he is giving everyone the opportunity to know that feeling of the black southern church experience, and being a little kid and sitting up under that grandmother with big/soft arms that shook and woke you up after you had fallen asleep on one of them, because she had to wave her fan and sing back at the preacher! All of his moans, the wails, the "Mmmm hmmm", all of it, comes from having that type of background. So glad we have this recording to enjoy. That experience is an American tradition which belongs to us all. Even if everyone has not lived it, we all have grown up and seen it somewhere in movies or on television, so it is OUR experience. Donny Hathaway gave everyone a VIP seat in the pews.

He was and is a musical legend and his music will live on forever. Donny had the voice of an angel and the talent of a genius that touched your soul, heart and spirit. You didnt just listen to his music , you felt it. I just wish that he could be here still singing his wonderful songs. So heartbreaking that he suffered so much towards the end of his life. Can you imagine what his gospel music would have sounded like ? Wow ! May the Lord bless you Donny.

There will never be another Talent that will be able to match his originality. It's amazing how when entertainer' s are raised in Church and transition over to Soul Music, how you can still get a taste of it all blended together! Donny Hathaway a one of a kind Genius with his own style. R. I. P. Gone from us now, but you and your music will reign forever❤❤❤❤

FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! I have been enjoying this song off-and-on over the decades since it came out in 1970!! I bought the LP back then. I've always wanted to see Donny Hathaway perform this song live. And to also finally see the percussionist, the superb Earl DeRoy, as well. WOW!! Never knew he was white which makes this a WOW WOW!. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Seeing this is like a dream come true.

The level of talent back in the late 60s and early 70s was so strong in the R&B/Soul world. Your comment was truly on point. I say the same thing about Curtis Mayfield on how his talent and genius was overshadowed by Marvin Gaye (Whats Goin On LP) at the time but equally talented with equal contribution to social awareness and messaging in his music.

E' vero Donny è stato un artista sottovalutato purtroppo, ma la sua grandezza non si misura con la popolarità, questo parallelo è sempre esistito a torto di tanti grandi talenti! Andatevi ad ascoltare il live di " The ghetto del 1971 è ancora un livello superiore a questo, per cui potete immaginare dove arrivava Donny, per chi ha cognizione di causa come noi UNA LEGGENDA!
