Mr. Donny was a legend!! Nobody has matched his style yet!

33 years, and this is my first time hearing this amazing song at 3:30am. Finally my insomnia paid off.

The Ghetto was our special in the 60s & 70s.... We was safe there!!

I was 17 when I first heard this - I’m now 70 & still playing it !!!

Strong low notes from Donny Hathaway in this musical masterpiece.

What a band. What an arrangement. What percussion. Such vocals and live participation

This classic inspired so many future songs.

a classic that will never die! just like his song This Christmas ❤

Pov: You're listening to this is 2022 and still jammin'

Still listening to old school in 2021 and Donny Hathaway is one of my best musician to listen to ❣❣

this musician is of the greatness of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, George Benson and Marvin Gaye, however his work and talent are unknown to most Brazilians...

Remember when came out going to Jr high school in Detroit in the Getto 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🎶🎵🎤🎼🥃🥃🥃 I'm 70 year's young and love it yeah

Some of the Best of R&B

The best music Donny Hathaway

smooth like water and funky like cheese. I am pleased.

In my case not only the best music , but life saving ! This man's music literally saved my life !

Still listening in 2023.

If you're listening to this in 2023 then you know good music 🎶 and things will be ok

Awesome music. All the new electronic musicians need to listen to this and see what elegant arrangements, use of percussions and mesmerizing harmonics can do to the soul.

Love from Indonesia

Bought it gave it to loved ones before I bought a copy for me originials its a family teeasure my long since gone stolen by cheapskates but the song lives in me eh donny thku mam & friends.

Wow this was a great song for the Detroit ghetto by my hero the great Donny Hathaway

Don't you know!💓

Looking back over a long life of struggle, everyday struggle with uncertainty about the future, this song started running through my mind. Images of ‘modern dance class’ 1970 and learning to move this body a new way. Heard a few racist/sexist comments, whatever. Still kept dancing - all through life💐

I loved living the 70's I loved dancing. I did don't know about anyone watching enjoyed watching me😂

this is the ghetto

TOO SHORT EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

02:23 AM UK time, Feb 2024

This song is similar to Marvin Gaye's "Right On" song from the "What's Going On" album.

This sounds like it's "Live Off-the-Floor"... Spontaneous. Is there an acknowledgment of Where and When this was recorded? Thanks in advance, as this Sounds GREAT! Thank You for posting... ❤

@4:20 Master Henry Gibson on bongos

But did you hear the "We Shall Overcome..." tho? Y'all can't hear Donny!!! Musical Genius

ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME CANDIDATE FOR SURE 😃😊.

Another wonderful discovery due to Snowfall 🎼

12:31 am cst Dec 25, 2022: Still jamming!

Did I just hear "pass the joint" 4:19😅

rhythm reminds me a lot of steely dan's "get back...", or vice versa: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m55dqdOEmLjFnXU.html

Over 50 years ago, and far better than most of what "the man" promotes today.

Do not Come back Charleston Blue- suggestion of an old art critic...Wojciech Wuja.

Excuse the mispellings in print even the memory of the abuse these 2 adults exercised as theirs ,vulgarity quite dispicable what they offered a child groomed ti their abuse or their conmunity as a whole. It was entirely sad .

And your the 111 comment..1+1+1

Nice neighbours were constantled terrorised or terrified moved out sonetimes rhe next day the incidents were so ,regular offered by these two abusers including their own kid,one day a lovely neighbour offspring a real upright teenager greeted me ashen palefaced barely able to speak ,are ok .no the young person had jyst witnessed a murder ,a stabbing ,in front of their eyes ,the local network of drug dealers .offerings ,i felt such anguish for my fruends ,teenage offspring ,behaving always with real commonsense ,sweetness exposed to something so ugly the awful waste of life tradegy in my midst & community these two cared nothing.it was bussiness as usual & a small child groomed on their parents abuse as their adult choice .hoq dare u have abused so many children teenagers lovely people .the disgeace is yours.
