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

oh, Donny Hathaway is definitely a household name. it's just the youngest generations are discovering him now. but 💯% my own + at least 2 generations that were born before me know his name very well + his daughter, Lalah, 🙌 is also a brilliant well known singer, too in certain music circles!🎙️definitely check out her music when you get a moment.🩷🎵🩵🎼

@@DiandraStarShine I'm aware of Lalah's career. I've seen her perform. I just think that both of them deserve to be as well known as performers that have name recognition across America.

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"...

He was schizophrenic and sometimes I think that artists who suffer from these types of mental illnesses feel things on a different level than we do. He sang everything on a different level of emotion and difficulty and passion like he meant every word

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!

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
