Donny Hathaway | Neglected Heart Of Soul





NPR: Morning Edition (7 min 19 sec)

Born October 1, 1945 in Chicago I.L., singer-composer-arranger Donny Hathaway by the age of three, was already a professional gospel singer (*genius*).

Raul Midon is correct when he states, "...there are very few people that come even close to singing the way Donny did, or having the depth of sound and emotion in his singing."

Hathaway's extraordinary voice, writing, arranging and conducting skills are the Extension Of A Man that intimidated famous singers and boundlessly touched my heart and sensibilities.

Every other male singer comes a distance third (rate) to Hathaway; wherein, Marvin Gaye places a close second (imo).

Respect comes easy for a(n) artist/man who, "...think[s] of music in its totality, complete".
