If you listen to the real song that guys does this song nooooooo justice till Donny hits it breathes life into this simple song like cold water from warm water 💦
Kudos to Gary McFarland for writing this exquisite piece of music & to Donny Hathaway for sharing it with the world as only he could. "Can they learn...."
This man's voice was blessed by GOD Himself and I'm grateful to still be able to listen to him.... Donny Hathaway continue to Rest In Love🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥💔💔💔💔
Queen Eloquent Thinker, I'm 57 years old and grew up listening to this type of music all my life. I still believe Donny Hathaway had the Greatest Male Vocals I have ever heard in my life.
Anytime I hear Donny Hathaway, it melts all worries away. How did God make him unique but gave him an imperfection that put an end to him so early in life?
I'VE BEEEN LISTENING TO BROTHER DONNY SINCE HE & ROBERTA SANG TOGETHER BUT I DON'T REMEMBER HEARING THIS.THIS MAN'S VOICE IS AMAZING. I'VE HERD THIS SONG ...SACK FULL OF DREAMS... BY OTHER ...JAZZ ARTIS THAT DID A GREAT JOB ...GRADY TATE,GENE ALMOND, EVEN OL'E BLUE EYES BUT THIS ONE IS DIFFERNT. SO SOULFULL IN FEELING, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THIS SONG BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES BECAUSE IT'S SO FEELING. I'D VOTE THIS VERSION TO BE THE NATIONAL ANTHUM. THERE WILL NEVER AGIN BE A VOICE LIKE DONNY HATHAWY'S REST WELL MY BLACK BROTHER. AND REMEMBER...THERE'S NO WAY GOD WOULD LET A VOICE LIKE THAT GO ANY WHERE BUT TO HIM.
IF ever there was a Gift from above Mr Hathaway was surely IT & I have loved this man ever since I first heard him way back in my youth & when I'm asked on interviews to say what kind of music I like to play or listen to I direct the person asking to Donny, most get it but some don't,,,, Do I Care if they don't ------ Not at all it's their Loss not mine --- RIP Mr "H"
Donny Hathaway is my most famous singer and performer of all time. I've been listening to him since I was in high school and I graduated in the 70s🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
As a vocalist, I have endeavored to learn from, absorb and emulate those whom I consider the BEST to ever do it. Atop this list are Johnny Mathis, Stevie Wonder and the amazing spirit that DONNY HATHAWAY was, is and always shall be. Every time he opens his mouth and you close your eyes.. you can see his wings and GOD standing at his shoulder. In his brief time on the planet, his work has uplifted the hearts of many.. mine well amongst them. Like Mahalia, you can actually feel the SPIRIT OF GOD.. moving within each and every note.. each and every phrase. It leaves you speechless.. breathless.. and certain that the Love Of GOD does indeed exist in the world. Saying no more, I let his Gift do the talking. And teaching.
Donny … thank you for the magic and the love you make me feel when I hear your beautiful voice, may you forever remain beloved and never forgotten cause we were truly blessed to have you , though the time was short , you’ve left a legacy of love and tolerance x RIP and God bless you x 🖤♥️🌹💫
Donny doing it the only way he knew, with all his soul put into his performance. A superb vocalist who sang both soul. RnB and gospel. This is an all time favourite track that no other artist has ever bettered as there is only one version of this, be it in the studio or live. The range of his voice is sensational, only those who listen to his music know what a talent he was, who was so under rated, and such an outstanding artist of his generation. Donny's back catalogue show's the world why his tunes live on all those yeas after his sad passing that was way to early.
+Isabella Grimes That's an EXCELLENT suggestion and I concur. I think Mr. Legend could do it justice. Interesting note here...one of the composers...Gary McFarland...was poisoned in a bar in NYC...and died. "McFarland was considering a move into writing and arranging for film and stage when, on November 3, 1971, he was poisoned with methadone in a New York City bar.[1]Bill Evans performed "Gary's Waltz" in 1979, shortly before his own death."
Even though he struggled with depression he had everything to live for.He also had a Strong spiritual upbringing in Christ.so Suicide was out the question.The owing money to the mob could be possible.Recorfing artist have highs ans and dry moments in their career so he could have gotten a loan with interest.He just didnt make the money back fast enough.Also insurance policys are ways to pay up debts

Just.love.dany.solong.what.asaulheart.warm.voice.he.gat
Smooth
My favorite Donny Hathaway song. If this were re-made today, I think John Legend could do this well.
+Isabella Grimes That's an EXCELLENT suggestion and I concur. I think Mr. Legend could do it justice. Interesting note here...one of the composers...Gary McFarland...was poisoned in a bar in NYC...and died.

as heard on WBGO's Rhythm Revue with Felix Hernandez.
Donnie is god in human form, most of us did not have the ears to hear nor the vision to see him. But you know now.
Mr.Gerald Aston of the Manhattan's would sound so good with his spin on this too.
❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He sounds like Steve Wonder
No he sounds like NOBODY... But sorry Stevie can't touch Donny and I'm a BIG Stevie fan
Actually, Jim Gilstrap who sings the first 2 lines in Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" sounds a lot like Donny Hathaway on that song.
wonderful remake but my favorite rendition is grady tate
Yes, I like his version better...
Whoever disliked this must be dead on the inside. Wow sorry your life is so miserable
Anybody know where the NON live version is?
His voice is like no other soulful know one matches him only Teddy Pendergrass comes close
하... 예술ㅠ
Man that from 2:25-2:29 powervoice
Even though he struggled with depression he had everything to live for.He also had a Strong spiritual upbringing in Christ.so Suicide was out the question.The owing money to the mob could be possible.Recorfing artist have highs ans and dry moments in their career so he could have gotten a loan with interest.He just didnt make the money back fast enough.Also insurance policys are ways to pay up debts
Call me it's a prayer to
