donny hathaway & roberta flack. some of the best duets ever.
No disrespect to those saying they prefer Leon's version. Maybe for nostalgia reasons? But to deem his version superior "musically" is a reach! Leon's voice is all over the place. Like someone stated, Donny captured the essence of it. Its Soulful. Rich. Smooth. And the strings add another dimension to it. Leon wrote a beautiful song. But I prefer this version.
There is only ONE: DONNY HATHAWAY.
Hands down!
Leon Russell had a slight speech impediment caused by an injury at birth. If you watch a live performance you can see it. But I do love Donnie Hathaway's version.
I still prefer Leon Russell's version, maybe for sentimental reasons...but I LOVE this version too.
Finally! I was waiting for you to review my favorite artist. I bought his live album in 1972, when I was 14, and it redefined music for me.
Now please review some songs from his live album. They are all great!
A great Leon Russell song
Donny’s voice is beautiful 🎶❤️
Covered by others
Andy Williams
Ray Charles
The Carpenters
Many more
Flawless.
So beautiful. He also did an incredible cover of John Lennon's Jealous Guy.
A lot of people had covered Leon Russell song and done very well… Donny Hathaway is at the top of the list❤🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️
Great request Michell Michelle. I had not heard this smooth and excellent cover of this song written by the great Leon Russell. I remember Donny more for his hits with Roberta Flack, especially Where is the Love. This is a great request for our two love birds. It’s such a heartfelt plea for forgiveness and love. I was just waiting for them to crack. 😭 This Song really captures the essence of the rarity of each moment in a life that so quickly floats away and the importance of when we are together with the ones we love. 👍👍
where is my kleenex...
😂
One of my favorite songs, he,s on the same pantheon as my favorite singer Stevie Wonder, thx old school Michelle. Us 60 year Olds came up in a fantastic Era, didn,t we! Clayton
Another great singer I like is Michael Frank,s/ Down in Brazil album or Dragon Fly etc! Ps Woman in the Waves too off Blue Pacific!
Great choice. Leon wrote this great song, but in my opinion , Donny found the essence of the song and conveyed it perfectly. For all Leon Russell fans , visit The Church Studio in Tulsa, OK. Leon bought the studio and it is a museum dedicated to Leon as well as a working studio. The people will guide you through the facility and give you information and insight on Leon. RIP Donny. RIP Leon.
I have to agree😢😂❤
It's a shame because just when the world started to recognize his genius he was gone 😢
He was fighting demons but what a beautiful person he was
His duet of I (Who Have Nothing) with Roberta Flack is sublime. His version of Jealous Guy is really quite the thing too.
Beautiful love the Live version also so soulful powerful song.
Im so glad I found your video of this Amazing song. One of the songs that shaped and inspired my writing. I thought I was the only person that ever caught the Chopin inspiration in the scale downs... Great catch...
Donny was responsible for so many hits for close to a decade straight before he tragically died
Its such a perfect and powerful song that its been covered by some of the very best vocalists. Mick Hucknall/Simply Red is my personal favourite. Particularly his version on the CUBA! live album.
you should also see ..I love you more than you'll ever know (live) by Donny I'm sure y'all would enjoy! guitars are incredible and the vocals of course
This is Leon Russell's song sung beautifully by him, covered by Donny Hathaway and Ray Charles also sung beautifully by them. I love those 3 versions.
I loved this for you lovebirds. Thank you. I’ve enjoyed many covers of this iconic song - from Leon Russell to Donny. “And if my words don’t come together, listen to the melody cause my love’s in there hiding.”
I’m in the middle of a big family reunion visit and I’ll play this for then. Hugs 😽💖
Enjoy your family!!! 💗
Thanks, Friends. Busy now. I’ll listen again later. 😽💕
Thank you Michele Michele for requesting this beautiful song. Although I usually prefer Leon's original version, this is off the charts moving. Donny's voice is incredible and he used it perfectly to underscore the loving message that the lyrics bring. Thank you so much Nick and Lex for reacting to this tune. You had me in tears too😢🧡
I've been a fan of the Carpenters since they came on the music scene in the 60's so of course their cover of A Song For You is my favorite. I had no idea Donny Hathaway covered this song as well. What a beautiful interpretation. The Leon Russell original is a wonderful performance as well. What I love about the Carpenters version are of course Karen's voice but also their rich harmonies which they use sparingly in their cover.
You’re a lucky man, Nick. I wish someone would look at me the way Lex looks at you.
Check out his Grammy award winning daughter, Lalah Hathaway. She has a nice song with Snarky Puppy.
Ray charles does this one justice
Donny and Gladys Night did a beautiful, touching duet - The Closer I Get to You. Have the tissues handy.
It was Roberta Flack not Gladys Knight.
Donny was at college and shared a room with the great soul artist Leroy Hutson, who you should also investigate! Donny was such a great artist and with a soulful voice that was so good. I think he never made it really big as talented as he was due to vocally sounding often like Stevie Wonder! He had more Gospel tones in his voice than Stevie though. Mark GV - Reference Point
Sorry, it was Roberta FLACK not Gladys who sang with Donny on The Closer I Get to You. Still great.
This is my man. Talented to the core!
Leon Russell wrote it and sang it but it was covered by lots of artists-this version is very soulful - Donny was a talented singer and really a tragic figure
Finally found this couple! I remember seeing y'all's reaction to Joni Mitchell's Case of You a long time ago. Instantly recognized y'all again. New subscriber.
Donny touched the depths of your soul when he sang this song!!!! You got to be in touch with your spirit person to feel where he was coming from when he was singing it!!! Leon Russell tried but he never got there!!
One of the best covers of this classic song by Leon Russell ever made. Donny's voice is terrific, but I prefer Leon's version a tiny bit more, mainly because of the grit and passion. ❤✌
A great version of this song. But, as others have stated, Leon Russell’s version is the master version.
Also, the Carpenters version is special as well.
Donnie was a musical genius gone way too soon. My favorite Christmas song is a Donnie Hathaway sone, This Christmas.
Donny did a great cover of Leon Russell's "Song for You". Another great cover Donny did was Al Kooper's "I love you more than you'll ever know" from Blood, Sweat, & Tears first album th-cam.com/video/jb0m8XL_7yE/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful song, although I prefer the original.
Would love your opinion of the original by Leon Russell #nicknlexrequest
I deeply respect Leon Russell but no, Donny Hathaway took this song.
Chakra Khan cover this song too..check it out

A shame not to be exposed to Leon’s own superior version. This does not really do it justice, actually quite contrived comparatively, IMO.
I know music is subjective but how can anyone say donny isnt the best version. Listen to that voice….
To each his own.
lol Leon wrote a great song, but he isn't a vocalist.
