Donny Hathaway´s Donny Hathaway Live (33 1/3)

In January of 1979, the great soul artist Donny Hathaway fell fifteen stories from a window of Manhattan´s Essex House Hotel in an alleged suicide. He was 33 years old and everyone he worked with called him a genius. Best known for “A Song for You,” “This Christmas,” and classic duets with Roberta Flack, Hathaway was a composer, pianist, and singer committed to exploring “music in its totality.” His velvet melisma and vibrant sincerity set him apart from other soul men of his era while influencing generations of singers and fans whose love affair with him continues to this day.
