You Should Hear Donny Hathaway

Donny Hathaway has been a big inspiration to my music. If you haven't heard Donny before, check out the videos below. He won a best pop Grammy in 1973 for "Where Is The Love," a duet with Roberta Flack. Sadly, six years later he committed suicide. He left behind some amazing soul/r&b/funk music, though. I'd suggest checking out his album called "Live."

Donny Hathaway - "The Ghetto" (Live)



Donny Hathaway - "You've Got A Friend"



Donny Hathaway - "Someday We'll All Be Free"

Hathaway sighting: As you know, my current infatuation with Amy Winehouse runs very deep. Here's a couple lines from her hit song Rehab:


Cos there’s nothing, nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway
