I also was blessed to meet Donny Hathaway when I was a rare black student at Yale and a radio personality at WYBC as RAM (Ronald Arnett Matchett before becoming Muhammad Abdullah); I emceed Donny’s concert as I would do with Nina Simone. Both touched me deeply in their artistry and in their sharing the gifts God blessed them with. This young man captures the spirit with profound accompaniment as did Donny on that stage so many years ago - when all of us present experienced a moment that will never come again. Today, Donny’s daughter Lalah (particularly when accompanied by the now late great jazz master Joe Sample) sings this song with a texture and power, both amplified and subtle- where she sings her heart out - while telling us a story where, if we are fully present to the moment, we live it and feel it as she does. That is the realm that the great Artists inhabit, and the willing vessels they become and gift they bring that touch our hearts . I am getting goosebumps again. Thank you to all who share your gifts; whatever they might be, as you understand that our gifts are not just to us; but through us for the benefit of others. We are the fruit of the seeds you plant and nourish. Thank you 🙏🏽💕

Wow! beautiful voice man. you've a new fan. This is my favourite Donny song. Didn't think i'd like someone else doing it. But from the first note you had me!
Very well done. You took this song,and put into it what God gifted you with. You definitely brought this song to a level made us stop ,listen,and remember a moment in time. Your piano player slayed those piano keys. God bless you my brother. You are gifted, and sincere about your gift.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The young man on the piano made the keys speak. The young man singing did Donny hathaway proud. True musician and pure vocals. Superb
Beautiful job
Amazing! I'm 14 and I love love love (haha) Donny Hathaway so much. This cover is amazing

I knew his voice was good by how he was standing from the mic. Absolute best cover Ive heard of this song.
I've heard many covers of this song, and this by FAR the best. You sound just like Donny when you belt out some of those notes. Incredible.
Thank you. Donny is definitely one of my influences. I’ll accept this compliment!
Every heart can hear when God is present- particularly in one of love’s many faces - treasure each moment- for it will never come again
