    Recommended Donny Hathaway: "FOR ALL WE KNOW" (a cover of a popular 1934 hit); "I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW"; "A SONG FOR YOU" (The Leon Russell classic also a hit for The Carpenters); "THIS CHRISTMAS"; "THE GHETTO Part 1"; "WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW LORD"; "SOMEDAY WE'LL ALL BE FREE"; All of his duet recordings with Roberta Flack including "BACK TOGETHER AGAIN" and "WHERE IS THE LOVE", a major pop hit of the 70's. Donny also sang the memorable opening theme song of the 1970's sitcom, "MAUDE" (Starring Bea Arthur).

    One of the most romantic songs ever, and performed with love and conviction by Roberta and Donnie. Even after all of these years, it feels like the first time when I hear it. Such simple but powerful lyrics. Everyone dreams of a relationship like this,. It was nice to hear the lyrics read after the song so that people could really appreciate them, line by line. This song will always stand the test of time.

  • @zanohoriamazo1

    They were an incredible team when they collaborated. Where is the Love was first, written by amazing percussionist, Ralph MacDonald, & as I remember attained popular radio airplay, meaning white folk enjoyed it too.😆. ‘Closer I Get’ was more of an r&b hit, though I’m sure some pop radio stations played it. They teamed up again like late 1970’s, with the album release, Back Together Again. You would love that song no doubt, & another from that album called, You Are My Heaven.
    That later success may be what made his tragic suicidal ending more painful. Apparently there had been some inner torment for years. As far as other songs by Donnie, I would say 2 are legendary: This Christmas, which has been covered by countless other artists including, Chris Brown & Christina Aguilera; & Someday We’ll All Be Free, which is practically like an anthem to any who have had to struggle as a people. Aretha also sang it as the finale of the Malcolm X movie. You should also hear his daughter Lalah Hathaway, do her song, Something, & then hear how she did it with the instrumental music group, Snarky Puppy.

    You should listen to Beyonce & Luther Vandross's Version. Just as Beautiful. Another song she did in the early days of her Career was "Killing Me Softly" later covered by The Fugees. She also did an amazing Cover of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles, then "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" later done by Leona Lewis.

      Also Donny Hathaway and Minnie Riperton (Maya Rudolph's Mother) were Two amazing singers who died too early before they could achieve real fame. Donny also did the Theme to "Maude" a Spinoff of All In The Family.

    @SpiderMcGee 3 роки тому

    Donnie Hathaway had a tragic ending in 1979, not long after this song was released, but he made some great music. His best performance in my opinion was "A Song For You", a Leon Russell song which has been covered by many artists.

    Try Alanis Morissette she is from Ottawa Ontario Canada and started in 1991 as a "Pop Dance Singer" Try these songs for something different, -TOO HOT -WALK AWAY -FEEL YOUR LOVE -PLASTIC -AN EMOTION AWAY -NO APOLOGIES..... She was then just listed as (Alanis) Only, she did not use her last name.
    (There are official videos for all of these songs listed here). Her first two albums were released only in Canada before she switch to "Alternative Rock" and became internationally known throughout the U.S. as well. When she came out with her "Jagged Little Pill" album her first two Pop albums were pulled from the store shelves and are very hard to find now. She does not anymore perform any of the songs from these first two albums.
    Alanis was in the 1993 film "Anything for Love" direct-to-video teen comedy film starring Corey Haim and Nicole Eggert. It was aired on television in the United States as "Just One of the Girls". Alanis is uncredited in the movie her song "Feel Your Love" can be heard near the end of the movie, when she and Corey Haim perform the song in concert at school. This film can be found in full to watch on UA-cam listed as "Just One Of The Girls".
