arX Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 Can we show some love for this wonderful artist and composer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHr9H5zyR5Q Quote
jazzbo Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 I'm a big fan. In my college time it wasn't a party unless "Donny Hathaway Live" was in a stack of records ready to be played. Quote
sgcim Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Huge fave of mine. One of the most soulful singers that ever lived, IMHO. I used to play "Sackful of Dreams" and "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know ' from the great "Live" LP for the hip-hop kids in my HS music classes, and they'd just say "Old School", and beg me to put on some Fifty Cent (a former student at my school, before they booted him out).

fasstrack Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Anyone seen the flick Come Back Charleston Blue? The soundtrack was written and performed by DH.BTW DH's daughter Lahla is supposed to be a great singer in her own right. Edited April 10, 2014 by fasstrack Quote
arX Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Posted April 10, 2014 Anyone seen the flick Come Back Charleston Blue? The soundtrack was written and performed by DH. I had Harlem Dawn playing as I stumbled across your post! (I've queued it to play between every dozen tunes in my playlist.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXkO9cWj3rQ He was a master. BTW DH's daughter Lahla is supposed to be a great singer in her own right. Indeed she is. She won a Grammy this year with Snarky Puppy et al for this astounding performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SJIgTLe0hc Check out her harmonic voicing at 6:12. Quote
