DONNY HATHAWAY is one of the most important soulful vocalists from the 1970’s. Some of the greatest voices from that period would see their careers shortened from malady and tragedy. DONNY HATHAWAY suffered from severe bouts of depression. Similar to the beautiful and stunning PHYLLIS HYMAN, he would also commit suicide.
The duets he performed with ROBERTA FLACK are among some of the most timelessly romantic songs you will ever hear. DONNY HATHAWAY’s voice transcends the vinyl and plastic disks that he is recorded on. He is the essence of soul.
And may GOD rest his.
