Ain't that the truth, sistahfriend? His duets with Roberta Flack...OMG.

My all time favorite Donnie/Roberta duet is "You Are My Heaven".
I can listen to that song over and over and over again.

You are my love
You are my Heaven
You are my love
Make me sing la-di-da
You are my love
You are my Heaven
Darling, I won't let them take you away.

I know I'm late on this, but I was singing the theme from the TV show "Maude" in rememberance of Mr. Hathaway.

*singing* "Lady Godiva was a freedom rider....."

I'm gonna bump this a little early(i would hate to forget this).........10/1/45 was the birthday of a legend..

RIP Bro. Donny Hathaway

BTW- If you havent heard his LIVE version of this song...you need to GET INTO IT

"To be young, gifted and black,
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black,
Open your heart to what I mean

In the whole world you know
There are billion boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black,
And that’s a fact!

Young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
There’s a world waiting for you
This is a quest that’s just begun

When you feel really low
Yeah, there’s a great truth you should know
When you’re young, gifted and black
Your soul’s intact

Young, gifted and black
How I long to know the truth
There are times when I look back
And I am haunted by my youth

Oh but my joy of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
Is where it’s at"
