Conversations With Marva: Artist Spotlight: Donny Hathaway

  • regina · 1 year ago
    Oh my, my, my! Please girl get out of my head! I was listening to Donny this past weekend and vowed to pull him out for OSF (When the theme fit). I love his voice, oh and him and Roberta together ... magic!
    the great ones always seem so tragic and troubled (Donny, Marvin, Frankie Lymon)...
    Great pick for your Artist Spotlight!

    Oh yea. Feels SO good.

    A Song For You..."I love you in a place where there's no space or time!" Girl, they just don't write them like this anymore!

    Great spotlight.

    As you know, I just saw Lalah perform live for a BETJ show taping. She has her father's magic.

    Oh Lawd! Miss Marva you done done it girl. There are 2 people whose voices can make me cry at the drop of a hat. Nat King Cole & Donnie Hathaway.

    Doesn't it though, V? Those songs cut through all the bullshit and go straight to the core of you...gooooood!

    I need to get out more...the last person I saw in concert was...hell, I don't even remember...was it Prince? I can live with that, but it's still been too damn long! :lol:

    He tears up that song from Sparkle...he is one of my very favorite male voices ever. My mom was a huge Roberta Flack fan, so I knew him very well early on.

    I used to listen to him all the time, but his music can be so very sad, so now I only listen once in a while, if just for his voice.
