The fasting showman Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I can't get over how timeless the arrangements are, it just doesn't date to my ears at all. Love the cover of 'Jealous guy' too. It's funny to think how sniffy I used to be about playing covers and then you see how a band like that could make all of those songs their own.

Dingus Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) A great album , for sure . The whole band is cookin' - especially Willie Weeks - and Donny was really at the peak of his powers , before his problems took over and obscured his immense talent . It's gratifying to see Donny Hathaways' reputation enjoy something of a renaissance in recent years - the fact that he suffered from and died as a result of severe mental health problems rather than substance abuse issues meant that the music industry found it a little awkward to celebrate his legacy compared to some other artists .

spongebob Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 All his available recording are just timeless - 'Extensions Of A Man' I am particularly fond of. Real soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
