I Don't Think There's A Better Male Vocalist Than Donny Hathaway

[Hathaway]

I've tried. He's my #1 vocalist of all time.

Love You More Than You'll Ever Know
For All We Know

I Know It's You

His voice epitomizes depth, soul and emotion. I've cried so many times to his songs. His voice is so heavy with pain, experience and feeling and his live album is probably the best live album I've ever heard. I wish he lived longer. He definitely would've been had a legendary career. All the old head goats revered him. Quincy called him a genius. Stevie praised his talent.

He had no weaknesses as an artist. He was a gifted piano player. As a vocalist, he had no equal. He was a masterful composer. He composed the entire soundtrack for the movie Come Back Charleston Blue with Quincy Jones. He was gifted with the pen. And his live performances were like Sunday morning.

If you've never listened to him, take the time to listen. If you're a lover of soul, R&B, jazz, blues. Check him out. The 70s was an amazing time in black music.

I agree. He sung Whats Going On better than Marvin Gaye did, mercy

It’s a toss up between Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross & Stevie Wonder

Stole the words from me, came to say this. I wouldn't argue with anyone who thinks it's Donny but I thought it was Luther.

I post this song way too much but it's my favorite of his. Chilling!

Marvin and Sam Cooke for me. I didn't realize just how crazy Marvin could blow until I listened to the vocals separated from the music.
