Donny Hathaway Video Live

this so rare
There is a Bootleg DVD-R Japan out
of this gig.



You can see The magic as Donny directs the track
raising his hand at the conclusion.
Quincy Jones had helped Donny on the Soundtrack of the same year.

As well as the Quadraphonic LP , there was a Quad 8 -track tape.
I wish this mix could be converted into DTS 5.1 disc.


I miss Donny
as he has something special in music.

Wow! What a treasure find!
You're right, Colin... Finding anything of
this sort by D.H. is rare indeed! Awhile back
I couldn't find a single youtube clip of him and
only a few pictures on the internet.

This is a real joy to see and watch!

Good lookin out, Colin.

They even had Quadraphinic Reel to Reel.



And Donny Hathaway
with his band
with the Young Earl DeRouen on congas,
Earl went on to Stevie Wonders band
for many years

Great stuff, Colin.

Ever notice how the original version of Papa Was A Rollin' Stone took the riff from The Ghetto? Here they are:

With news today of George Duke's passing, Donny being gone only adds to my sadness. Its time to celebrate life when folks are still with us. Even more so when you know them personally (and/or) have worked with them on stage.
