After a few past Cover Wars appearances, the Ryan Montbleau Band can now claim a victory after scoring the majority of votes from last week’s edition when we looked at ten covers of John Lennon’s Jealous Guy . I wouldn’t be a responsible writer if I didn’t point out that Donny Hathaway also deserves much credit as Montbleau’s cover is part Lennon part Hathaway. This week we’re taking a look at seven...

Continuing with Donny Hathaway, obviously without wanting to do Roberta Flack injustice. The two knew eachother from university and recorded a lot together. This is from the early 70's and they recorded again around the time Donny Hathaway chose to end his life, in the meantime they had a fall out, presumably thanks to Hathaway's mental state. This album is quite comparable to the other

[Editor's note: This post is one in a series from Rock the Trail Reporters on what kind of music inspires them to rock the vote.] Soul singer Donny Hathaway is the reason I spell my name with a "y" and not an "ie." His songs reflect a lot of the troubles I go through while still making me feel hopeful. He deals with fear, acceptance, death, faith – things that aren't just on my mind, but on the minds...

His grandmother thus had a profound influence on the musical shaping of young Donny but she also had a...

The name Roberta Flack conjures up thoughts of her numerous classic duets with friend and frequent partner Donny Hathaway (and later Peabo Bryson), but the biggest songs of her career were actually her solo hits "The First Time Ever...

f rom Critical Noir @ Vibe.com And the Winner is...Donny Hathaway, Mr. Soul by Mark Anthony Neal I've spent better part of that last 20-years--what seems like a lifetime--trying to write about Donny Hathaway. It's not as though I haven't written about Hathaway, but Hathaway's music, his Soul really, demands a level of emotional commitment that, frankly, overwhelms the logic of my vocations as writer...
