In January of 1979, the great soul artist Donny Hathaway fell
fifteen stories from a window of Manhattan's Essex House Hotel in
an alleged suicide. He was 33 years old and everyone he worked with
called him a genius. Best known for "A Song for You," "This
Christmas," and classic duets with Roberta Flack, Hathaway was a
composer, pianist, and singer committed to exploring "music in its
totality." His velvet melisma and vibrant sincerity set him apart
from other soul men of his era while influencing generations of
singers and fans whose love affair with him continues to this day.
The first nonfiction book about Hathaway, Donny Hathaway Live uses
original interviews, archival material, musical analysis, cultural
history, and poetry to tell the story of Hathaway's life, from his
beginnings as a gospel wonder child to his final years. But its
focus is the brutally honest, daringly gorgeous music he created as
he raced the clock of mental illness-especially in the performances
captured on his 1972 album Donny Hathaway Live. That album
testifies to Hathaway's uncanny ability to amplify the power and
beauty of his songs in the moment of live performance. By exploring
that album, we see how he generated a spiritual experience for
those present at his shows, and for those with the privilege to
listen in now.
