"The singer Donny Hathaway has an impressive resume, playing political soul before Gaye, recording remarkable covers of songs by the likes of Nina Simone and John Lennon, arranging albums for diverse talents including Willie Nelson and Curtis Mayfield. Despite this, Hathaway is rarely mentioned in the same breath as other great ‘70s R&B singers—possibly because most of his creative output can be fit on four discs....
Depression derailed his career (and claimed his life), but [...] Hathaway's eclectic, politically charged soul music deserves a spot among 1970s R&B greats."
