L'album éponyme constitue le second opus de Donny Hathaway et fait suite à :
- Everything Is Everything (ATCO SD 33-332, 1970).
Les notes de son piano ont une inflection émouvante fortement émotionnel.
Ses attaques vocales sur "A Song For You" et "I Believe In Music" me bouleversent et m'enchantent à la fois.

Donny Hathaway_1971_"A Song For You" (A2)
"I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life on stages
With ten thousand people watching
[Chorus]
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you[Chorus]
I know your image of me
Is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you see through me?
[Chorus]
Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you[Chorus]
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love while holding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cuz my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
'Cuz you' re a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
[Chorus]
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you[Chorus]
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
'Cuz you' re a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
[Chorus]
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song
Singing this song to you"

Live dans l'émission The Flip Wilson Show
Si quelqu'un pouvait donner l'année d'enregistrement : 1976 peut-être, mention / info sur le copyright de l'émission. Merci.
Ce sujet après avoir entendu Kodi Lee (mal voyant - voit d'un oeil comme à travers un gruyère mais d'ultra près - et autiste... et gagnant en 2019 du concours) lors de son premier passage dans America's Got Talent 2019 reprenant à merveille et sensibilité "A Song For You" : son timbre me touche à un point sur ce morceau, je ne sais pourquoi.
Kodi Lee_2019_"A Song For You" (Live, America's Got Talent 2019)
La voix de Kodi Lee est fortement en adéquation avec le son de la musique noire américaine, un truc y ressort : il semble aussi être très réactif et réceptif au Gospel.
Comme a dit sa mère dans l'émission, la Musique lui a sauvé la vie.
