I feel the same way. My first boyfriend from 1955, stopped seeing each other in the ‘60s and got back together in ‘72, stopped seeing each other in the ‘80s, gave me away in my commitment ceremony on 02/29/96, made his transition on the same date in 2020, loved this song.

[@ClintScottFischer]

I'm facing one of the hardest times in my life, battling depression, a lost marriage and family, recently laid off from a job. I don't know where the road will lead, I know tomorrow is never promised, so to stay alive and well, I will wish everyone of you the greatest gift I can give you..my prayer, for you and your loves, your dreams which you feel are dead are never until you are. Your light shines in a corner of the world to someone's darkness, someone you may never see, but they see that light, through your words, from your soul you can reach them, even but one, to save their life and let them hold on to just one word, to keep them alive for just one more minute, to see another hour shine like the sun. To make it through the day, to kiss the sweet spot of their pillow before the night may close on all hopes. This is my prayer.

[@Cindydst81]

I hope God has smiled on you and, Blessed you with a reason to push through those hurdles. Here's to landing on solid ground!! Bless you! :)

So many beautiful things said about Donny by people here.. There's not much i can add.. Truly God given talent way ahead of his time taken from us way to soon!!! Iam sure he's in the front row singing praises to Our Lord in Heaven!!!

[@tanishabyrd6728]

lovely...tearz

[@havanakings]

You can't learn how to sing this way! The quality the voice control the perfect and the right amount of vibrato can be enhanced by a vocal teacher however the sweetness the pure resonance and the quality and sweetness of that voice was made by The Master Potter Himself God Almighty! God given talent is what you hear! RIP Donny you were going through some bouts of depression and you took your life one night but I know that Tho some might disagree I believe your in the Hands of The Master Himself!

[@jackbrick5885]

She really did

[@lindadmcknight2130]

Beautiful song then & now

[@NikkiSellsRealEstate]

The NBA All-Star Game and Jennifer Hudson's reendition (in honor and tribute of Kobe Bryant) of this song brought me here.

[@62percenthumidity]

This is gorgeous Donny Hathaway songs will teach you everything you need to know about musical composition

[@fredeb67]

You never hear music like this because he is singing un aided and there are musicians playing real instruments. No one pays to have an orchestra play behind them anymore.

[@LadyLyricsandMusic]

Heart breaking in it's emotion .... Donny knows exactly what he is singing about ... and the listener knows too..... what a voice... such depth.

[@leonlasko926]

one of the most gorgeous, beautiful voices of all time

[@tammybryant3565]

Great tribute to Kobe Bryant by Jennifer Hudson. She sang this song so beautifully. It was so touching! We will miss Kobe and Gigi! Praying for the families who lost their loved ones. May God be with you all. R.I.P. to a a legend and his princess! 💜🧡

[@jackiegadd650]

Still has me in tears when I watch Jennifer's tribute. She did this wonderful song justice. 💔

[@ravenmckinnon5526]

He had such a rich and beautiful voice. Can bring you to tears. So sad how he passed

[@tino0936]

For all we know we may never meet again, but I'm glad that we found the brightest Love in Donny.

[@bhathornbarnes]

I heard an American Idol contestant sing this tonight for the first time and it brought tears. I absolutely love it.

[@Betmcmullen]

Same!

[@beverlyburns2993]

The gentleman did an amazing job

[@hdezines]

Same here, it was beautiful.

[@donnalombardo1135]

Jennifer Hudson sang it as a tribute to Kobe and his daughter at the all star game as well it was beautiful

[@Coventina]

Still listening going onto 2024. Donny was a masterpiece!

[@ldgholman0824]

This is simply POWERFUL the mix of love and life just grabs your soul cause for all we know this love we share in this life maybe only but a dream

[@bantumother2656]

I miss Donny, we never got to really know him. I was so young when he was taken away from us I always request a Donny song from my son who can sing his songs Glad we have layla Hathaway

[@kimberlybrown3388]

His voice was pure and raw soul...so vulnerable, true soul. You feel every note, a masterpiece to say the least. What a gift from God to us all...Mr.Donny Hathaway.

[@karenfair5656]

My mom does. My dad passed away in March 2019. When she listens, and cries for my dear dad.

[@favoredloved2441]

GOD bless ya mom with Comfort 💗🕊️💗

[@blacktopty575]

Roll Bounce brought me here

[@ayf1983]

Underrated period piece, IMO. Just like Boogie Nights, it immediately whisked me back to those days. Late 70's great times.

[@lepoetress]

Me too. Fell in love with it from the 1st note. So sad mental illness took him away from us. Incredible artist. RIHP

[@blacktopty575]

***** The scene after Xavier and his dad had that emotional moment about his mother and the car his father was trying to bring back to life.

[@janoraholmes]

I heard this song sung a capella at a funeral. The words were so touching I had to find the original ❤

[@ftgudesignconstructionco.l9408]

This is not the original

[@ntandoshabangu3907]

The beauty is in its simplicity. One of the greatest male vocalists of all time❤

[@lindageorginarodriguez411]

I just love donney hathaway his voice was phenomenal

[@anaelledomitien2433]

wwww

[@bwanaPele]

Still here in 2023. Who's with me?

[@jont39]

Donny Hathaway is an absolute master hands down he's taken a jazz song makes it in a contemporary classical music form and sing it like no one could ever do he's done the impossible.

[@judithhartley9392]

I still remember this song from childhood, when my Dad would play and sing this. Magic! I miss and love you so much. 💫🎵❤

[@stephaniewilliams3526]

It's really hard listening to this great song without tearing 😢 up

[@ilenetruitt2098]

I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it. To know this kind of love makes life worth living. I love the man and his music

[@teamus5092]

Ilene Truitt amen...

[@zakiahart3919]

Love this song...learning to sing this while playing it on the piano right now.

[@marthacunningham2028]

Who's still listening in 2022?
