This voice touches so much our soul! Well i'm a brazillian guy, and in my discoveries beyond what we listen to on radios, i discovered this blessed artist more then i used to, since that one of the most known song of him it's with Roberta Flack - Closer i get to you, plays so much on classic song's radio of my city. He deserves to get much more recognition and respect in music due to his contribution to american soul music and big influence.

Lalah looks just like her dad...spitting image...wow..The world has lost a genuis with the gift of writing and recording. As we have lost so many of our true pioneers of music and the fight for democracy.. I'm feeling sad right now. Listening to this song brings back so many memories of the struggle of a people. A song of my high school years.. 11th grade. I remember so well.

They night he dead he was recording and just stop playing and was on the foot in fetal position, The producer said that’s a rap the producer walked to the hotel, And we all know what happened from there, I’ve had depression my whole life a few attempts to take my life. Mental illness is the worst like me spent Christmas & New Years Eve, Mental I’ll ness wants us to be alone so he can make his moves until we give up and leave this earth, I Love when people say go to a Therapist and what’s going to make us go to a Therapist ... But why didn’t anyone one stay with him the whole night after the Therapist stay by him all night instead we lost one of the greatest singer of are generation and generations to come Thank You Donny for sharing the time you had on earth with us !!! And Layla can sing Great you would be so so proud of her... You are Greatly misses Donny listening to your live album on of the Greatest live albums of all time !!

I think this is the live rendition put on the French boxset entitled "Some Day We'll all be Free", it's Donny's most expensive compilation of songs to date. It's $61 on Amazon. Seems steep, but It's without a doubt one of the most beautiful items one could own.
