#donnyhathaway #soul #slamminseven 45 years ago this week, Donny Hathaway died outside the Essex House Hotel in New York. As it is also the week in which we celebrate Martin Luther King Day it seems like an appropriate time to delve into the seven tracks that highlight the talents of a forgotten soul genius.
Join Dan Whitell for this instalment of The Slammin’ Seven where we take a look chronologically at the careers of one of the most tragic figures in 1970s music.
