The Whispers - A Song For Donny Official Video

[3811iberis]

If listening to this doesn't cause your eyes to well up, and you don't feel this deep down in your soul, then you have no emotions, or feelings. This 70's R&B song tribute, and video, from this legendary R&B group, is simply, just pure class, R.I.P. Donny Hathaway, and Marcus Hutson...

[disc0b0bby1]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL-TIME........R.I.P GRANNY 

[OQUENDO1968]

This Is Incredible to see. How many Groups can sound and look this good after more than 30 years (actually more than 40) in this business? In 1978, I was 10 when They came out with 'Olivia'; in 2009, They came with 'Thou Art With Me', from their Gospel Album sounding just as smooth and wonderful as they did decades earlier.. Incredible Talent, Showmanship and Professionalism. Today's artists don't come anywhere close. Much Love and Respect to the Whispers. 2/21/12

[Shaquannahable]

These songs remind me of my childhood when my parents and family were altogether, sadly most of my family has passed away but ever time i play the Whispers it feels like they never left!!!!!Thank you Whispers for being a constant reminder of what I had and lost!!!!

[lynda000]

@Shaquannahable Thank's for sharing .. this song also reminds me of a sad time of my sisters tragic accident that took her life.. Whispers your music brings back lots of my past and what took place..... so I know what u went thru... sry for ur loss...

[davidlangzelli]

@Shaquannahable I'm very sorry for your loss I know how you feel most of my family also have died I just heard this song today Donny Hathaway was a great entertainer may he Rest in Peace. His music will live on forever. My little brother who was killed in a car accident 22 years ago was also named Donnie. This song made me think of my brother how much I miss him. Now our parents are with Donnie. There will always be a song that will remind us as we rely on God's strength .Rest in Peace Donnie

[FrankyDaFreak]

I remember when i first heard this, i was completely blown away, still am even today. It took me a long time to figure out who donny hathaway was..cuz i was still young kid when this was released on the Whispers album.. Great song, great subject.

[ILOVEMUSIC2MSV]

Listen to the words it will help you understand what Donny was all about. Boy do I miss this kind of music. It's ashame when you have to go to youtube to find it. The music of today is all about sex, not love. Does anyone know what L O V E truly is about. Movie stars are the worst, just like their careers, waiting for the right part to ACT out. What a wonderful way to honor Mr. Hathaway.

[HipHopcheerleader]

Donny Hathaway

[CAB4SHO]

I so liked this cause u got a 2 for 1......so much love.....!! I miss the good ole DAYS

[dorothywashington]

I love you Bunches. R.I.P. Sade Zamina Danmola. You will never be forgotten my sweet niece.

[teague7578]

The only people who could rightfully "dislike" this song, are those who do not have ears!

[1972blacksheep]

[Ninevah77]

Tribute from true hearts. To all who have/had 'clouds of darkness'.

[pepdogg513]

One of the most beautiful & warmest commemorative songs ever made, it just moves you in such a way, that you just thank & praise God for life, love, good times, and each other>

R.I.P Donny Hathaway

[IrisMG]

This is in the melody of Donny Hathaway's Christmas classic, "This Christmas", which he wrote. I have never heard this, and it's heartbreaking. What a beautiful tribute to a tortured soul. Lalah, you're daddy was some kinda special.

[mscouture2810]

@IrisMG His soul wasn't tortured, it was life that was torturing. Great song to commomarate a special individual, gifted, loved and always will be remembered R.I.P Mr.Hathaway Love always.

[IrisMG]

@mscouture2810 Whatever. You interrupted Tyrone Davis to send me this e-mail, so I appreciate that you had to try to change my opinion. You didn't, but I appreciate the attempt after two months. Thanks

[GhettoKarter1992]

@IrisMG, i heard some on the Bernie Mac Show once

[free2bpoppie]

four are lost!

Keep listening, you'll find out what this music means!

[TheChildofgod54]

Such a beautiful song to a very talented music genious!

[lenaegreen]

Yes this was real and Love was so true. Bluelight in the basement parties.

[gkarlene501]

OMG Valerie, Now that's goood music!!!

[nourdinefunkever]

j'adore Donny Hathaway , son style, sa voix d'or et son talent ne sera jamais égalé ! j'écoute cet artiste le plus régulièrement possible car il est un génie ! Merci de tout coeur aux Whispers ! un groupe de légende aussi !! J'invite toute les personnes à découvrir l'oeuvre de ces artistes !!!

[finegoldtube]

@nourdinefunkever \

You have great taste in music. Let me know the names of some artist that have soul too.

[DrNefarious545]

what a beautiful tribute the whispers did for donny. that song is so sad and beautiful

[jdunn85]

This song always makes me think how bad Donny H. was..what a great musician and song writer he was!!Very underappreciated!!!

[MrMiraaj]

pureness.

[emmettk]

Really cool to honor a fallen artist using his own music. A lot of people slept on Donny- he was truly great. Committed suicide in 1979 at the age of 33.

[nourdinefunkever]

merci les Whispers.. Your tribute is so wonderful and touch my sensibility.

RIP all this band and RIP Donny Hathaway.

[jeanpaim22]

[joynpayne]

The talents of The Whispers make thier dedication song to the memory of Mr.Donny Hathaway, just as very special as Mr. Donny Hathaway's musical genius was to us then and now. Thank you Whispers, then and Now (2010). I'm still touched by your meaningful lyrics of pure gold and soul!

[tomessyforme]

@paulistaclub No he had a mental problem that he felt that he could not handle all of the medication..He was a great singer and touched evveryone who heard his voice. Only Donnie knew and God why he took that way out. WE LOVE U DONNY!!!

[celticlarry]

ITS IN GODS HANDS-----AND ITS A LOVE THING

[neosoulmusiclvr]

Sounds just like their version of "This Christmas." 

[MsMissClassy]

Nice ass groove.

[iammadea2]

these guys without hopping all over the stage were sooooo smooth, do you see how they bring their mikes in sync to their mouths and then put them down again, pure talent and class, these guys are always a class act. they performed as a group.

[trezlorenz]

Simply the best!

[nightgrooveruk]

[faithful4]

The shy little Ghetto, boy. Yes, yes.

[Democrat64]

Melody sort of sounds like the holiday song, "This Christmas". Does anyone else hear that?

[jettdavett]

@Democrat64 it is

[shydmples]

@Democrat64 They did this song as a tribute to Donny using the melody of 'This Christmas'.

[najeenixonnixon]

They did a good job of making it original and not a cover of Donny's song.

[UltraPOPDJ]

@Democrat64

But of course! As a matter of fact I sometimes get this mixed up with their cover of his song "This Christmas" with this one!

[finegoldtube]

Great vibe. Portland, OR.

[lelam18]

substance!!!!!! just like grits. it sticks too you and take you a long way

[gwengoad]

Donnie I cannot believe you jumped... but if you did... I know where you landed... in Heaven
