Donny did his own version of What's Going On on his "These Songs For You Live" album. Which Elliott quoted as being one of his favorite albums of all time.
I don't think it's about Elliott copying Donny Hathaway. I think that he is paying tribute more so than anything else. Right after Idol and at the time of his performances at the VA State Fair he didn't have his own material so why not do the music of someone he idolizes.
All your videos from that concert are excellent, and thank you for them. And my opinion - music feels unique and different for every soul. Where Elliott is concerned, he REALLY feels it, and its ALL GOOD.

He butchered a song of a legend.
Marvin is turning over in his grave with this rendition.

I like this performance, hopefully I'll be able to see Elliott soon! Once again and this time in his own concert. He's so talented and a great guy.

This man is stepping into the big leagues of soul music with this one, and thus far he's doing his thing. He's got the voice for it.
