for those who like donny hathaway he performed a very original and fabulous song called 'please be there' but not sure if it is on youtube.... concerning the guy singing along with roberta, ??? i did a research with the names at 5:57, i just found musicians names...so if someone happens to know who he is... he is probably part of a group like take 6 or .... but ????
PS thanx centralline toujours d'aussi bons extraits!
This is truly one of the last great performances of our time. Roberta and Donny started out in college and through all their different directions, they truly came back together again for a career booster for Donny and herself. Only wish the entire perfomance was shown.
i love the original, i love this too. roberta is the queen, donnie is a legend, this fula is awesome. what a treasure to have on you tube!!! thank you so much
ime in college but there is an outstanding marching band by the name of miller grove high school its posted up on you tube someone needs to check it out.
The song is very classic and very strong in people memories. That's why our ears are not so convinced with this new version, more jazz&chill than the disco original. I prefer, as all of you, the original. The brasses are missed.
Nice try, but I don't like the arrangement. Donny didn't have a ton of simple upbeat dancefloor tunes the way it was, so a song like this needs to be kept on the upswing.
It's hard to top Donny the way it is. The best way would be to stick to the arrangements and just sing. Elliot Yamin does the best Donny covers that I know of.
Ok Elliot Yamin is good, but there is a reason Donny was singing this song. He grew up in a time on racial prejudice at its height. Elliot does not even sing the song as good as this guy. He's a great singer, but there is no Caucasian person that will ever sing this type of soul, I know they think they have this soul, they try to sing like us, but unless their roots are in Africa, as Donny's were, it will only come half close never ever will it match.
Cont, This man sings with soul and Donny well Donny sung for the racial stress that his people were under, and unless someone comes from that kind of hurt, then they will never sing,as Donny sung many times, Quote, I'm singing this song for you" In case no one knows,"YOU", was the black race of people, the most oppressed people ever in history, who still feel Donny's pain today and deal with the problem of racism even today!
No sorry,Danny does not cover this as well as Donny,Rueben Studdard
Pretty darn good!! Roberta is still on the one!!! The guy, he good too! But baby, I will forever feel my DONNY HATHAWAY!! STRAIGHT OLD SCHOOL FOREVER!
A very admirable effort I must say, this one is real good for slow dancing with your boo. But being an old-schooler, I prefer the up-tempo original with the late, great Donny Hathaway. Thanks!
i like this version and new arrangement she did of this song!! does anyone have the whole show..i remember this..especially when she did "The Closer I Get TO You"
Simply beautiful singing.
