  • Donny Hathaway created a classic with his vocal styling. Like too many great artists, he left us so young.

  • This man was great!!

  • OMG! I LOVE this SONG! SO BEAUTIFUL, SO SAD, so GREAT, a song that withstands the test of time, & DONNY'S version is NO EXCEPTION! LOVE him, Leon, Elton, no one, & nothing can ruin this song! RIP DONNY! GOD BLESS!

  • @Darquechild: Oops, I stand corrected.  Thanks. So it isn't the original version

  • And AMY winehouse!!!

  • This is the ONLY one as far as I'm concerned .....

  • whitneyluv96: It should be....its the ORIGINAL version

  • @Cordog1111 Actually, it isnt. Leon Russell did a kinda soft rock ccountry version of this before Donny...but it doesn't sound anything like this....

  • Beautiful!!!

  • HIs daughter did an awesome job also!

  • Chokes me up everytime I hear it....You really believe that he loves her.

  • this is probally one of the best versions. this one and whitney!

  • This is some REAL man stuff right here! It takes a REAL man to express this DEPTH of love to his lady....I feel the same way about mine, so I sing this to her all of the time!

  • nobody can take away what Donnie sings in this song it is truly spectacular! Others may do an incredible job but.....Donnie is first. If you like instrumentals listen to Kirk Whalum"s version from His Everything is Everything album>

  • nobody can take away what Donnie sings in this song it is truly spectacular! Others may do an incredible job but.....Donnie is first.

  • this version is good but if you like this then you have to check out amir at the apollo version he kills it

  • Another great vocalist and performer that the world is so sadly without. R.I.P. Donny Hathaway. You are missed so very much.

  • A "CLASSIC" FOREVER!!!!

  • THIS IS MUSIC

  • I love you in a place where there's no space or time....dear God...Leon Russell's words and the utter soulful singing of Donny...so incredible, unmatched...entirely different take than the incredible Ray Charles version...this one just seems more heartbreaking...

    We were alone....and I was singing this song to you...

    Thank you Donny...for letting us feel this beauty...and sorrow...

  • What an awesome song... Can't listen without playing it at least 5 or 6 times in a row! Love it....

  • A beautiful soul who died much too young...we miss you Donny...

  • I was about 15 when I turned on the radio one New Years Day morning and learned that he had jumped to his death. At that time, the only song of his that I was familiar with was "The Closer I Get To You".....I felt such a loss...I got the feeling that it really wasn't supposed to be his "time".

  • great song Donny was the man

  • Everytime when i listen to this song i could cry....

  • This is the most beautiful song...voice! Sung with passion & feeling...Touches my heart deeply.
