This brotha was tight. Him, Smokey, Sam Cooke, Teddy Pendergrass, those guys were true artist . They could sing without music. The clowns you see today no nothing about being a gentleman, showmanship, or even how to dress. These guys truly sang from their soul, something these young cats know nothing about.
I love this song, I am not young but I still wanna say, anything combined with notes and beats are called music. there no such thing is "real music" or" fake music" .just you like it or not. listening to B.B king doesnt mean you are the real music linstener.
My comment was not even going that way, YOUNG OR OLD truth be told, a real listener of music, sees, feels, and overstand the difference of todays music and lyrics, versus the OL SKOOL era...it was simply a COMMENT. BB KING has nothing to do with it...hathaway was, and is still an ICON of music..simply PUT!!
I'm extremely young however this is one of my favorite songs in the world, i play it and sing it all the time. for the most part you're rite but not completely.
I agree. BUT, there are other forms of legitimate music as well. Don't hate. But, let's admit, Donny was one BAD Mother F(&^#%#$ (to use the parlance of the day). He was scary! Much respect to this great artist! I am doing my best to spread his name. )
I miss him. No one has come close to duplicating him. Leilah has the same smooth as silk voice as her father.
