Maybe Someday We Will All Be Free

As we continue the long fight for equality I often refer to a gem within my personal music collection. A song I grew up listening to and its embedded within my soul. An idea, a dream that so many of us continue working to make a reality. Maybe "Someday we'll ALL be free".

Just listen!



Remembering Donny Hathaway on his birthday, October 1, 1945. He was one of the best talents in the history of R&B music but depression and other health issues led to his taking his own life on January 13, 1979.

At the time of his death, he and his frequent duet partner Roberta Flack were recording music for a new album and this is my all time favorite of the Donny Hathaway-Roberta Flack duets, "Back Together Again".



Donny Hathaway was a fantastic live performer as heard in this recording of "Sack Full Of Dreams".



I could go on and on with Donny Hathaway selections but time only permits a few. So lets just say by using the title of another favorite by saying that I "LOVE LOVE LOVE" some Donny Hathaway music.
