Donny Hathaway - Everything is Everything

Pocos discos como Everything is Everything, primer álbum del grandioso Donny Hathaway, tiene todo el mejor sabor del soul y del gospel

La voz de Donny Hathaway es apasionada y dramática; y el acompañamiento, preciso, cohesionado, con el piano acústico o eléctrico, el bajo y la percusión bien arriba, aumentado por esplendidas voces de fondo y una suntuosa sección de vientos; remite como las mejores sesiones del género a un sonido urbano propio e irrepetible de 1970, año en que fue publicado.

A su vez, no es sencillo hallar grabaciones como ésta antes de esa fecha.*****
