Not a whole lot to say about this track other than LISTEN.
Don't
know where you are but it's been hotter than a snakes' ass for the last
couple of days in Domino-Land. Looks set to turn for the worse so enjoy
this beautiful bit of laid-back soul.
"Donny Hathaway Live" was
something I'd heard about as being one of THE best live albums ever and
it doesn't disappoint in any way, it's an incredible album. A supremely
funky band knock out 100% quality music, all killer no filler, recorded
over two nights in 1971. The really amazing thing about the album is
the audience, who sound like they're having the best night of their
lives and probably are. There are two classic bits - THE BEST soul-clap
ever on a 13 minute take of "The Ghetto", and the backing vocals on
this version of Carole King's "You've Got A Friend".
Donny Hathaway - You've Got A Friend (live)
Listen
to this at volume and if it doesn't soothe away your troubles and get
you ready for the weekend, then there's no hope for you. Listen to it
again!
