Donny Hathaway: un auténtico hombre soul

Voz elegante, llena de espiritualidad y feeling. Interpretaciones con alma, que te hacen sentir y disfrutar con su música. Canciones que te obligan a abrir tu corazón y alcanzar un placer extrasensorial con sus notas..., así es como Donny Hathaway me hace sentir al escuchar su extraordinarias cualidades vocales. A través suyo el Gospel, el RnB, o el Jazz, alcanzaban una nueva dimensión ya que era un auténtico maestro fusionándolo. Parecía como si su desdichada vida -que le llevó al suicidio- necesitara una válvula de escape en forma de música que pudiera dar salida a toda la felicidad que no había podido disfrutar y que poseía en su interior.

Una imagen -y en este caso un video- vale más que mil palabras, por lo que aquí me place dejaros no uno, sino dos interpretaciones magistrales de este extraordinario hombre; "Put Your Hand In The Hand" en directo, y "Someday We'll All Be Free", exhalando toda la magia de un auténtico hombre soul.

Put Your Hand In The Hand Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea Take a look at yourself & you can look at others diff'rently Put your hand in the hand of the man from galilee Every time i look into the holy book i wanna tremble When i read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple See those buyers and the sellers were no diff'rent fellas Than what you & i profess to be And it causes me shame to know that man is not what he should be Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea Take a look at yourself & you can look at others diff'rently Put your hand in the hand of the man from galilee Hey my mama taught me how to pray before i reached the age of seven When i'm down on my knees hey i'm close to heaven." My daddy lived his life with 2 kids & a wife & you've got to do what you've got to do But he showed me enough of what it takes to see you through This is what he used to tell me... Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea Ya got'a take a good look at yourself & you can look at others diff'rently Put your hand in the hand of the man from galilee

Someday We'll All Be Free Hang on to the world as it spins around Just don't let the spin get you down Things are moving fast Hold on tight and you will last Keep your self respect, your manly pride Get yourself in gear Keep your stride Never mind your fears Brighter days will soon be here Take it from me, someday we'll all be free, yeah Keep on walking tall Hold your head up high Lay your dreams right up to the sky Sing your greatest song And you'll keep going, going on Take it from me, someday we'll all be free Hey, just wait and see, some day we'll all be free, yeah Take it from me, someday we'll all be free It won't be long, take it from me, someday we'll all be free Take it from me, take it from me, take it from me...
