Lalah Hathaway: Everything Is Everything, Gebunden

Klappentext

The first ever biography of Donny Hathaway---one of the most influential soul singers of all time---written by his daughter renowned soul singer Lalah Hathaway and the legendary music biographer David Ritz

Hailed as a giant and a genius by his contemporaries, Donny Hathaway was only thirty-three when he died, and yet the mark he left on American soul remains indelible. His gifts would take him from inner-city St. Louis to the gospel circuit as a child prodigy, and from the halls of Howard University to Carnegie Hall and the top of the charts. He found fame with the treasured holiday classic "This Christmas," the beloved R&B track "Someday We'll All Be Free," his magical partnership with songstress Roberta Flack---gifting us unforgettable hits like "Where is the Love"---and his iconic album Donny Hathaway Live, which endures as a staple in the collections of music lovers worldwide. Still, his tremendous successes could not beat back the brutal struggle roiling within and, on a tragic night in January 1979, the world lost a superstar of soul.

Now his daughter Lalah Hathaway, a Grammy-winning recording artist in her own right, shares for the first time the complete, unvarnished account of her father's rich and tumultuous life as well as a loving tribute to his enduring musical legacy. She recounts unforgettable behind-the-scenes tales from his meteoric rise and confronts painful memories of the unchecked mental illness that would ultimately lead to the tragic loss of a father and a legend.

Drawing from her own intimate remembrances as well as previously unpublished interviews with countless luminaries of gospel, soul, & R&B, in Everything Is Everythingthe First Daughter of Soul Lalah Hathaway offers readers not only a candid and revealing portrait of one of music's most gifted and troubled icons, but also a joyous celebration of his lasting impact, both on the American musical canon and on the family he left behind.
