Never My Love: The Anthology

Donny Hathaway

Audio sample : Sunshine Over Showers (unreleased song recorded on Dec 13th, 1975)

Donny Hathaway around 1975

Written by William Peterkin, Sunshine Over Showers was recorded on December 13, 1975 at Total Experience Studios, in Los Angeles, a studio founded by Lonnie Simmons, a Funk producer/manager/label owner who is best-known for his work with The Gap Band. This 4 minutes and 38 seconds song is a beautiful ballad with soft guitar & electric piano chords divided in three parts. At two-and-a-half minutes into the song, Donny briefly changes gear and morphs into a mid-tempo funk number before resuming its original tempo. Definitely, one of Donny Hathaway best studio performance and is included in the forthcoming great 4 CD box called Never My Love : The Anthology available worldwide on November 11th, 2013 in limited edition. Thank you, once again to Warner France for this sample.

Warner Music France has posted on youtube a 1:43 min other sample from the forthcoming 4CD boxset Never My Love : The Anthology. This never heard before demo song is called Latin Time. This 6 minutes & 13 seconds instrumental song was probably recorded in 1974 or 1975. If someone has more info about this song, drop me a line.

Audio sample : Let's Groove (unreleased track recorded on Jan 11th,1974, Record Plant - New-York, USA)

Never My Love - The Anthology - Warner UK 2013

Seven years before Earth Wind & Fire, Donny Hathaway recorded a song called Let's Groove at the Record Plant in New-York City on january 11, 1974 (Atlantic master tape #28337). This 6 minutes and 41 seconds song is totally different as you can hear below, jazz oriented. That day, No Other One But You, Going Down & The Essence Of Destiny were also taped (you could hear these songs on the french boxset called Someday We'll All Be Free - check the link above). Donny performed with Ron Carter on bass, Chuggy Carter on percussion, Grady Tate on drums and more great musicians. Today, Warner France has posted a 2 min sample for all the fans. Thank you guys !
