I first stepped into Donny's songs when listening to his Jealous Guy version before I got this Nothing. Just fell in love with this song on the other side of the atlantic.

One of the few perks of working for minimum wage at a record store is adding to your collection at an exponential rate and getting a doctoral education on damn good music from co workers and customers alike. Kalamu, you were a frequent shopper during my era of employment. I always respected your encyclopedic knowledge of black music (especially anything recorded during 1964-1974). We had a dialogue that went something like this: “What’s the best Donny Hathaway album to cop?” “Me and Tiari wore this one out.” “The one with Roberta Flack?” “Oh Yeah, I who have nothing…Be real Black for me…” “Word?” I should have paid for that self-titled classic. A month doesn’t go by without me listening that man and woman’s recorded union. I’m just a no oneee with nothinggg to give youuu If there is a better collection of black love music on one disc; I haven’t heard it Asante Sana I remember standing in an asthma infested aisle at the now deceased “Tower Records.”
