Donny Hathaway was truly a man of many facets in the music industry. First beginning as a songwriter, session musician, and producer for Curtis Mayfield’s Curtom Records in Chicago, he arranged and produced projects for Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield himself, and more. In 1969, he recorded his first ever track with singer June Conquest- ‘I Thank You Baby’ (1970). A deep cut worth revisiting, and one you can stream today. #DonnyHathaway #Curtomrecords #LegacyLivesOn | Donny Hathaway
