“Heart & Soul” – A Musical Tribute to the Life & Times of Donny Hathaway
Legendary soul singer Donny Hathaway suffered from severe mental illness, eventually resulting in his untimely death in 1979 at just 33 years of age. Hathaway’s legacy lives on in his music. His renditions of well-known songs include Leon Russell’s “A Song for You," and famed duets with Roberta Flack, “Where is the Love” and “The Closer I Get to You." Hathaway won one Grammy Award and was also posthumously honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019.
“Heart & Soul” is a multimedia musical tribute featuring a stellar cast of actors & singers performing Hathaway’s songs and telling his tragic story.
