What They Didn't tell you about Donny Hathaway's Death 

Obviously you care or you wouldn't have slimed into the comments. ​@onionhemingway-oc1pq

It is time now for us to honor ourselves and each other and not wait for others to deign a touch on the shoulder as a show if appreciation. We, the talented ones should now cut the strings, remember who we are, and do the things that divine self awareness and self love inspire.

shut up​@onionhemingway-oc1pq

He is not in Hall of Fame 😢

@@darrenjohnson7857 sadly and unfortunately no. But he definitely deserves to be in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

The same for me.

Me too

Same here. Aretha Franklin's version in the end credits of the film Malcolm x got me weeping.😭

I still can't get thru that song without shedding a tear to this day! 😢 I love him! 😢

I can't remember the first time, but I do recall that song causing me to grieve Sasha's death in The Walking Dead show, which was a character I wouldn't have otherwise grieved. Which ultimately proves my theory that music ABSOLUTELY AND UNDISPUTEDLY influences emotions, and emotions influence actions, especially the actions of the inexperienced. That being said Modern day POPULAR blck music is mostly self destructive denigrative trash, and it IS influencing our kids and young adults, and this is facts no matter how many times people disagree. BRING BACK RREEAALL BLK MUSIC✊🏾

Allegedly, Roberta was in the room when it happened…

@@MrBean617 As much as I have kept up with his story over the years, this the first I heard of Roberta being there. Never heard this mentioned before, are you sure?

@@lexdee523 I’m positive. I read about in ‘04. I’m not saying it’s true, though.

Roberta Flack said he was acting normal when he scored a song together that day

​@@MrBean617She said she left him after they finished producing a song

You are absolutely 💯.

I definitely agree with you

I agree. Stress and trauma can trigger schizophrenia. The music industry is a dark demonic place.

Agreed, he definitely was tampered with - they feared that he could bring masses together. - something doesnt add up. This guy could bring out your last tear weeping like a baby just with his voice. A proper angel and the powers that be knew it.

That's cause someone drugged him with some form of LSD 💯

Amen ❤

I learned that Donny married Eulalia Vann. She also had a beautiful voice but was kind of a wallflower. I also taught a relative of Roberta Flack in my very early days as a music teacher.

I saw Lalah in concert. I'm a big fan.

@mdmcdd1117 Wow, that's wonderful! I'm jealous. lol Seriously. I'm happy you got to see her. I'm a big fan, too! 💛😊

"Hmmmm," the number "33" should make your skin crawl. Especially when it comes to the industry.

​@@idontknow7738Exactly 💯

​@@idontknow7738OKAYYY, I WASN'T gonna say it..BUUUTT😏💁🏽‍♀️

@morrishartman5686 They always use their "code" numbers when they do their rituals. 😢 DH's death never sat well with me, especially when I researched his history and his death while he was in the industry. Very sad. 😢 The industry is very evil and demonic. I think most people know that by now. DH probably didn't want to play that game.

Amen 🙏🏿

Donny Hathaway was the real deal in his time.god bless 🙏 his soul in heaven.

🙏🏾💐💐💐🙏🏾

My brother has paranoid schizophrenia, and used to periodically quit taking his meds, claiming he didn't like the side effects and didn't need to take them, only to go crazy all over again. His sickness took a terrible toll on my parents, myself and anyone close to my brother. Life is incredibly cruel at times.

My brother took his life in 1980 and he was crazy about Donny, he was a manic depressive.

Keep the faith 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Often imitated, but never duplicated. He was a musical genius! 🎶🎤🎶🎹🎹🎶🎤🎶

I most certainly agree!

I love you more than u will ever know!! One of my all time favorite ❤️ greatest soul crooner ever

AND let's not forget David Ruffin and Gerald Levert.

@@whatyousay9816 Yep. Two more of our talented brothers. I don’t care about David’s private life, no one can say that he wasn’t talented. I grew up in the Temptations Smoky Donny, (and others who could really SANG so I’m kinda spoiled and tend to shy away from most of today’s “music “😄😄Back then talent was the norm, now there are very few and most are studio artists who sound like 💩in person.🤦🏾‍♀️

That’s crazy I feel the same way

Let’s hope he made it into the hall of heaven than a useless rock and roll hall of fame.

Glory glory may his soul be at rest with the lord🙏🏿

Mental illness can cause suicide. Study facts bud.

Right…he said what was happening and people still on that schizophrenia stuff.

​@adriannejohnson4176 👍🏽💯👍🏽 Finally, someone else who can also "overstand." I can't believe that people can''t "overstand" how wicked the entertainment/music industry is. The only thing they know how to do is "understand." Very sad! 😢

@kingdomstylefilms ▪︎ 👍🏽💯👍🏽 No, he sure didn't. Finally, someone else who can "overstand." 😘

@@idontknow7738 Yes, Yash Qaraah put me d many years ago, the stories used to sound crazy because it was new to me. But I knew he was telling the truth…he even said what was going on with Puffy and Cassie many years ago and look, the shit came out recently. He was the first to put everything out there.

I like Back Together Again.

For me it's Thank You Master For My Soul - that is so underrated

Yes! That's one of my favorite songs too!

My pleasure!

That's my favorite one too

Bullshit. Show articles and links.

​@@MultiSuperguy101 There is a giant body of information that you have apparently never encountered. Try approaching this topic with a little more curiosity and a smidgen less intellectual comfort. ( Reflex-Deflecting ideas from people who are less articulate) There ARE military intelligence applications for mis-used psychiatry. Please study in depth first and then come to your own conclusions later : you can start with the handiwork of Harold Alexander Abramson, psychiatrist & pediatrician-allergist. He was the Supervising psychiatrist for Frank Olsen the target discussed above. Harold A. Abramson was notorious only for his LSD experiments but..... He was financially involved with founding child research facilities and was a consultant to many inpatient research centers similar to C.A.R.I.H. for the apparently "philanthropic study" of (aka studying trauma reactions to Total Liquid Ventilation, or waterboarding) of pediatric asthma patients. Hence the connection between immunology and psychiatry. His dual qualifications were later on smudged over and erased by disambiguating and dissociating Harold Abramson versus Harold A. Abramson. There are SO MANY other examples like this. Please study the handiwork of Louis Jolyon West, who had control over Mario Savio, an instigator Campus Free Speech movement, while Mario was interned at an inpatient facility at UCLA neuropsychiatric. See page 499 "Epilogue" to 2012 book by Seth Rosenfeld "Subversives", a book that uses no anonymous sources and no fictionalized accounts -- only FOIA documents released by FBI after three decades of legal battle. After that, please furthermore take a look at the handiwork of Martin Orne, a founding member of FMSF, false memory syndrome foundation. A foundation whose express purpose was to establish in the public mind the falsity of memory aqcuired under traumatic conditions. Please study the legal and scientific handiwork of Elizabeth Loftus versus the testimony of Nicole Taus, please look at the handiwork of Pamela and Peter Freyd - compare against the testimony of their daughter Jennifer Freyd. Richard A. Leo, an interrogation specialist aka False Confession specialist. Richard Ofshe, formerly professor at UC Berkeley. Colonel Michael Aquino, not reprimanded for Presidio Daycare Scandal of 1991 but instead transferred and promoted into the N.S.A. The horrifying fact is that, YES, Academic studies *can* be biased or falsified by people who need funding to further their careers. Science under these conditions is no longer actually science. So please dont feel overly comfortable with everything you think you know.

Happens all the time. Your point?

His death always gave me the side eye. 👀👁👀

@@idontknow7738 i love donnys voice his 🎹 playing is outstanding he was laugh love of his era Mr Hathaway still playing loud

@user-md8of9yj1d He was a musical genius. And, he was at the prime of his career when he died at 33. What happened to him, I do believe it was a set up. He was under "mind control" is the reason why people say he had schizophrenia. He was having a mental breakdown because he was breaking through the "mind control" and his "handlers" couldn't handle him anymore. It was because they wanted his music catalog. Just like they did with Prince. Smh. Very sad! He was a musical genius, songwriter, and vocalist as well. Very sad. These people are very diabolical! Smh. 😢

@@idontknow7738 the way he played piano is hard to believe he had any wrong in his mind . This is one of thee only musicians that make the back of my mind spark when you hear 🎹

@user-md8of9yj1d He was more than talented. He was "GIFTED."

I’ve always thought the same thing too. I think the voices told him too or he was trying to escape the voices and stuff. Mental illness is such a horrible disease. And they didn’t have the resources, meds , etc back then that they have now. And like most ppl they take the meds till the start feeling better. Then stop once they think they’re ok. It’s sad. He was such a talented musical genius. In such a short period of time. He left such a powerful impact on the musical industry and the world honestly. He’s definitely one of my favs!

I believe that he was set up.

@@justanadams9430Be fucking quiet

​@justanadams9430 Finally, someone who knows. I can't believe that people don't know how the entertainment/music industry rolls. I doubt he had schizophrenia. Something else was going on. I'll just leave it at that. P.S. He was only 33 when he died. That number, by itself, speaks volumes. 😢

​@@idontknow7738 It's hard to accept the tragedy of untreated mental illness, but making up conspiracy theories doesn't help one to heal. He wasn't on his medication for schizophrenia and that resulted in his death.

👍🏽💯👍🏽 Please tell it to the ones "all the way in the back."

😮I really don't believe Donny was killed. This beautiful man suffered from a mental illness that is so cruel it spins the person who suffers from it in so many directions. It is heartbreaking to watch.❤ My brother was diagnosed when he was 20 yrs old. One time I saw him sitting on my mom's bed. She was trying to encourage him in some way and then I walked in the room and saw tears streaming down his face. I'd never seen my brother cry ever. I knew then that he was tired of the fight, and the meds which he was initially taking at the time sucked and didn't help. I knew why. This was my big brother who would come to my rescue whenever someone would pick on me. I don't know if Donny fell or he jumped but I just know in my heart that he had to be tired.😮 It's one thing to be tired in body but quite another to be tired mentally. Many of us have been there. But no, I just do not believe he was killed. It's so important that we educate ourselves about mental illness and be willing to see it for what it is so that we can get in the fight, not forcibly but lovingly, athough at times the loves gonna have to be a bit tough. We have to pay attention when we notice things are off with them so that we can talk to them about it and really listen and offer to go with them to talk to someone. We want to help them find effective treatment early before they're so far gone that getting them to get the help becomes more difficult😮. My brother passed away some years ago, but he let me pray for him as he accepted Christ into his heart. I know I will see him again one day and he will be perfect, even more beautiful than the big brother who left us.❤❤😊 Rest in paradise brother until we meet again. I love you, man!!! Glad you're at peace❤

Be quiet

Spiritual people do not commit suicide 😮

@@darrenjohnson7857 I’m not gonna answer you so much as I’ll let you sit with that one.

@@loirinlancaster3 I read your answer * I agree

Roberta should have stopped tell him to leave his family for her now she suffering

He continuously stopped taking his meds-very common in people with schizophrenia… Learn the facts before you blame everyone BUT the patient!

@@renee5331 that’s not what happened. At all! You morons just post garbage based on YOUR opinions-which are worthless.

Don't believe everything you hear when it comes to people who die that was a part of the industry. Research the history of the entertainment/music history. It will make your skin crawl.

"...needed was psychological help," in the US?! We've one of the worst mental healthcare systems in the world, and his illness was severe, and often gets worse as he gets older. Back then they would've just thrown him in an institution. So sad.

Exactly

@rochelletaylor4558 ▪︎ 👍🏽💯👍🏽 Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, etc., and the list goes on and on. Very sad! 😢

2 Pac, Michael Jackson et DMX disparus dans des conditions troubles

The music industry is so wicked, I wouldn't put it past them. And those insurance policies aka death policies they have on the artists make so many of the artists worth more dead than alive.

Conspiracy theories and UFOs.

Yes!! Exactly. 😢🥺 it’s sad how it comes to mind because We don’t wanna played doing big things in life, and knowing too much about life.

Sure was!

What man?

Right 👍🏾 she's a Witch! She did that to him 💯

Never cared for her.. weird vibes..

I see what you sayin yeah. 👀👀👀👀

He was murdered, by someone close to him, many involved 😒

​@@YAH-1nooo

The GOAT!

Nobody sounds like him, not even Lalah

Mental illness wasn't as understood back then and the medications had awful side affects so people often got off their meds and refused to stay compliant. Most religious people saw mental illness as a spiritual problem or the work of Satan rather than a mental/physical illness. Donnie and those around him more than likely did the best they could at that time. *speaking from experience due to my mom being diagnosed during that same Era while I was only 5 yrs old. 45 yrs later and here we are still struggling with her mental illness. Her story mirrors Donnie's to a tee. Praise God my mom has made it to 71 yrs old but I have to keep her compliant by my own hand. RIP Donnie. Gone and never forgotten. Mental illness is such a sad dis-ease. 😢

They did. His illness wouldn't allow him to stay compliant. He kept getting off his meds once he felt well and was stable again. Sad😢

His illness was the industry. 😉 Things that make you go, "Hmmm."

Got that right 👍🏾

People are still sleeping on the industry. 💤😴💤 Per Teddy Pendergrass, "wake up everybody. 🥸 No more sleeping in bed." 💤😴💤

Yep 👍🏾 for surrreee..

Finally somebody gets it-this man was murdered just like prince Michael, Sam, Marvin…et al dead ass! Let’s smarten up yall

👍🏽💯👍🏽Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, etc. The list goes on and on. Very sad! 😢

We know family 😣😪 these evil monsters killed him just like they murdered all our other great ANCESTORS may they all rest in peace forever with the Ancestors 🌹🤲🏾🙏🏿♥️😪
