Released in 1970, Everything Is Everything introduced Donny Hathaway as one of soul music’s most distinctive voices: spiritually rooted, politically alert and musically fearless. Blending jazz, gospel, protest soul and rich orchestration, the album includes the enduring “The Ghetto,” “Tryin’ Times” and “To Be Young, Gifted and Black.” A remarkable debut, it still stands as one of Hathaway’s defining works and a cornerstone of early 70s soul.
