Donny Hathaway – This Christmas (Official Audio)

Among Christmas songs by R&B artists, this might be one of the most well-known.

When the song was released in 1970, Donny Hathaway had just debuted and wasn’t very famous yet.

About twenty years later, after the song was included on a compilation album, its appeal gradually spread, and it began to be covered more frequently.

It’s an upbeat, wonderful track.

Donny Hathaway – You’ve Got a Friend

Danny Hathaway, a soul singer who helped energize the New Soul boom of the ’70s.

At a time when racism against Black people was severe in the United States, he didn’t get swept up by the era’s divisions and continued collaborating with and covering white artists.

His rendition of “You’ve Got a Friend” is one example—the original is by singer-songwriter Carole King.

Since it’s a song about friendship, I think it’s perfect for a farewell party.

Please give it a listen.

You’ve Got a Friend

You’ve Got a Friend, a masterpiece created by Carole King in 1971, is a hit song that won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1972.

This time, rather than King’s original version, we’ve picked the duet cover by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack, two soul singers who enjoyed tremendous popularity in the 1970s.

As the title suggests, it’s a song about friendship, so why not consider playing it at a graduation ceremony?
