If you don’t know the peerless music of Donny Hathaway, I suggest you amend this hole in your musical world as soon as possible. I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know has a beautiful, tender lyric which shines out from the glut of macho posturing, and Donny’s sincerety is a touchstone for all serious vocalists.
I wish contemporary R&B and soul singers would study his delivery, not only for the emotional sincerety he imparts, but for his use of space. The pauses he leaves in this minor key number are delicious, bitter-sweet, poignant, and lend an entirely saccharine-free profundity to the song.
Sweet brilliance.
