Everything Is Everything (Donny Hathaway album)

Everything Is Everything is the debut studio album by American soul artist Donny Hathaway, which was released on July 1, 1970 on the Atlantic Records' subsidiary, Atco.

After dropping out of Howard University in 1967, Hathaway moved to Chicago, his birthplace, and started working on music for Curtis Mayfield's Curtom Records label where he was a songwriter, producer, arranger, composer, conductor and session player.

Hathaway had met Powell while at Howard University, as well as the future Impressions lead singer, Leroy Hutson, who jointly wrote the hit song that would eventually make it on the album, "The Ghetto".

Afterwards, he was a genius, but right then, he was just another guy tryin'"[3] It would be one of four solo studio albums, including the soundtrack for Come Back, Charleston Blue, that Hathaway released in his lifetime.

Bonus track on CD reissue "Donny Hathaway and Atco Records would like to thank Dave Franklin and Eleanor Steele for their gracious assistance in the preparation of this album"[4]
