Unfortunately, Atlantic's A Donny Hathaway Collection, one of the few career retrospectives available (and basically the only one in print), isn't quite definitive; it presents a version of Hathaway's career inordinately focused on his commercially successful duets with Roberta Flack, and his slowest, most dirge-like solo recordings.
But A Donny Hathaway Collection neglects far too much material from his two greatest solo albums, 1970s Everything Is Everything and 1973's Extension of a Man, to be considered the perfect first choice.
It may simply be a matter of embellishing the myth of the tortured artist, but this doesn't present both sides of the Hathaway legend.

 Donny Hathaway Biography and Music at Soul Tracks
Though his recording career was quite brief, Donny Hathaway has continued to be one of the most influential soul artists of the last quarter century.
In 1972, Hathaway teamed with Roberta Flack for an album of duets that would be the most popular album either would record, and the first major crossover work of his career.
By 1973, Hathaway was battling depression, but he nonetheless released the powerful “Extensions of a Man,” an appropriately titled album that showed Hathaway extending himself in many directions, most well beyond the pop/soul format that many of the listeners of his duets with Flack expected.

 Donny Hathaway: Biography
In 1971, he released his eponymous second album and recorded a duet with former Howard classmate Roberta Flack, covering James Taylor's "You've Got a Friend." It was a significant hit, reaching the Top Ten on the RandB charts, and sparked a full album of duets, Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway, which was released in 1972.
The soft, romantic ballad "Where Is the Love?" topped the RandB charts, went Top Five on the pop side, and won a Grammy, and the accompanying album went gold.
The song was a smash, becoming the pair's second RandB number one in 1978, and also climbing to number two on the pop charts.

 Donny Hathaway : Donny Hathaway - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
In striking contrast to his debut, Donny Hathaway is a very dark record, and it opens on a particularly low note, with "Giving Up" (a 1964 R&B hit for Gladys Knight & the Pips).
Most of Hathaway's performances are slow, piano-led laments, powerfully delivered but with little melodic sway to convert listeners.
Still, whereas Everything Is Everything saw him leading the choir up in the front of church, Donny Hathaway sounds like the lament of a man alone in the sanctuary after services are finished.

The death of Donny Hathaway is as tragic and frustrating as any in popular music history.
On January 13, 1979, Hathaway succumbed to severe depression and apparently threw himself from a 15th floor window of New York City’s Essex House.
The sound quality is quite clear and only eclipsed by Hathaway’s rich vocals and wonderful piano playing, but it also displays the special cohesion of a talented band – Willie Weeks (bass), Fred White (drums), Earl DeRouen (congas), Richard Tee (organ) and guitarists Phil Upchurch, Mike Howard, and Cornell Dupree.

 Roberta Flack
You could argue that the gentle soul sound espoused by Flack, Donny Hathaway and others was R&B's answer to soft rock; you could also argue it just developed from the more contemplative work of Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding.
Flack delivers the best tunes, including "Gone Away" by Donny Hathaway, Curtis Mayfield and Leroy Hutson, and the anti-war "Business Goes On As Usual," in a manner so straightforward it's disarming.
In fact Hathaway only appears on a couple of tracks here: he'd killed himself a year before the record was released.
