Take a listen below to JayBeatz's High Volume Mashups: Vol. 1 below and if you like what you hear, cop the free download while supplies last.

Cut: "Love, Love, Love" (Donny Hathaway)

I was playing Donny's LP Extension of a Man last night and came across my cut from the album, so I though why not revisit it here. Donny Hathaway's last studio album 1973's Extension of a Man offered up some of the best material from the famed crooner and one of the cuts from his classic LP has to be "Love, Love, Love." Sampled by Jay-Z for his hit "Girls, Girls, Girls," "Love, Love, Love" was released as the lead single from Extension of a Man, but is often forgotten as one of the gems from his discography. With that said, take a listen to "Love, Love, Love" below and Enjoy!
