Musician Donny Hathaway to get His Star on Delmar

St. Louis Walk of Fame founder Joe Edwards confirmed WhoLou source information Sunday announcing the 2013 Walk of Fame class includes musician Donny Hathaway, pictured right with Aretha Franklin at the 1973 Grammy Awards. When pressed for the names of the other inductees Edwards remained tight-lipped.

Hathaway was born in Chicago but raised from a very early age in the Carr Square neighborhood of St. Louis with his mother’s family. His grandmother, Martha Pitts, was a gospel singer of some notoriety and Hathaway grew up singing at Trinity Baptist Church with her.
