Season: American Idol 2022 (Season 20)
Host: Ryan Seacrest
Judges: Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie
The twentieth season of the reality show singing competition American Idol premiered on February 27, 2022 on the ABC television network. It is the fifth season to air on ABC since the series’ revival. Ryan Seacrest returned as host, and Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie returned as judges. Bobby Bones did not return as in-house mentor.
Donny Hathaway recorded the song for his second album Donny Hathaway, featuring orchestral string and woodwind parts arranged by Arif Mardin. Hathaway’s producer Jerry Wexler wrote that this version revealed why Mardin was known for the “fastest growing reputation among the new breed of arrangers…” Hathaway’s gospel-inflected interpretation has been praised as redefining the song as his own. His live performances were electrifying, evoking a near-religious experience for the audience.
