The Grammy-nominated singer also owned the bar and restaurant Donnie’s Place in Bellwood, which uses old family recipes and knowledge passed down from his ancestors, he previously said.
The restaurant opened at the beginning of the COVID pandemic.
Hall spoke with ABC7 Chicago’s Hosea Sanders in February 2021 about his book, Growing Up Black: Things My Grandparents Said.
“He who doesn’t wag his tail is a poor dog.” “Fat meat is not fatty.” Singer Dante Hall collects these sayings and the knowledge of his ancestors in his new book.
The Chicago singer had a successful solo career and a long list of famous collaborators such as Jennifer Hudson, Yolanda Adams and Donald Lawrence.
