Out of print in the U.S. UK pressing of this 1972 collaboration between these two Soul greats. Roberta Flack was arguably the era s greatest practitioner of soulful reflective R&B and her first collaboration with keyboardist and vocalist Donny Hathaway is one of her finest efforts. The rich elastic voices of the duo are perfectly matched-they sing in close-knit harmony throughout the set and their chemistry is intimate and full of strong emotion. Moods range subtly but distinctly-a funky version of Baby I Love You simmers along in a mellow groove while the opener I (Who Have Nothing) is a stirring romantic ballad. Though a near-definitive version of Carole King s You ve Got a Friend is one of the highlights the breezy Where Is the Love which became a runaway chart hit steals the spotlight. This classic R&B record blends Soul Folk Jazz and Blues with an earthy flair. Warner.
