The Closer I get to you- feat Roberta Flack and Donnie Hathaway

The King&Queen for what now goes for NEO-SOUL.the More times goes By the Greater there Songs together truly SOund IMHO.Great Pick.

I've never heard a duet by Flack/Hathaway I didn't like. I guess it's safe to say my favorite duet team is Flack/Hathaway.

beautiful, beautiful song. I like to fall asleep to Roberta's greatest hits.

"Killing Me Softly" -- and her version explicitly -- is one of my ALL TIME favorite songs. I was 3 when it came out, and it was one of the first songs I ever sang. (One of many telling signs that I was a little gay boy!)

Killing Me Softly is a classic! I've always liked her songs. I'd have to admit, I didn't think of Donnie Hathaway without Roberta Flack for the longest time. I like a little known song that I hardly hear anymore "I'm the One." "When it comes to making love I am the best." "Love is my specialty."

My fave tracks from her are(in no special order):

1.Feels Like Making Love(D'Angelo did a fine ass cover)
2.Where Is The Love - (with Donny Hathaway)
3.Back Together Again - (with Donny Hathaway)(My FAVE upbeat from the crew)
4.The Closer I Get To You(With Donny).

My fave LP from her is the Donny Hothaway duet LP from 1982 after he passed away.

making love
the first time ever I saw your face

2 more favs of mine

U are my heaven...sigh~

Very nice Pick! You Are My Heaven!!

"Killing Me Softly" kinda makes you wanna do a double take on Al B Sure's version!!

Tina (~!~)

I remember Roberta's 1977 album 'Blue Lights In The Basement',which features the hit "The Closer I Get To You".I LOVE the opening song "Why Don't You Move In With Me?",that song just kills me everytime!!



I have another favorite Roberta Flack song,"I'm The One" from 1982...

"Making love,I am the best
I'm all yours,just put me to the test
Love is my specialty
And I know what to do to make you give your love to me"

I'll triple that agreement. "An angel whispered to me when I woke this morning That I would find heaven by my side And there were you angel, heaven in the morning. Playing in my arms and in my life." I think my parents still has the 45. That is a beautiful line...great song.

That fact that Donnie was gone soon after this song was recorded make the song even more special to me..."Darlin' I, I won't let them take you away.."
