Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway
LP (Item 36741) Atlantic, 1972 — Condition: Used
Over the years, the team of Flack & Hathaway became such an adult easy soul cliche that it's easy to forget what an amazing record this is! At the time of its release, Flack and Hathaway were some of the hippest forces in soul. Individually, each had taken the music to new heights and new audiences, through the use of jazzy phrasing and sophisticated lyrics, while never selling out in the way that earlier pop soul acts had been reduced to. Flack's somber folksy style is a perfect match for the warm spirituality of Hathaway – and the pair work beautifully in counterpoint on hits like "You've Got A Friend" and "Where Is The Love", as well as on more obscure numbers like "Be Real Black For Me", "When Love Has Grown", and "For All We Know". The album also features a 7 minute spare acoustic/electric piano instrumental called "Mood". (Cover has some corner wear and a spot of sticker residue.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
