Perfection......., April 7 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway (Audio CD)
This is a perfect album - the artists perform magnificent vocal and piano harmonies; the musical styles move effortlessly from country, to R&B, to religious, to classical - so that with each hearing the listener is taken on a new and exciting journey. This CD is a timeless, masterpiece - a treasure. It is a tribute to the extraordinary talents of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway.

Essential without a doubt!, Jan 15 2002
This review is from: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway (Audio CD)
For once a duets project that made sense! Both Flack and Hathaway were enjoying commercial success at the time, but it was similar approaches to singing and choosing material that made for a natural pairing. The results were largely stellar: a dramatic "I (Who Have Nothing)", the sweet and lush "When Love Has Grown" and a rendition of "For All We Know" that perfectly showcases the lost major talent that was Hathaway's, for example. However, the album's not perfect. The ragtime-ish "Baby, I Love You" doesn't work, and Flack's piano solo "Mood" is self-indulgent. Yet what remains most striking some thirty years after the album's initial release is how perfectly Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's voices blend, and how they still can stir the soul. No duo ever did it better.
