Hit: 4 Stars
First,I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Amazon for asking me to express my opinion about this CD.I have always enjoyed Roberta Flack's voice,but somehow I never got around to including two of her biggest hits("Killing Me Softly With His Song" and "Feel Like Makin' Love")in my collection.For many years,I've had the song "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and the album that contains it("First Take")as well as her biggest duets with the late Donny Hathaway in my collection and now I have all of these songs on one disc.When I'm feeling in a mellow mood,I've often thought of her songs.There is something truly remarkable about her voice which no other singer possesses.The closest comparison that I can think of is Aretha Franklin,and I'm sure that even the "Queen of Soul" herself must have felt challenged during Ms. Flack's '70s hit-making heyday.Now both stars' moment in the sun has faded and we're left with new performers like Nora Jones.Somehow though,the music of today just doesn't give me the same feeling as that of the past.You know,it's funny:I've often considered myself to be a heavy-metal type of guy,but when I'm in the mood for mellowing out,Ms. Flack's singing really hits the spot.This really is a great overview of her career,but it's not concise.There are several of her lesser known hits missing(which are available on another compilation titled,"The Best of Roberta Flack"),but it's more thorough than any other collection because it contains her most recent recordings(now well over a decade old).While it's unfortunate that her more contemporary recordings aren't of the same caliber as her '70s hits,it is nice to have her biggest recordings all in one place.If you're a fan of her earlier recordings as I am,who knows,you just may be pleasantly surprised by some of her later work.I can certainly appreciate her voice...it's just the arrangements that I'm not too crazy about.All in all,this disc is well worth investigating,especially for fans of the Quiet Storm genre.
