░ R E L E A S E I N F O R M A T I O N
Classy, urbane, reserved, smooth, and sophisticated - all
of these terms have been used to describe the music of
Roberta Flack, particularly her string of romantic, light
jazz ballad hits in the 1970s, which continue to enjoy
popularity on MOR-oriented adult contemporary stations.
Flack was the daughter of a church organist and started
playing piano early enough to get a music scholarship
and eventual degree from Howard University. After a
period of student teaching, Flack was discovered singing
at a club by jazz musician Les McCann and signed to
Atlantic.
Her first two albums - 1969's "First Take" and 1970's
"Chapter Two" - were well received but produced no hit
singles; however, that all changed when a version of
Ewan MacColl's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face",
from her first LP, was included in the soundtrack of the
1971 film Play Misty for Me. The single zoomed to number
one in 1972 and remained there for six weeks, becoming
that year's biggest hit. Flack followed it with the first of
several duets with Howard classmate Donny Hathaway,
"Where Is the Love". "Killing Me Softly With His Song"
became Flack's second number one hit (five weeks) in
1973, and after topping the charts again in 1974 with
"Feel Like Makin' Love," Flack took a break from
performing to concentrate on recording and charitable
causes.
She charted several more times over the next few years,
as she did with the Top Ten 1977 album "Blue Lights In The
Basement - featuring "The Closer I Get to You," a number
two ballad with Hathaway. A major blow was struck in 1979
when her duet partner, one of the most creative voices in
soul music, committed suicide. Devastated, Flack eventually
found another creative partner in Peabo Bryson, with whom
she toured in 1980. The two recorded together in 1983,
scoring a hit duet with "Tonight, I Celebrate My Love".
Flack spent the remainder of the 80s touring and
performing, often with orchestras, and also several times
with Miles Davis. She returned to the Top Ten once more
in 1991 with "Set the Night to Music," a duet with Maxi
Priest that appeared that year on the album of the same
name. Her Roberta full-length, featuring interpretations of
jazz and popular standards, followed in 1994. As she
continued into the 21st century, Flack recorded infrequently
but released albums like 2012's "Let It Be Roberta: Roberta
Flack Sings the Beatles", which showed that her poise and
balanced singing had aged well.
Roberta Flack's debut album, titled "First Take" in true
underachiever fashion, introduced a singer who'd
assimilated the powerful interpretive talents of Nina Simone
and Sarah Vaughan, the earthy power of Aretha Franklin,
and the crystal purity and emotional resonance of folk-
singers like Judy Collins. Indeed, the album often sounded
more like vocal jazz or folk than soul, beginning with the
credits: a core quartet of Flack on piano, John Pizzarelli on
guitar, Ron Carter on bass, and Ray Lucas on drums, as
fine a lineup as any pop singer could hope to recruit. With
only one exception - the bluesy, grooving opener "Compared
to What," during which Flack proves her chops as a soul
belter - she concentrates on readings of soft, meditative
material.
A pair of folk covers, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
and "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye", are heart-wrenching
standouts; the first even became a surprise hit two years
later, when its appearance in the Clint Eastwood film Play
Misty for Me pushed it to the top of the pop charts
and earned Flack her first Grammy award for Record of the
Year. Her arrangement of the traditional "I Told Jesus" has
a simmering power, while "Ballad of the Sad Young Men"
summons a stately sense of melancholy. Flack also included
two songs from her college friend and future duet partner,
Donny Hathaway, including a tender examination of the classic
May-December romance titled "Our Ages or Our Hearts." The
string arrangements of William Fischer wisely keep to the
background, lending an added emotional weight to all of
Flack's pronouncements. No soul artist had ever recorded
an album like this, making "First Take" one of the most
fascinating soul debuts of the era.
