    Beautiful!! Roberta Flack is my favorite female artist of all time. Donny is one of my favorite male artist of all time. I remember watching a performance of Roberta and Peabo not long after Donny died and they were singing this song. I thought to myself that no one could fill in for Donny's part then I heard Peabo. He did it his own way and it's perfect! I still feel this way today and that was over 35 years ago. Peabo is no doubt one of the greatest R&B singers of all time in my book.

    I was born 1993, and these genre of songs were the best for me. Absolute goosebumps! The type of songs you'll want to hear from the radio ❤❤❤
