YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, BUT HE’S BEEN MY FAVORITE ARTIST FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS AND THROUGH LOTS OF TOUGH TIMES IN MY LIFE! PB is an awesome talent!
Music has really changed. There is no more ballads that have meaning. The songs of today are savage. Don't get me wrong, there are some good ones. Different times.
Roberta flack and Peabo Bryson make absolutely remarkable duets. I love this kind of team power, from the energy in their voices to the emotion they bring out. Everything is outstanding. No one does this better, we'll love you forever 💖
I saw Peabo Bryson in an outdoor theater near Glendale California. He walked through the audience singing during his performance. What a voice. He killed it the whole performance.
To me, real R&B music doesn't exist anymore these days. The past from the 90's and earlier will always be around but no new real R&B music is being made these days
I saw them in concert in Westbury Long Island it was an out of body experience. It felt like as floating. More then just a concert. Ray charles was there he performed " Georgia ". Unbelievable night.
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.
My mother use to listen to this when I was a little boy. It brings me back and realize how the music back then was so much better. Roberta has so many great songs.
These are great voices. I have the greatest memories of this music. Not being born in the 60s and 70s isn’t a regret, but knowing this music makes me happy all life.
Two GOATS heavenly deliver one of the greatest duets ever written!! If you can’t sing it with the original (all hail Donny!!), than do him honor and sing it with one of the best ever!!
Awww, what talent to honor Donny in such a beautiful way! Roberta sings this so clear and sharp to the senses, Lookout Peabo, thanks for saluding the master of this song. You got your own way of making women “give in” when you sing your love songs ❤
Peabo Bryson is one of my favorite male artist. One of his hit song Reach for the Sky was a phenomenal hit the lyrics was incredible. The 70s sound really could touch your soul!!! Thanks Brother for your great contribution to the music industry!!! Shack
I seen Miss Roberta Flack at the Tangier in Akron, Ohio back in the 80's. She was a bit under the weather with upper respiratory issues and came out on stage a little late. She had so much class! She apologized and promised to make it up to us, then she put on a show I'll never forget. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
if I could have a choice of three singers of all times voice. Luther, Peabo and Brian mcknight. my 3 very favorite male artists. Peabo absolutely nails this song.
I am, one of my favorites. Great song to dance to, as well, as these:,,,,Stevie Wonder: or Luther Vandross (your call): Creepin', Commodores: Sweet Love, The Floaters: Float On, Bobby Caldwell: What I Won't Do for Love, George Benson: Love Ballad,,,,,,💃🕺please; after you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
...Me too bring me back too the years 1978 in Amsterdam the netherlands...Jazz land leidse plein whit my wife 💙 BOJIKE RIP 💚❤❤❤❤...AMBON ( Indonesië )...
I remember hearing this song for the first time in college around 1997. Unreal. I was mesmerized. Iwish i could hear it for the first 10 times again. And Peabo here, Jeezus! Sssick!!!
This is just major right here!! I was in 3rd grade going to catholic school in my hometown of DC and used to hear ROBERTA AND DONNIE rehearsals Near my school on capital hill n a house basement and did not know who they were until I pointed it out to my mom, one day she picked me up from school ,and she heard Roberta’s voice and Donnie’s voice and we stood there listening wooow! what a great memory for me and my mom rest well momma and rest well Donnie and Roberta I pray you get better and recover!
Yes, I listen daily I’m 64 yrs old and grew up on these songs, Nothing compares to the 70s & 80s music wise. I think it all makes me feel younger
62. & you're absolutely right.
Ha 4561z my number life is sweet not mud peace
I'm 65, we already know. That was music!!
57 and still loving it.
55 and my soul thrives on it
Peabo might be one of the most underrated and one of the greatest singers of all time
So very true!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, BUT HE’S BEEN MY FAVORITE ARTIST FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS AND THROUGH LOTS OF TOUGH TIMES IN MY LIFE! PB is an awesome talent!
He's in the tevin Campbell tier
He was great I know that!
Agreed 👍🏽
Happy blessed birthday Peabo Bryson 🥰💚💛❤️💜💙we share the same birthday and it's today 4/13/24 happy blessed birthday to us🥰and Brotha Al Green
I was 6 fighting for my life ...in a hospital...Roberta Flack was all over the radio..I'll always love her as the angel she is.
Bless x
Every Flack and Bryson's duet is so magical. ❤
❤
An amazing duet, pure singing without instrumental enhancement. A true Roberta Flack sound.
Today’s music can’t match music like this .I’m glad I’m 66 and lived with great music like this
The best of the best. Those were singers!!
This the most beautiful duet 😊
@rithtealer2559 absolutely, they blended so well together
It doesn't get any better than this. Two impeccable voices.
Foram feitos para cantarem juntos 🎉🎉
Music has really changed. There is no more ballads that have meaning. The songs of today are savage. Don't get me wrong, there are some good ones. Different times.
Songs today are absolutely trash!!
ALL OF THEM
I Can't name one good song that I would call good. Music died around 2012 in my opinion
......more like the turn of the 21st century.@@ninobrown5363
Peabo Bryson is and always has been a phenomenal vocalists - Donny would be proud..❤
This song is so touchy 😢
I miss this kind of song. The love song, the lyrics, the feelings and melody. All time classic songs are a beauty
They don't make it like this anymore
Yes we're loosing the art of gud music to "tiktok mania"😢😮
This is beautiful man!
Peabo is a vocal master and Roberta's voice is as smooth as silk!
She has the clearest silky voice. I love her! Legendary !
Peabo is the best make vocalist ever
Roberta Flack sings so beautifully and has done so over many years. Peabo accomplices her so well. A magic carpet ride to a beautiful time.
Absolutely beautiful these two take me back to when loving someone meant you were really in love...
Yes
True that👍
Me too
That's so true those days was real love not today
Roberta flack and Peabo Bryson make absolutely remarkable duets. I love this kind of team power, from the energy in their voices to the emotion they bring out. Everything is outstanding. No one does this better, we'll love you forever 💖
Roberta has the most amazing voice.... effortless beauty....
So cool and lovely voice
I saw Peabo Bryson in an outdoor theater near Glendale California. He walked through the audience singing during his performance. What a voice. He killed it the whole performance.
Nobody could ever take Donny's place but Peabo tore it up here!!
this is real R&B not the crap they produce now a days
To me, real R&B music doesn't exist anymore these days. The past from the 90's and earlier will always be around but no new real R&B music is being made these days
I saw them in concert in Westbury Long Island it was an out of body experience. It felt like as floating. More then just a concert. Ray charles was there he performed " Georgia ". Unbelievable night.
❤❤❤❤❤ Roberta Flack such beautiful songs. Amazing 😍 thank you 💕💕 blessings 🎉. PUERTO RICO 🎉
Praying that Peabo Bryson makes a full recovery.....His voice is legendary, an amazing singer..
What's wrong with him

Hope so too, we already lose James Ingram we cant afford to lose pebo
Roberta was also unwell sometime last year I hope she fully recovered. Love them both.
I’m 70 and I grew up in The UK. I had all Roberta Flack Albums she was the best. No one like her.
Roberta Flack has a very unique & special voice- it's beautiful !

I love your analogy!
Excellent
And bacon

She's a class act, giving a nod to Donny, and Peabo does the song justice
Then what did you expect from the brilliant Robert 'Peabo' Bryson.
Even her speaking voice is so sweeeet
CLASS
Peabody honestly has one if the smoothest voices in history.
She absolutely is a classy lady. 🙂🙂🙂
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 agree
James Simpson muito bom de ouvir Samos da antiga
Great. Songs
Yes, she is a big star. I love also Dionne Warwick. I am from Brazil.
James Simpson beautiful
The background music along with Roberta singing her soul out make this a timeless masterpiece!
Two voices coming together as one in perfect harmony truly blessed singers
Just love how Roberta nods to Peabo to finish it in perfection!
OMG Roberta your voice is truly magical, What a beautiful tribute to your friend Donny. RIP.
Roberta Flack is 87 now. She and Peabo were both stars, and they'll remain that way forever.
Peabo is 73.
This is one of the greatest songs of all time. Two of the greatest singers of all time. And I miss Donny!!!
This song simply and completely embodies
falling deeply in love. So beautiful.
i'll bet she's never sang a bad note in her life.
She s a certified school teacher. She would never fault in front of her former students,LOL.
Her musical career has spanded the test of time
The Closer I get to you is one of my favorite songs of all time
Mine too@@aramiscarreras7129
Makes my hair stand on end....❤
I’ve forgotten how great this song really is. They both bleed incredible talent. I’ve got goosebumps watching and listening to this video.
My mother use to listen to this when I was a little boy. It brings me back and realize how the music back then was so much better. Roberta has so many great songs.
Absolutely beautiful! We need more of this talent now in 2023!
Ms. Flack is a timeless beauty and her voice is so incredible. This song is an all time favorite of mine and Peabo does nice job filling in for Don.
Awesome Beautiful I am a fan of both Roberta and Peabo but I have a love for Peabo. Blessings to both of U. Pastor Renee
I’m 66 and grew up in this era of music. Wonderful time to be alive.
Two amazing voices! Beautiful job!!
I grew up listening to Peabo Bryson. My dad got me listening to him. This is real soul music when you feel it.
These are great voices. I have the greatest memories of this music. Not being born in the 60s and 70s isn’t a regret, but knowing this music makes me happy all life.
Yes sir Peabo is one of the best singers on the Planet!! I love to hear him sing!!!!
This was when music was wonderful, soulful and meant something to us.
Two GOATS heavenly deliver one of the greatest duets ever written!! If you can’t sing it with the original (all hail Donny!!), than do him honor and sing it with one of the best ever!!
Awww, what talent to honor Donny in such a beautiful way! Roberta sings this so clear and sharp to the senses, Lookout Peabo, thanks for saluding the master of this song.

I bet that show was still amazing.
