Hey guys, Roberta Flack is still alive.
Yes, unfortunately, she is no longer able to sing and has difficulty speaking due to ALS. But her beautiful voice will live on forever.
Man, one of the greatest duets in history, by two legends! 1970’s thru the 1990’s, the long lost era of great love songs, for slow dancing and romancing!
This was probably a huge wedding song at the time!
💯 , & SUCH A BEAUTIFUL❤🎶.
It was! 1st dance @ reception usually!
Yes! I also thought that about “The first time ever I saw your face” as the perfect newlyweds couple dance.
Wait till you hear Two Less Lonely People in the World by Air Supply.
I've always been a fan of Roberta Flack, and this was a perfect pairing of voices. The harmonies are absolute perfection.
MY EXACT SENTIMENTS & THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL❤ 🎶
She always chose phenomenal singing partners. She's literally one-of-a-kind.
Are they lovers back then?⁹
one of the few songs that always give me goosebumps while listening to it
When these two sang together you knew the lights would dim at the club and everyone would be dancing a real slow dance❤ and if you were at home it lead to dancing ….🥰💋💜
Roberta & Donny Hathaway many superb duets !
Roberta Flack is still going strong!!
She scared me...I'm like when did Roberta Flack die 😢
She is still alive but is not doing well. She was diagnosed with ALS in 2022.
the first time i heard this song was on the soap opera Days of our Lives this was my favorite couple on the show's love song
Bo and Hopes love theme. ❤
I was like, Roberta Flack died?! I had to run to Google but she is alive! Whew! She is a legend and still alive!😂. I love this duet! Peabo Bryson was the duet King in the eighties!❤❤

I had The Best Of Roberta Flack for many years and this track always gave me goose bumps!

They are like two angels singing, both beautiful vocals by two icons. Also love the O’s hat.
Y'all holding hands meant everything!
Shawn holding Mel’s hand ❤ such a sweet moment
Great music and the best childhood the 70’s
Roberta you Rock !!
I had not heard this song in so many years and forgot about it. Beautiful song and the way these two sing it to each other is incredible. Roberta Flack has such a pure beautiful voice.
This is one of my all time favs. Nice.
I love Peabo Bryson's IF EVER YOU'RE IN MY ARMS AGAIN
I can't even begin to tell you how many weddings this song was played at❤❤
Both of their voices are incredible and when they sing together it is just unbelievable
So many newly married couples danced to this! Gorgeous!
PEABO is my HEART when it comes to male vocalists! Please react to Celine Dion and Peabo singing Beauty and the Beast!!!!!!❤😊❤😊❤😊
The other great duet is With You I’m Born Again with Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright.
Peabo Im so into you and feel the fire! These are part of my ultimate slow jam collection!
For another monumental duet, check out Stephanie Mills and Teddy Pendergrass singing 'Feel The Fire.' Peabo covered that song solo as well.
Saw a Peabo Bryson show while on a cruise ship a number of years ago. Dayum can he sing!
Oh yesssss. This brings back very sweet memories-☺️. 💖💙
Roberta Flack and Donnie Hathaway doing “Where Is The Love” is a good one for you two😉😊

Wow im in love again.. i have been listening to this wonderful very romantic love song for more than 20 years im 41 now
Man I love this channel. You guys' reaction and your relationship with each other, both so genuine
A bit exaggerated sometimes, especially from the dude.
BEAUTIFUL VOICES🎙🎙👏👏 , & A BEAUTIFUL ❤ 🎶 & ❤ WARMING . ❤ YOUR REACTIONS , & I WAS WAITING FOR SHAWN TO 😭
BLESSINGS🙏 FOR A LOVELY 💏 FROM CALI.
My husband made his own record jacket, which he decorated, for this song, which he found on a 45 record, and taped my engagement ring in the middle of the record - in 1983 ❤️
Pure class...something you don't see or hear much of anymore.
There will never be love songs like this again. ❤
Yeah!,but one song that is a very,very,close second by a young unknown Newark,New Jersey native and former fashion model in 1984 by the name of Whitney Houston.A duet with Teddy Pendergrass titled "Hold Me" from the album "Love Language" Yes! it also mentions the sun.🔥🎵
@@anthonyjolly2066True
I don't think they were ever in a relationship. Just duet partners. Roberta Flack used to do
duets with the great Donny Hathaway before he took his life in 1979. After that, she started
recording song duets with Peabo Bryson. They did another song the same year as this one
entitled "It's looking like love to me".
Roberta's voice melts my heart everytime.
One of the BEST songs for makin whoopie!
Glad you could discover all this beautiful music that I grew up on...
OK you guys...we know what you're doing tonight and what will be playing. ❤👍🤙
My favorite female artist ❤️🔥
G'day guys, REAL MUSIC ay guys, we were so lucking to have this music in our era, and you guys are lucking to watch it on video, real music take care Peter
Now you've got to react to Peabo Bryson singing "Feel The Fire"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 you'll love it!
You just said Rest In Peace but I think she is still alive. Not sure how accurate Wikipedia is but it
says she is 86. ……..love you both , love your channel
Its a beautiful duet. BTW, Mr Google says that Roberta Flack is still alive.
What you may not know is that you are looking at two parts of a love triangle. The third person was Donnie Hathaway. As I understand it, Donnie committed suicide bc of this love triangle and the heartache it caused him.
That fact adds a bit of sadness to this song for me.
He loved Roberta? I never knew.
Those rumors of a love triangle between Hathaway, Flack, and Bryson are baseless hogwash.
Short version of why: Donny Hathaway committed suicide in 1979 due to having paranoid schizophrenia. Roberta Flack didn't meet Peabo Bryson until after Donny Hathaway's death, when she was looking for another duet partner.
More details:
In 1967, Hathaway married Eulaulah Vann. The two met while attending Howard University where both were studying music. They had two daughters, Eulaulah Donyll (Lalah) and Kenya Canc'Libra.
Note that Donny Hathaway also met Roberta Flack while they were both enrolled in Howard University studying music. The inspiration behind the two uniting to cut a duet album came from the most unlikely of places. During a performance at a Washington, D.C. club called Mr. Henry’s, Flack sang Carole King’s “You’ve Got a Friend,” which became an immediate pop staple when it first came out in 1971. Producer Jerry Wexler was in attendance. Stunned by her reading of the song that night, Wexler suggested to Flack that she and Hathaway should record the song and possibly an entire album, as it could consolidate their popularity. Flack eventually gave in to the suggestion and the rest was history. Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway had a friendship and a working relationship. They were not romantically involved.
During the peak of his career, Hathaway began experiencing severe bouts of depression and exhibiting unusual behavior. In 1971, he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia for which he was prescribed various medications. At one point, Hathaway was prescribed fourteen different medications that he was to take twice a day. After Hathaway was diagnosed and began taking medication, his mental state improved. However, Eulaulah [aka Lalah] Hathaway has said that her father became less than diligent about following his prescription regimen when he began feeling better and often stopped taking his medications altogether. From 1973 to 1977, Hathaway's mental instability wreaked havoc on his life and career and required several hospitalizations. The effects of his depression and severe mood swings also drove a wedge in his and Flack's friendship; they did not reconcile for several years, and did not release additional music until the successful release of "The Closer I Get To You" in 1978. Flack and Hathaway then resumed studio recording to compose a second album of duets.
Sessions for another album of duets were underway in 1979. On January 13, Hathaway began a recording session with producers/musicians Eric Mercury and James Mtume. Each reported that although Hathaway was singing fine, he began behaving irrationally, seeming to be paranoid and delusional. According to Mtume, Hathaway said that white people were trying to kill him and had connected his brain to a machine for the purpose of stealing his music and his voice. Given Hathaway's behavior, Mercury said that he decided the recording session could not continue, so he aborted it and all of the musicians went home.
Hours later, Hathaway was found dead on the pavement below the window of his 15th-floor room in New York City's Essex House hotel. It was reported that he had jumped from his balcony. The glass had been neatly removed from the window and there were no signs of a struggle, leading investigators to rule that Hathaway's death was a suicide. Flack was devastated and, spurred by his death, included the few duet tracks they had finished on her next album, Roberta Flack Featuring Donny Hathaway. According to Mercury, Hathaway's final recording, included on that album, was "You Are My Heaven", a song Mercury co-wrote with Stevie Wonder.
Hathaway's funeral was conducted by Reverend Jesse Jackson.
After Hathaway's death, Roberta Flack was looking for a new duet partner. She decided that she might want to do a duet with Peabo Bryson whom she had not yet met. Flack invited Bryson to her New York home where they sang for each other. Flack subsequently visited Bryson's home where they sang together, before they agreed to work together. As a result, Flack and Bryson toured together in 1980. They did not release a recording together until 1983.
Oh my! Never knew that!
Classic !
That was so beautiful! It was really wonderful to sit down and listen to it again and pay real close attention to the words. They just don't make songs like that anymore. It is so nice to listen to lyrics that are about the joy of love and not just the loss of love. The 70's and 80's was the time of the "singer/song writer and they had such great lyrics.
Beautiful...❤🎶
Best Wedding song, EVER!
Memories ❤
My sister swears that her first child was conceived to this song. I know all about what music does to her because it happens to all the women in my family lol. When she told us she was pregnant, I asked her "Was it Billy Joel?" and she said "No, Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson" LOL. I think a lot of love was made to this song. It just does something to you when you hear it.
This was Bo and Hopes song on Days of our Lives back in the 80s!
If you haven't already...please react to Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway...Closer I Get To You!!!
Yes, definitely the right choice. The ultimate duet song. And Donny is the greatest soul singer.

Yep before rap corrupted music, it was beautiful. Life was peaceful for the most part. But such beautiful music to be enjoyed by all Americans. Sweet Moments between a man and a woman.
I wish a reactor (like you guys) would do Set the Night to music. Roberta's duet with Maxi Priest. So good.

While this is a great duet and a most beautiful love song, better yet is the duet of Roberta and Donnie Hathaway in their classic The Closer I Get to You. Now, you want to hear a love song, then that one is a must.
I have always loved this song. We have been celebrating for 44 magical years a one night stand turned into 44 yrs. it's so beautiful it makes me tear up. Great reaction. love to you both from the one and only Memphis Tn. btw they were just friends no relationship between them.
You should check out her duet with Maxi Priest, since you are going down her rabbit hole.
🥰🤗
Oh what a song!! I'm actually old enough to remember when it came out. Radio stations played it once an hour and I was right there with my radio trying to hit the record button at just the right time 😂
I'm sure my parents were really tired of hearing it but it was played daily❤
Please Do Peabo Bryson “Remember When (We Were So Much In Love)
☺☺♥♥♥♥
George Michael & Whitney Houston is another great duet! " If I told you that " Check out!
PLEASE react to “set the night to music” by roberta flack and maxi priest!
Please react to Roberta's son Bernard Wright's song Who do you love. I still love this song. He passed away a few months ago. Thx

No you didn't..Mel, you said RIP to Roberta. The beautiful Roberta announced her retirement from singing Nov '22 due to having ALS aka Lou Gehrig's disease She is presently 86 years old.
