Try listening to Sam Bailey. Yes, Sam is a woman, a wife, a mother, former prison officer, and has a voice you can't help love and be in awe of! She has a real God-given talent!
This song was written by a girl name Lori Lieberman who was a singer songwriter back in the day. Lori does say that the song was inspired by a Don McLean show that she attended, although she thought it was kind of "corny" to admit that! She wrote down some notes on a napkin at the show, went home and wrote the song, recorded the song which went no where until Roberta released HER version.
Today, she is so underrated. We need her and ladies from that time, back. She has such a strong and soothing voice. This is the version that I love also. Roberta is such a powerful voice.
Roberta Flack's individual way/style of singing is absolutely wonderful. "Where Is The Love", "Feel Like Making Love" and"Back Together Again" are certainly worth listening to. In my opinion.
Classic old School Love Song....Liz you always claim that so and so is so pretty. When It’s actually me that can’t get over your beauty.........Restectfully🌹❤️👸🏽😷
G’day mate, love this song. Just love it. What a voice. No one can sing this classic tune like Miss Roberta Flack. She simply owns it. WOW. Lyrics tell a story too. I can tell you dude, that I enjoyed plenty of romantic dancing with past girlfriends to this song back in the 70s. Great memories. You mate have got passion for great songs. Dig that.Next time.👍🇦🇺😁🤪☮️✌️
I gotta comment again that the best music has been made already the decades past now iam waiting for music like this but I haven't heard timeless music since the 90s
Music truly is transcendent, able to lift you out of time and place, and take you to an entirely different plane of being. And no just in a concert with thousands of other people around. When it's just you in a room with your headphones, the magic still works just as well. better even, one might argue. P.S. - Go ahead and sing along, Liz. You carry a tune quite nicely.
The soulful voice of Roberta Flack this lady has always made me feel like she pours her heart into everything she has done. That's the time I feel like making love to you was one of my favorite songs by her.
Roberta has hands down the most sultry soulful and soothing voice I've ever heard. Love her. This is one of my favorites. Brings back so many great memories. Such a great time for music in general . Love her and Donny Hathaway duets! They may be my top two voices together ❤
Thats definitely the best version of this song. Btw, she may be beautiful but not as beautiful as you. If only I were younger. Have another beautiful day Liz.🥰❤
You just opened the "gateway" to Roberta Flack's world of music for me. I have "Feel Like Making Love", "Where Is The Love" and "Back Together Again" on my playlist.
From the moment I first heard this song (1973?) straight through to today, I find myself mesmerized each and every time. Thank you so much for sharing!!! 🌷💫
Music is a universal language. It brings us all together. It speaks to us. Even if we do not speak the same language or share the same beliefs. Good vibes Miss Liz. ☺
So gorgeous. Both the song and you. I'm sure you've heard her song The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. It was featured in the Clint Eastwood movie Play Misty For Me. That is the best love song of all time to me.
Hey Lizz! What's going on? "The Incomparable Roberta Flack", what is there to say about this "LEGEND"? I just love her and all her songs (GOD Sent) Thanks for letting me "Vibe" with you with this beautiful song! Take care and stay safe!! PEACE OUT!!

Wow my all time favorite Roberta Flack song... on my iPod. I love seeing young people rediscovering all this great music. These people were all so talented. There was no "auto-tune" in those days.. all talent.
"Roberta Flack, you did that!" 👏🏽👏🏽 Love your personality! Can you also review by Roberta Flack: "The first time ever I saw your face" or "The closer I get to you" ? TY💛
When you started talking about music & Armageddon and how important music is to us, I thought about the Titanic (not the movie). Even with the ship sinking the band continued to play music.

Flack did not write this song. It was composed by Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimbel. The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971.
@@hongfang2508 Nope. It was written by a girl name Lori Lieberman who also recorded the original. She says that the song was inspired by a show she attended by Don McLean. Her version went no where but when Roberta released HER version Lori had mixed feelings, one, she was happy that her song was a hit! Two, she was a little jealous that Roberta got more attention, three, she thought that Robertas' version was, indeed much better that hers! Google Lori Lieberman. The story is right there. OR, you can watch Lori answer questions about the matter in a video available here on RUclips.
Hey Liz, if you're not too shy about music that gets "real", it would be awesome to have you react to Roberta's cover of Reverend Lee". First time I heard it, my friend's had to pull my head out of the ceiling, lollllll 🤣🤣🤣 Peace, and stay well 🌹✌️
You should hear, I wanna know what love is by Morissette Amon. She has the longest whistle tone I've heard. Some call her the Mariah Carey of the Philippines or Asia's Phoenix. Thank you Liz. 🥰
I'm assuming you've heard the fugees version of this, a great cover. Curious, have you listened to or reacted to Roberta's The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, it applies, damn...
This was about Don Maclean, who she saw in concert. Check out his song "Vincent", a song he wrote about Vincent Van Gogh. The live performance from 1972 is on YT.
One of the few times I can hear you singing along would love to hear more from you women of rock would be nice to listen too ex. Joan Jett,Pat Benetar, Heart,Bonnie Raitt,jus to name a few
It was good hearing this song again. As others have mentioned, this was Roberta Flack's song response to hearing the song "The Day the Music Died (American Pie)" when she saw/heard Don McLean sing it at a live concert she attended. This song is a reflection of the emotions she felt when hearing the song. Because of the death of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Vales, and The Big Bopper, that entire generation of young people experienced a tragic emotion event together that was a life changer for most of them. Here is a link to the story behiind the story that I know you will like and it will help you understand both songs more completely (because I know you love music so much). ruclips.net/video/QmyGZ64J9yg/видео.html You don't have to react to this (I'm not requesting it) but I think you will be glad if you go see this for your own education and enjoyment. It will stir your heart, I believe. This was a delightful reaction, as are all of yours because you are just so delightful. And, by the way, I'm fine if you want to lose the earphones. If they aren't helping and they are not comfortable, why use them? Here's to your next reaction!

Such a beautiful voice. Flack and Hathaway was unmatched.
One of the GREAT songs from the 70s
This song and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" are my favorite Roberta Flack Songs.
Quite simply one of the most beautiful songs of love ever penned and sang. The backing vocals seem to be echoing from a mountain top! So ethereal.
I know one thing. I would never make you feel that. I would never leave you. You are absolutely precious in every sense of the word.
Today, she is so underrated. We need her and ladies from that time, back. She has such a strong and soothing voice. This is the version that I love also. Roberta is such a powerful voice.
She is incredibly underrated by today’s standards unfortunately
Yup my favorite Roberta Flack song

So well said. Music finds a way though everything to your soul.
Great song takes me back in time. Great reaction
i remember my older sister playing this over and over on her record player when i was young. i heard it 5-6 times a day at least. good memories
That's a cool memory. I had grown up on classic rock and old country, so I recently found out about Roberta Flack.
From the moment I first heard this song (1973?) straight through to today, I find myself mesmerized each and every time. Thank you so much for sharing!!! 🌷💫
Thank you 💗💗

I like the Fugees version, but this is my favorite too. Part of the soundtrack of my youth - so beautiful
oh oh, Lizzie is draggin out the belly rubbin music. Classic Roberta Flack! AMAZING!
You have to give Luther his kudos, he also did a nice job with it.
I don’t believe I ever heard his version 🤔
This was the #1 song in the US for 2 straight weeks in 1973

Her "First time ever I saw your face" is another great one...
Girl you know how to enjoy.. nice chill video.🤟
Thank you 💗💗💗
Like 40! This is a really beautiful! Nice classic anytime of the day !
You should check out Joni Mitchell, Carol King, Linda Ronstand etc. just some of the best 70’s “hippy” type singers. 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction Lizzie! Another great smooth Roberta Flack classic is - I Feel Like Makin' Love.
When you started talking about music & Armageddon and how important music is to us, I thought about the Titanic (not the movie). Even with the ship sinking the band continued to play music.

Legendary singer. She did some great collaborations with Donny Hathaway. Who also is a legend💙x
