"Roberta Flack has been singing in a way that plucks at the heartstrings since 1969," NPR observed of her recent Beatles tribute album. This essential disc samples Flack's classic hit ballads ("First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," "Feel Like Making Love," and "Killing Me Softly With His Song"), her duets with Donny Hathaway ("Where Is the Love?"; "The Closer I Get to You" ), covers of songs by Carole King ("Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"; "You've Got a Friend"), and more. "Inspired by a Don McLean gig at L.A.'s Troubadour, folk singer Lori Lieberman took her idea for the song ['Killing Me Softly'] to Gimbel and Fox. Flack later heard Lieberman’s recording on an in-flight radio station and 'absolutely freaked,' she said."—500 Greatest Songs, Rolling Stone
