    She's by far my favorite singer. I just love her style of singing, she can go slightly nasal when she wants, but she does it only shortly, than she lets little rasp in, she can sing clear... anything she wants, but every little thing she does is in service of the song . I could just close my eyes and enjoy. Unperfect perfection.

    This brings me right back to the night, sometime in the mid-70s, when I was an usherette at the Queen E Playhouse in Vancouver, and got to see Roberta Flack perform this live. I sat on the steps of the upper balcony, mesmerized, tears rolling down my cheeks. Still can't believe I got paid to be overwhelmed by emotion. And this version gives me shivers!

    It’s rare that a voice just grabs me and won’t let go. I listened to this twice then went on Spotify to hear some more. This isn’t my kind of music - not my generation - and yet she’s taken this classic from ages ago and made it her own in a very special way. Plus the arrangement and musicians are fantastic.

    Wow. wow. wow. Just putting aside for a second the JAW dropping performance from Rozzi. Ryan! Again with a ridicules guitar tone? what!? like that baritone acoustic bass sound. You've got me scratching my head going "how? what? ooo sooo goooood" Old vintagey EQ? but somehow gets the old speaker rattle with the bass notes. rubber bridge and tail piece? on a... semi hollow les paul jr rhythm? what! Kudos to you and your journey in sound crafting. What a juicy soft tone for my ears to sink into.
