About this album

Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway is a superb meeting of two distinct but deeply compatible voices, and one of the most elegant soul duet albums of the 1970s. Released in 1972, it pairs Flack’s poised, intimate phrasing with Hathaway’s warm, emotional delivery across a mix of covers and contemporary material. Their versions of ‘Where Is the Love’ and ‘The Closer I Get to You’ became defining moments in the broader duet tradition, while songs such as ‘For All We Know’ and ‘I (Who Have Nothing)’ show how naturally they could turn familiar material into something deeply personal. The album helped cement both artists’ reputations as essential soul interpreters.
