Robert Flack has a beautiful voice. Who can argue that? That's why I was so disappointed by this colelction of songs. It would have been lovely if she had recorded them with a more traditional and orchestral arrangement. The pop synthesizer sound of the songs hear just don't work. It pains me to say that. Roberta Flack is a wonderful chanteuse. I gave this 3 stars which is generous. Her voice is the only thing that may redeem this album.
