These two Howard University alums had crossed paths briefly (Roberta Flack’s first two albums included some Donny Hathaway songs) before Atlantic Records’ Jerry Wexler teamed the acclaimed performers for a duets album. The 10 tracks on this release include a couple of successful singles – “You’ve Got A Friend,” which was issued at the same time as James Taylor’s version, and “Where Is The Love,” which peaked at #5 on Billboard's Hot 100 this week in 1972 (and would go on to win a Grammy the following year). A million-selling hit, this wonderful collection of standards and originals shows that ROBERTA FLACK AND DONNY HATHAWAY were true musical soulmates.
