iTunes Review
Before Roberta Flack became a big star killing everyone softly with her songs, she quietly blew the doors off small clubs as a jazz, gospel, and blues singer. She combined the spirituality of Mahalia Jackson, the soulfulness of Nina Simone, and purity of Judy Collins. First Take, Flack's 1969 debut, is a powerful testament to her astonishing vocal skills. Raw and understated, it's more folky-jazz than soul, with John Pizzarelli on guitar and Ron Carter on bass cushioning Flack's low-key piano and blissful, introspective singing. From start to finish, a simply gorgeous album.
Customer Reviews
Soul at its best!
Social Commentator, Master of Bass and Soul Diva - Roberta Flack is a soul legend and this album is truly one of the greats!
This is a great album!
Roberta Flack is always pushed by Nina Simone, these tracks are at their best
Understated Genius
If you thought you knew Roberta Flack's genius, think again. This album shows her jazz and gospel roots at their very best. This is really her only album in this style, which is my only regret. Buy it, sit back and enjoy....
