- A classic in every sense

OK, so last night on American Idol Haley Reinhart sang "I (Who Have Nothing)." While the judges loved it, I thought she butchered it. Off to iTunes I surfed today to buy the best version ever recorded from the album "Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway." I bought the entire album. What a wonderful flashback to 1972. Thanks Haley. And Thanks Roberta Flack and the late Donny Hathaway for a timeless treasure.
- Amazing voices

An album that I have loved for years, and recently returned to - in particular the Hathaway vocals on For All We Know and the duet on Come Ye Disconsolate - the sounds of gospel soar through the air - must have music from extraordinary talents.
- the birth of smooth soul

I'm not sure who wrote the album review, but Flack and Hathaway had been collaborating since their days as Howard University music students; this album didn't introduce them to each other, it introduced the *rest of the world* to their talent. From gospel to covers of James Taylor songs, this one was as good an album as ever there was. Everyone who admires good soul music should buy it. This is my third copy: first on wax, then cassette, now MP3. It's a classic and I recommend it highly.
- This album is excellent.

This is one the best duet Rhythm and Blues albums ever made. You've Got a Friend, which has been covered by many artists outside of the R&B/Soul genre, is indeed a classic. Ms. Flack's and the late Mr. Hathaway's musical personalities clearly compliment each other. For all of you old school R&B/Soul duet fans, this is definitely the album for you.
