Editorial Reviews

By the time the 1980s rolled around, Peabo Bryson was a bona fide R&B/quiet storm star, and Born to Love further solidified his place in the upper echelon of not only R&B, but pop music as well. A full album of duets with Roberta Flack (who has the knack of pairing herself with quality singing partners), the most obvious hit on the record was the opening track. "Tonight I Celebrate My Love" became a bona fide phenomenon on the R&B charts, became a highly requested wedding song, and has been licensed to numerous compilations over the years. There are some other quality songs on this record (the Bacharach/Bayer Sager penned "Blame It on Me" and the minor hit "You're Lookin' Like Love to Me"), but they all unquestionably remain in the giant shadow of "Tonight." Not an essential album by any means, but nonetheless an enjoyable listen. -All Music Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars PURE ROMANTIC SOUL, August 15, 2004

I have this album in four different formats: eight track, vinyl, audio cassette, and cd. That's how much I love it. I know that sounds insane. But really, I have loved this album since I was little kid. It's Roberta and Peabo at their best. And it's perfect to get you in the mood for love. That's all this album is from beginnig to end - pure romantic soul.

This review is from: Born to Love (Audio Cassette)

This is not to review the music from Born to love, of course I already loved the
album 30 years ago. This is just a heads up to those who want to buy the cassette
like I did.

Remeber this cassette is over 30 years old (mine was new). I can't remember the
technical name but the small square cushion under the tape that braces the tape
against the read head, came off after one play.

You can either glue it back-be very careful on the amount used or move the
entire tape to another cassette case. Point is, cassettes has seen their days,
try to put it on current media storage and not keep playing the cassette on a
cassette player.

It was very hard for me to get this recording on CD format until 2005. One of the finest Roberta Flack recordings especially " Maybe " and " Making love " and what a feeling Roberta put on these songs.Born to Love
