5.0 out of 5 starsMADE ME A FLACK JUNKIE
By R. Penola on December 13, 1999
Format: Audio CD
This album is aboslutely intoxicating, and features some of the most perfectly produced pop music of the 70s. Roberta Flack's arrangement of SUZANNE is right up there with AMERICAN PIE as one of the best story-songs ever recorded. And NO TEARS IN THE END features that Flack specialty, hooking into the musical phrase with the most power and repeating it ad infinitum to deliriously effective results. I loved this album then; I love it more now. I am all grown up! And so is Roberta's reading of virtually all of these songs.

5.0 out of 5 starsHer last great album before venturing into a MOR career
By A Customer on July 30, 2002
Format: Audio CD
Roberta Flack's recording career traces back to 1968 but it wasn't until 1973 that she achieved widespread commercial success with "Killing Me Softly With This Song (KMSWTS)". Sure, she had had major successes prior to that with "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" as well as four chart albums including a collaboration with Donny Hathaway but her relationship with the pop audience was always compromised by the fact that she was perceived as a serious black artiste....and classically trained at that.
So, riding on the back of her massive hit with KMSWTS, "Killing Me Softly (KMS)" presented the ideal opportunity for her to achieve a convincing cross over. No, she didn't sell out and make an all out pop album but she did include more commercial elements in it than was evident in her earlier albums. While Joel Dorn remained firmly at the producer's helm and Roberta's love for slow moody ballads (eg, "Jesse", "I Am The Girl") was still very much evident judging by her choice of material, the kitschy "When You Smile" seemed more than a casual nod at the supper club crowd. As it turned out, "KMS" was the precursor to the smooth midnight soul of "Feel Like Making Love" in 1975 and a couple more steps away from her metamorphosis into full fledged MOR artiste by the time she made "Blue Lights In The Basement" in 1977.
Be that as it may, "KMS" was an excellent album showcasing wonderful performances by Roberta throughout, particularly on the title track and on Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" which closes the album on a deeply resonant note. The gently rocking "River", the funky "No Tears (In The End)" and the lovely "Conversation Love" are other highlights showcasing Roberta's versatility.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSongs, music, arrangements, passion, highly influential...
By Nathan on June 17, 2002
Format: Audio CD
Like the man who was once her duet partner, Donny Hathaway, Roberta Flack completely personalizes every song she sings, an' imprints so much class an' passion into every vocal performance that to overlook her is to overlook the very essence of great soul music. Anyone who listens to hip-hop or R&B knows her influence is pretty apparent. The simmering an' hypnotic ballad 'Killing Me Softly' opens the album, a beautiful song that was thankfully resurrected by Lauryn Hill and the Fugees, and 'Jesse' is an even more potent song that was memorably sampled by Puff Daddy a few years back on one of his rare poignant moments. Lotta the songs on this album could be torch songs sung in some smoky jazz club, particularly the lush and beautiful 'I'm the Girl'. There's also the Gospel-tinged middle-of-the-road song 'River' and she kicks a swingin', an' infectious number in 'When You Smile', definitely a golden oldie. My favorite joint though is 'No Tears (In the End)', somethin' in that song struck me heavily for some reason, and helped me one step closer to moving on from a very tough break-up. Music is the best medicine sometimes.
Classy, urbane, reserved, smooth, and sophisticated - all the ways you could describe Roberta Flack. If you're a young'n (the under-25 category) like me, an' just getting into the true soul-empowered R&B of the '60s and '70s don't sleep on this woman any longer. If you don't buy this, arguably her finest studio recording, then buy something, ANYTHING from her. For the most part, you can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy best advice...
By A Customer on April 3, 2004
Format: Audio CD
I can only say on thing about Roberta: there's you and there's Aretha. I'm not kidding, and on this set, her most soulful album ever, you'll see what I mean. Roberta Flack is an artist, period. Her voice is truly amazing, so strong and yet so soft, and always on key...and this voice comes from a former piano player and elementary school teacher. One of the highlights here is "Jesse," which is not available elsewhere - it's one of her best vocals ever.

4.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful classy soul album
By Sasha VINE VOICE on June 23, 2011
Format: Audio CD
Calm,soothing and elegant collection of songs that starts with Flack's magical interpretation of Lori Lieberman's "Killing me softly" (and do check the original - it's almost as powerful,in a different way) and from there it just floats in smoke circles.

Flack weaves magic around mostly ballad set,her mellow voice lulling listener into daydreaming - where others would scream and shout,she is 100% soul singer by the virtue of staying composed. The choice of songs is also very interesting because it hints at artists personality - instead of relying on hit-makers or trendy rock & soul covers, she reaches far into classy cabaret songbook (haunting "I am the girl" recorded decades ago by Sylvia Symms) or goes for mock-jazzy, quasi-1930s number "When you smile" that wouldn not be out of place in the movies like "Bonnie & Clyde" or "The Sting".

On the other hand,in the hands of Roberta Flack,Cohen's "Susanne" turns into hypnotizing,almost new-age dance - this is what covers should be,completely re-intventing originals and bringing a personal touch to them
