Chapter two is the best album ever, the songs are incredible and Ms. flack is flawless, though i love every song she sings, this is beautiful, I know her in person, she gave a ring as a present in Chile in the 90s, I’m very lucky, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. The same as Blair sayd, it was an obsession to me,too. I listen to it every day of my life.

This album was my late night go-to record back in the fall of 1999. The first side was my favorite. There was something about the gentleness of Roberta’s tone that was well matched with the orchestrations. In some way a soulful companion to Joni Mitchell’s “Blue”. Eventhough I like and cherish “Blue” more now, “Chapter Two” was an obsession.

[...] & Herb – The glory of reconciliation after a couple had a bad breakup. A timeless subject. The Closer I Get to You – Donny Hathaway & Roberta Flack – This song hits the sweet spot. Better than the cover of this song by Beyonce and Luther Vandross. [...]

Sweet. Nice to read the lyrics. A pleasure to hear the song again. Good commentary. U gotta give Eugene McDaniels his due though. The original “100 Pounds of Clay” man was (& hopefully still is) a force in his own right. You do good work on your blog, Phil :) Thanks. John – Atlanta, GA, USA
