At present, these two ladies are one class apart. Wonder when will a Gaga, winwin or any new lady in the block will reach this class. I hope that this will not be when hell freezes...Miss Huston could had been one but like the Rose, grugs destroyed that opportunity.
@gyovannirobson Because the generation idolizing Gaga needs to be turned onto Roberta Flack, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Luther VanDross, Pattie LaBelle, Seals and Crofts, America, Crosby Still and Nash, The Manhattans, Barry White..etc..etc...All the people I love now (God rest those who have passed) and from when I was a kid. I remember "Killing me Softly" swimming at a local pool and it just made my heart soar..Love you Roberta !! God we need a 60's-70's music revival...........
Je recommence enfin ce deuil, à vivre et cela va déjà mieux, alors, n'oublies jamais Abdel tout ce que tu notes...! Ce qu'elle a fait !!! A relire pour souvenirs beaucoup plus tard.
Non ! Je ne pense pas une seconde que ce soit une salope. Elle a un coeur qui ne peut se séparer en deux et elle a fait un choix, celui qui lui semble le plus sûr. Mais, dans ces cas, elle doit cesser d'aller vers celui qu'elle a mis au ban et lui prouver son amour en le laissant se construire un amour, c'est tout. Il a assez subi comme ça une réelle trahison, alors, elle peut au moins lui donner ça. Et, elle lui a réellement rendue service...Et ça, c'est un vrai service...merci
I love the combination of these two voices. Dionne could have easily over-powered Roberta, but she held back and kept the song "simple and easy" as it was originally intended. I never really *loved* Roberta until I saw her open for Dionne in a concert outside of Philly in the 80's. I always thought Roberta was bland and one dimensional. However, she completely changed my mind that night. She had the audience in the palm of her hand, and then Dionne came out and brought the house down. Clay
Uh, can you reread what I wrote. I said I "thought" that about Roberts, but my mind was changed when I saw her live. As far as Dionne not being a "belter," I disagree. Dionne is one of the best belters out there. What I like most about Dionne's "belting" is that it is more controlled than Gladys & Aretha, and you can understand every single word she sings. Furthermore, she does it without breaking a sweat, and she does not have to fall to her knees and contort her body and face to do so. Clay
Regarding one dimensional, I was strictly talking about singing (as in range and voice). But you already knew that since you brought up Aretha and Gladys in order to compare to Dionne. First of all, you mistook everything I wrote, and secondly, you start bringing other (unrelated) thoughts to make the point in the argument that you are having with yourself. Again, reread what I wrote and stop wasting my time. Clay
This makes me wish someone would post the Roberta Flack / Peabo Bryson "Live and More" alblum.
L Vandross was singing backup for R Flack. You could tell it was him singing strictly backup only, no lead parts at all. The song I want to hear the most is Feel Like Makin Luv. I can't find it on itune, Napster, nowhere. Not that particular one anyway.
bons tempos essas sao umas das melhores cantoras da minha epoca de jovem
