Roberta Flack - Back Together Again

Recorded live in Nagoya, Japan for the Japan TV program 'WoWoW'. Roberta & the band are absolutely on fire in one of my favorite performances! Buddy Williams' pocket is killin'! Roberta loved the mix of Roger Byam's sax & my synths to get that crazy fat horn section sound. The band is: (Left to Right) Gabrielle Goodman, Dennis Collins & on Vocals. Gary Fritz (perc.), (Me) Gene Williams (keys), Buddy Williams (dr), Barry Miles (MD/keys), Ruben Rodriguez (bs) & Phil Hamilton (gtr) & Roger Byam (sax)

Wow Gene! Thanks a ton for uploading this awesome concert version of such a fabulous song! Is that you rockin' in the Sox shirt? I love the uptempo and you're right, Buddy is definitely rocking in the pocket! Is there any way to get this on MP3? I've got a bunch of friends who would LOVE to hear this version!

@DakKris Yes. That's me in the Sox shirt... After doing tons of R&B gigs with various artists over the years, I now realize how much Roberta let me get away with! I used to wear all sorts of sports related stuff on stage..as long as it was black. As classy as her show was..She never told me not to wear it... I guess she thought it was hip & funky! Unless Japan pulled a fast one & re released the audio from this show as a CD... (And they HAVE been known to do that...) This is not available.

@DakKris ...But this is YouTube! I'm sure if your friends would love to hear this...Just tell them to log on!

I wish the bass player did the extra bass feel that gives this song such an insatiable groove on the record. Nonetheless, this is badass sounding. I love me some Roberta Flack.

[Jamaicafunk]

@TokenRah That's Ruben Rodriguez...One of the most versitile bassists in the business! His groove is no joke!

@theoriginalsafinette I remember when this song first came out, along with "You Are My Heaven" . This was my highway song. She and Donny were meant to be, as far as duets go...Roberta & Donny, Nick & Val...Why aren't there dynamic duets like this today?
