    I created this acapella from a live performance. Her cover was released in 1972. The Fugees released their version in 1996. What’s your favourite?

      But being older we grew up with both,The James Browns ,the Aretha’s and the Supremes and other black women groups wearing lashes and wigs,as well as the Roberta’s,the Minnie’s,Nina’s ,the Dionne’s.We are diverse and always have been but agree these new so called artist who know nothing about artistry,talent,stage presence,a voice period ,I still do not get why they are famous.It is all hype when these new artist would not be able to even be in any stage because they would get booed off,things thrown at them and none of solo artist can sit,play a instrument,stand flat footed and sing.The young folks do not get this whom support these people until they see videos like this if our older artist and you them in the comments flabbergasted at what they see and hear.

      When this song came out was a time when a singer went into a studio they recorded with a full band or orchestra. Today most of the time everything is electronic with drum machines. That's why you don't see musicians in the studio while an artist is recording. Some do but not all. Record companies save money that way today.

      Wow! How Fortune smiled on you, to have been right there just steps away from this great singer! I heard this on a flight from Vancouver to Tokyo to Hong Kong. I listened through the whole in-flight recording of other inferior songs (no controls like ffd or rwd, repeat etc), until it came up again and I did this for hours and hours so I could hear it again and again! The flight was over 16 long ours and I was 9 years old. A lifetime has passed yet this angelic voice takes captive of me every time like the first. My heart melts in the beauty of this, the perfect union of music, voice, and words from such beautiful soul. This must be a mere glimpse of heaven, in all of its magnificence! A flawless gift from God, by way of Roberta Flack, his child and our sister! Thank you, Father, and thank you, Ms. Flack, and Thank You too, to each of you who made this possible for the entire world to hear and love! it means so much to me and so many, and I feel too, that it is one on the soundtrack of my life and so much a part of my being, that it will live with me forever, and like love, it will easily survive beyond the end of time itself! Thank you, so very, very dearly, Ms. Roberta, I am sorry to God and to you that the true depth of my gratitude can never be fully expressed. In your honour and the souls of other great composers and musicians I've gone on to study classical voice and music history and theory in university. It was her influence (from hearing her on that flight that onward), without which, I may have never even considered it. Again, I thank you, my true lady and my true God!

      Legend has it that classical/jazz guitarist Earl Klug who was about 19 years old and playing on this song was the muse/ inspiration for it.
