Seeing you two expressing your love makes me miss my husband who died nearly four years ago. We were married 49 years when he died, and we'd been through a lot of challenges. We also went through a lot of adventures.
An absolutely beautiful song and an all time classic, sung by two stunning vocalists. The vocals of Roberta and Donny is forever a winning combination and one of my all time favourites. They create magic.
Their duet Where is The Love? was #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the year 1972. It also won them a Grammy for Best Pop Performance By a Duo or Group in 1973. Donny passed away in 1979 ,a year after this song was a hit
They sang so beautifully together! Donny left us far too soon and struggled with mental issues 'til the end when he fell to his death from his NY hotel suite which was ruled to be suicide. thanks for sharing Shawn & Mel :)
Duets by Roberta & Donny were incredible and life changing!!! "Back Together Again" is a MUST HEAR duet from this duo!!! One of my favorite Roberta Flack songs it "Making Love," from the movie of the same name!!!
We need to see more couples in the community that genuinely love each other and naturally express that love. It's a beautiful thing to behold. Very inspirational. Thank you.
Para mi Roberta flack es una diva del soul de los 70, tenía solo 12 años cuando escuché el éxito killing me sofly en 1973 en una radio am en Santiago de Chile. Pero mi favorita es no more tears un the ende.su dulce voz hace vibrar cada fibra de mi corazón, un estilo romántico que estremece a cualquiera. Gracias por existir Roberta, en los ochenta pude verla en un programa de TV en Chile como invitada estelar. Viva el soul
This is such a great song back then and still today. Roberta's and Donny's voice so good together. You must react to their other duet...."Where is the Love".
Roberta Flack won the Grammy back to back 1972 and 73 for first time ever I saw your face and killing me softly. Great artist, many songs with Donny Hathaway as well. A underrated gem is her duet with Maxi Priest. "Set the night to music" it's just fabulous
I am so happy you reacted to Roberta flack and Donnie Hathaway he was amazing unfortunately he committed suicide in the late 70s if you can will you react to Wildflower by skylark there lead singer just died Feb his name was Donnie Gerard he again was amazing and they love you guys Thankyou
great song, thanks for reacting. One of my all time favorite songs by Roberta Flack is the studio version of 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.' Try that out when u get a moment. Powerful & subtle ballad.
This is the same Donny Hathaway from a Song for You. That one had Shawn in tears. Together or separately they r fire. Donny also made This Christmas. U know, 🎶hang all the mistletoe, Im gonna get to know u better🎶
Yup, they sure don't make songs like this no more, but You guys keep this music Alive!!❤️ I haven't heard this in a long long time, gonna DL it!!!💕💖💞 Thank You, Great reaction!!🥰
We really need these types of songs back in our lives as today's artists don't give us this pure absolute quality,ive always absolutely loved the sound of Roberta Flacks voice and one of my favourite tunes of all time is The first time ever i saw your face,love her.❤🏴
Please tell the whole story. Donny was diagnosed with schizophrenia years before. People didn't understand schizophrenia back then and he wasn't always taking his medication. It wasn't like he wanted to die.
The real story has to do with the experiments being done on Donny's brain that had 0 to do with Schizophrenia. Btw, Donny didn't unalive himself. There's no way he could have removed that safety glass without specific tools not available to a hotel guest.
Lyric, Melody, Vocalists, musicians....= PERFECTION! Donny and Roberta emote through this tune a lot of ALOHA!! Many wedding and anniversary receptions played this back in the day!! And yes...you NEED to hear their other classic "Where is the Love"...
Love this duet it’s such a timeless classic. Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway made and amazing duo. Not sure if you’ve reacted to it yet but Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright have an amazing duet “With you I’m born again “. Please give it a listen, I know you both will love it!
One of my all time favorites. This was my husband and I's first dance when we got married... still rocking it with my best friend 20 years later in June. Its been a wonderful ride. Thanks for doing this one. Great memories for sure.
I gotta say, it's always great seeing a great Black power couple like yourselves reacting to my fav duet artists in Roberta and Donnie...keep that game going yall
❤Glad you appreciate this song. This was our first dance at our wedding !! And we are still going strong !! Great voices of Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack.
I was a little girl when I would hear this song, not understanding a word but Donny’s voice melted my heart it evoque feeling of longing and bliss. RIP Donny I’m sorry 😢💐
Shawn and Mel . You two are bringing tears in my eyes. Making me smile. The sweet things you say to one another on this reaction. To marry your best friend, is a beautiful things. A BEAUTIFUL THING. ❤❤❤ Peace & Love. My favorite Couple.
Do you remember the television show Martin, there's a episode where Hina is singing this song with Keith Washington..it's hysterical..check out Mr Hathaway daughter Layla she's amazing
Y'all are so real and authentic. I recently discovered your channel and love some of the music choices. Can't wait to see more reactions to old school soul music 🎶
Love seeing your reaction to this beautiful duet. This songs takes me back to 6th grade slow dancing with this girl name Amy. I’ll never forget that moment.
60s-70s-80s R&B is real romance, for sure! Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway "Where Is the Love?" and this one (TCIGTY), Peaches & Herb "Reunited" some great slow jams!
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell/ Ashford and Simpson/ Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway among others had music that can make couples feel warm and comfortable with each other
My favorite favorite duet singers and they do a bunch! Donnie is my number one favorite! And I do love Roberta also! But Donnie Hathaway is pretty close to heaven for me! You need to do some of his videos! That man was taken from us too soon! 😇💜❤️
Dang I felt like I had to leave my own room😂😂😂 you guys are so sweet♥️♥️♥️♥️ Always loved Roberta Flack alone and with the talented Mr.Donny Hathaway may he RIP♥️ Check out thier other songs...”where is the love” “You are my love you are my heaven” They are AWESOME Love you both!!!!!!

Roberta Flack does duet with Peabo Bryson called "Tonight I Celebrate My Love" (1983) which is another very romantic song.
One of my favorite love songs!!
Best Duo Ever!!!!
So love Roberta Flack's voice....but if you want to listen an amazing love song, try, Peaches & Herb singing "Reunited"....Classic love song!!
Love your connection/love for each other. Music enhances that!
Checkout "Killing Me Softly" (covered by the Fugees), "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", or Tonight I Celebrate My Love". All beautiful songs.
Absolutely. Such great songs
I think Roberta Flacks version is the best. Perhaps that is just nostalgia working on me...
You two give me goose bumps by your affectionate gestures towards each other...
Your love for each other is what most people hope for!
