YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, BUT HE’S BEEN MY FAVORITE ARTIST FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS AND THROUGH LOTS OF TOUGH TIMES IN MY LIFE! PB is an awesome talent!
Awww, what talent to honor Donny in such a beautiful way! Roberta sings this so clear and sharp to the senses, Lookout Peabo, thanks for saluding the master of this song. You got your own way of making women “give in” when you sing your love songs ❤
Roberta flack and Peabo Bryson make absolutely remarkable duets. I love this kind of team power, from the energy in their voices to the emotion they bring out. Everything is outstanding. No one does this better, we'll love you forever 💖
I saw them in concert in Westbury Long Island it was an out of body experience. It felt like as floating. More then just a concert. Ray charles was there he performed " Georgia ". Unbelievable night.
I saw Peabo Bryson in an outdoor theater near Glendale California. He walked through the audience singing during his performance. What a voice. He killed it the whole performance.
Beautiful!! Roberta Flack is my favorite female artist of all time. Donny is one of my favorite male artist of all time. I remember watching a performance of Roberta and Peabo not long after Donny died and they were singing this song. I thought to myself that no one could fill in for Donny's part then I heard Peabo. He did it his own way and it's perfect! I still feel this way today and that was over 35 years ago. Peabo is no doubt one of the greatest R&B singers of all time in my book.
Music has really changed. There is no more ballads that have meaning. The songs of today are savage. Don't get me wrong, there are some good ones. Different times.
My mother use to listen to this when I was a little boy. It brings me back and realize how the music back then was so much better. Roberta has so many great songs.
To me, real R&B music doesn't exist anymore these days. The past from the 90's and earlier will always be around but no new real R&B music is being made these days
Two GOATS heavenly deliver one of the greatest duets ever written!! If you can’t sing it with the original (all hail Donny!!), than do him honor and sing it with one of the best ever!!
Peabo Bryson is one of my favorite male artist. One of his hit song Reach for the Sky was a phenomenal hit the lyrics was incredible. The 70s sound really could touch your soul!!! Thanks Brother for your great contribution to the music industry!!! Shack
I remember hearing this song for the first time in college around 1997. Unreal. I was mesmerized. Iwish i could hear it for the first 10 times again. And Peabo here, Jeezus! Sssick!!!
I seen Miss Roberta Flack at the Tangier in Akron, Ohio back in the 80's. She was a bit under the weather with upper respiratory issues and came out on stage a little late. She had so much class! She apologized and promised to make it up to us, then she put on a show I'll never forget. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, I listen daily I’m 64 yrs old and grew up on these songs, Nothing compares to the 70s & 80s music wise. I think it all makes me feel younger
62. & you're absolutely right.
Ha 4561z my number life is sweet not mud peace
I'm 65, we already know. That was music!!
57 and still loving it.
55 and my soul thrives on it
Happy blessed birthday Peabo Bryson 🥰💚💛❤️💜💙we share the same birthday and it's today 4/13/24 happy blessed birthday to us🥰and Brotha Al Green
The best of the best. Those were singers!!
This the most beautiful duet 😊
@rithtealer2559 absolutely, they blended so well together
Peabo might be one of the most underrated and one of the greatest singers of all time
So very true!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, BUT HE’S BEEN MY FAVORITE ARTIST FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS AND THROUGH LOTS OF TOUGH TIMES IN MY LIFE! PB is an awesome talent!

An amazing duet, pure singing without instrumental enhancement. A true Roberta Flack sound.

Peabo is a vocal master and Roberta's voice is as smooth as silk!
She has the clearest silky voice. I love her! Legendary !
Peabo is the best make vocalist ever
Today’s music can’t match music like this .I’m glad I’m 66 and lived with great music like this

Time seems to fly back... Love song. Greetings from Brazil
Roberta Flack sings so beautifully and has done so over many years. Peabo accomplices her so well. A magic carpet ride to a beautiful time.

Roberta flack and Peabo Bryson make absolutely remarkable duets. I love this kind of team power, from the energy in their voices to the emotion they bring out. Everything is outstanding. No one does this better, we'll love you forever 💖
I saw them in concert in Westbury Long Island it was an out of body experience. It felt like as floating. More then just a concert. Ray charles was there he performed " Georgia ". Unbelievable night.
I’m 70 and I grew up in The UK. I had all Roberta Flack Albums she was the best. No one like her.
I saw Peabo Bryson in an outdoor theater near Glendale California. He walked through the audience singing during his performance. What a voice. He killed it the whole performance.
This music is real and heartfelt. Legendary!
We need it back
Amen to that Regina.
Roberta Flack has a very unique & special voice- it's beautiful !
my fave in my 60 years of livin :))))
Bèautìfully done thanks😅
One word, timbre..
Beautiful!! Roberta Flack is my favorite female artist of all time. Donny is one of my favorite male artist of all time. I remember watching a performance of Roberta and Peabo not long after Donny died and they were singing this song. I thought to myself that no one could fill in for Donny's part then I heard Peabo. He did it his own way and it's perfect! I still feel this way today and that was over 35 years ago. Peabo is no doubt one of the greatest R&B singers of all time in my book.
I agree
James Simpson muito bom de ouvir Samos da antiga
Great. Songs
Yes, she is a big star. I love also Dionne Warwick. I am from Brazil.
James Simpson beautiful
Praying that Peabo Bryson makes a full recovery.....His voice is legendary, an amazing singer..
What's wrong with him
@@davidmmd7907 He had a mild heart attack.
top de mais !!
Hope so too, we already lose James Ingram we cant afford to lose pebo
Roberta was also unwell sometime last year I hope she fully recovered. Love them both.
Music has really changed. There is no more ballads that have meaning. The songs of today are savage. Don't get me wrong, there are some good ones. Different times.
Songs today are absolutely trash!!
ALL OF THEM
I Can't name one good song that I would call good. Music died around 2012 in my opinion
......more like the turn of the 21st century.@@ninobrown5363
This is one of the greatest songs of all time. Two of the greatest singers of all time. And I miss Donny!!!
Absolutely beautiful! We need more of this talent now in 2023!
OMG...Peabo's vocals....gets me misty eyed. Just love that voice, especially with Roberta Flack.
He is one of my top favorites
I'm feeling it too Jeffery Pueblos!
So glad Peabo Bryson has released a brand new set of hits!!
Getting my copy for Christmas!
I've always loved Roberta's voice and style. She doesn't over do it or try too hard. She just sings the song.
Yes. ,Peabo Brysons sings wonderful
My best male vocalist of all time. His tone is so beautiful.

I’ve forgotten how great this song really is. They both bleed incredible talent. I’ve got goosebumps watching and listening to this video.
This was when music was wonderful, soulful and meant something to us.
Awesome Beautiful I am a fan of both Roberta and Peabo but I have a love for Peabo. Blessings to both of U. Pastor Renee
Just love how Roberta nods to Peabo to finish it in perfection!
Nobody could ever take Donny's place but Peabo tore it up here!!

My mother use to listen to this when I was a little boy. It brings me back and realize how the music back then was so much better. Roberta has so many great songs.
this is real R&B not the crap they produce now a days
To me, real R&B music doesn't exist anymore these days. The past from the 90's and earlier will always be around but no new real R&B music is being made these days
YES
Ms. Flack is a timeless beauty and her voice is so incredible. This song is an all time favorite of mine and Peabo does nice job filling in for Don.
I grew up listening to Peabo Bryson. My dad got me listening to him. This is real soul music when you feel it.
i'll bet she's never sang a bad note in her life.
She s a certified school teacher. She would never fault in front of her former students,LOL.

She's a class act, giving a nod to Donny, and Peabo does the song justice
Then what did you expect from the brilliant Robert 'Peabo' Bryson.
Even her speaking voice is so sweeeet

Beautiful! Makes life worth living and so sweet to the ears 🙏 thanks for sharing
Love some peabo and he and Roberta are just great together.miss Donny still.
I seen Miss Roberta Flack at the Tangier in Akron, Ohio back in the 80's. She was a bit under the weather with upper respiratory issues and came out on stage a little late. She had so much class! She apologized and promised to make it up to us, then she put on a show I'll never forget. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I bet that show was still amazing.
Waving from CLE.
Two amazing voices! Roberta Flack is still beautiful. Peobo Bryson knocked it out of the park for Donny!
Both beautiful voices. My gosh. Miss Flack's voice is so soft and soothing ❤
Great performance. Peabo was outstanding. Roberta too. Donny would be filled with gratitude.
This was so beautiful I had to run that back 4 times!! Man they just don't make music like this anymore.
Beautifully smooth!!!😊
Roberta Flack is 87 now. She and Peabo were both stars, and they'll remain that way forever.
Peabo is 73.
Genius rendition ....... Two legends and she nailed the studio version to the tee
Great to watch such beautiful people who own such adorable voices
