well yeah trying to do that same Northeastern suit-and-tie supper club kind of music but without the talent, taste, songs, or zeitgeist of the old torch song greats.
The Best of Roberta Flack [Atlantic, 1981]
On the evidence of these hits (the early albums were marginally livelier), she has nothing whatsoever to do with rock and roll or rhythm and blues and almost nothing to do with soul. The analogy isn't Donny Hathaway (who lives on in duet after duet), much less Stevie Wonder (also represented)--it's Barry Manilow. She made "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "Killing Me Softly With His Song," he made "Mandy" and "I Write the Songs," and who is to say which achievement will prove more durable? Flack has much better taste, I agree--that's the point. In the long run, pop lies are improved by vulgarity. C
mommy
Basically.
>that part of her skirt in-between her legs that's stretched because of her thick thighs and wide hips
She looks like she enjoys the company of caucasian men
>half white woman endlessly seeks the approval of white men
many such cases
My dad likes her, she's too old for me.
a cringey New York slurping song for this generation of talentless urbanite wastrels
Slurping song?
Beyonce for people who find Beyonce too obnoxious.
Or I should say Sarah Vaughn for Millenials.
Nonsensical comparison.
peaked on her first single and everything else is awful

Alicia Keys is an R&B singer, anon.
She is the poor man's Roberta Flack if she's the poor man's anything.
She’s a Nesa and it’s in her DNA.
Do you ever wonder what could be in your brain instead of an endless index of every celebrity's dumbass political opinions?
