Real Grown Folk R&B Music Peabo Bryson effortlessly wraps his rich tenor around classic ballets and duets amazingly with Roberta Flack. This is an excellent live recording by two phenomenal artists. Don't let the age of this release fool you (roughly 1983), it's loaded with tracks from both their musical catalogs and offers real music. I had this recording and lost it, but I'm GRATEFUL to find it again!!! "Live & More's" music is for the grown and sexy and will provide perfect background music for romantic evenings. One can't help but hear the late Luther Vandross working out vocally in the background. For a much needed break from some of todays' R&B acts, this definitely is a must have!!!!.
Dont go crazy to have this one
Other than that, the list of songs are good, but the audio recording was not what I thought it would be. I would have given this a 5, but the recording of this was bad. I understand this stuff was recorded back in the day, but come on now.
Another good thing was to hear Luther Vandross all over this singing backgrounds! .
Essential Live CD
After much hesitation, I recently purchased this CD. I usually don't care much for live CDs. Man, am I glad I made that decision. This CD is fantastic!
Both artists are in top form, sounding very energetic and they compliment each other very well. This set features both live solo performances as well as duets.
Of particular interest to me was Roberta's reading of the late Gwen Guthrie's "God Don't Like Ugly". Her live performance of this song has always been more bouncy and vigorous than the version she originally recorded on the 'Roberta Flack Featuring Donny Hathaway' album.
Bryson sounds as soulful and stunning as ever, putting in a superb performance on each and every song. Both he and Flack are consummate artists.
If you dig either artist, this CD is absolutely essential for your collection. It is a pure delight from beginning to end.
Two (actually three) of the greatest voices....
I have a special place in my heart for this CD. the world has had the pleasure of hearing. I bought the album when it was released over 20 years ago. . . . almost wore it out! And I once sang "If Only For One Night" in a talent competition. This was before Luther did the song and worked his magic on it (there was no magic when I sang it). And speaking of Luther. . . guess who's doing background vocals on this album. Yes, Luther, before he stepped up to the foreground! Both Roberta and Peabo have wonderful voices and together, they are fantastic as well. By now, some of the songs are a little dated but if you like both of these singers, the songs work because of the singers.
a must
Roberta Flack&Peabo Bryson sound Great together. this a classic Soulful Live Album. the songs&vibe are right on time. this is a must have.
