Having a wonderful Christmas with Roberta
You can't go wrong with Roberta Flack. . and this album will put your heart in the holiday mood.


Feels Good
It ranges from joyful to melancholy with the depth and soulfulness that Roberta delivers everytime. It is filled with the spirit of the holidays and all of the good things that make me look forward to this time of year.

I remain one of her greatest fans and this cd is a clear example why I consider her one of the greatest vocalists of our time.


One of my favorite Christmas albums!
Roberta Flack is a class act and this set of songs features some beautiful interpretations, particularly "Little Drummer Boy," "The Christmas Song" and "We Three Kings. If you want some mellow, soulful and tasteful Christmas music with no frills and a fine voice, this is the way to go. "
The Melissa Manchester song "There's Still My Joy" is lovely and Flack's original "25th of Last December" is melancholy set to music. As far as pop music Christmas albums go, this ranks in my top three, with Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis the other two. Highly recommended-especially if you are ready to bash your radio in after hearing "Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer" or other such gimmicky Christmas songs one time too many-this will be your respite-there is no 'gimmick'here-just lovely holiday music, sung by one of popular music's best voices.


beautiful
It could be better but the voice is good enough. This album is beautiful that's all I have to say. If certain reviewers thinks it's so bad than why keep the name am place where they are from blank?! Just asking.


Laid-back, Soulful Christmas
"When There's Love" and "25th of Last December" have a lovely syncopated beat. Every cut on this CD is imbued with deep, soulful energy. "Because This Child Was Born" is given the full choir-and-orchestra treatment. A duet with Peobo Bryson, "As Long as There's Christmas," is lush and spirited. Ms. Flack's take on that perennial chestnut "The Christmas Song" is particularly personal. Yes, the tempos on this album are on the slow side, as other listeners have noted. But there are times in the busy holiday season when we need to sloooowww down. This CD is a perfect antidote for holiday stress.
