Flack, Roberta, Quiet Fire

NEW VINYL LP ON STRONGLY FELT 1971/2025

1 X 180 GRAM VINYL LP

First released in November 1971, American soul legend Roberta Flack's third studio album remains one of her most celebrated works. Throughout Quiet Fire, Flack channels the deep emotion of gospel into a refined, measured intensity while delivering elongated sighing phrases that convey plenty of grace and power. Jazz, gospel, Southern influences and folk-country touches all emerge and Flack's rendition of the Bee Gees' 'To Love Somebody' transforms the pop hit into a slow-burning, soulful ballad, while her take on 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' infuses the classic with gospel warmth and resilience to make this a wonderful collection of emotionally resonant performances.
