Roberta Flack & Peabo Bryson The Closer I Get To You

[@guidoch7]

Peabo might be one of the most underrated and one of the greatest singers of all time

[@DDavis-mj1bu]

So very true!

[@jeromechandler2626]

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!

[@Jiron127]

He's in the tevin Campbell tier

[@kellysharp5724]

He was great I know that!

[@Mark_Thompson]

Agreed 👍🏽

[@BaddieZooms]

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

[@SantiagoTM1]

[@williethomas9953]

Nobody could ever take Donny's place but Peabo tore it up here!!

[@georgearmour5259]

Today’s music can’t match music like this .I’m glad I’m 66 and lived with great music like this

[@danjones6702]

this is real R&B not the crap they produce now a days

[@jjsteel43]

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

[@twowaditty8325]

YES

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

[@0patience4flz]

I was 6 fighting for my life ...in a hospital...Roberta Flack was all over the radio..I'll always love her as the angel she is.

[@zjenki9]

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.

[@ninobrown5363]

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

[@derickg73]

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.

Miss the beautiful ballads and terrific duets of the 80’s!

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.

OMG Roberta your voice is truly magical, What a beautiful tribute to your friend Donny. RIP.

[@SimpsonSound]

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.
