Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway – Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway (LP)
Label: Music On Vinyl – MOVLP2491, Atlantic – SD 7216
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue
Country: Europe
Released: Aug 30, 2019
Genre: Funk / Soul
Style: Soul
The 1972 Atlantic release Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway is a million-selling duet album by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway produced by Joel Dorn and Arif Mardin.
Flack and Hathaway were both solo artists on the Atlantic roster who'd enjoyed critical acclaim, but Flack had enjoyed limited commercial success. Both had attended Howard University, although Flack's attendance there pre-dated Hathaway's. The singers' careers had overlapped, however: Flack had included Hathaway compositions on her First Take and Chapter Two albums, with the latter also featuring Hathaway as pianist, arranger and background vocalist. It was Jerry Wexler who suggested that a joint venture might consolidate Flack and Hathaway's popularity.
