Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway

One of the greatest pairings in music history, legendary icons, Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway, released a masterpiece in 1971 with their self titled release, "Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway". The organic effort with rootsy soul remains one of their finest outings and a testament to their undeniable chemistry. The album was a dominate force on the Billboard charts.

"Blue Lights in the Basement" is the sixth studio album by American singer Roberta Flack released by Atlantic on December 13, 1977. The album was a commercial success, peaking at number eight on the US Billboard 200, becoming her third consecutive top-ten album on the chart and reaching number five on the R&B albums chart. The album features the single "The Closer I Get to You", a duet with best friend and fellow soul musician Donny Hathaway, which became the biggest hit from the album, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reaching #1 on the Hot Soul Singles chart. The collaboration with Hathaway would be one of his final singles released in his lifetime before his death in 1979.

"Roberta Flack Featuring Donny Hathaway" is Roberta Flack's ninth album, released in 1980.

Flack finished the rest of the record on her own.
