專輯介紹
Following her hugely successful Killing Me Softly album from 1973, Roberta Flack released her first self-produced album, Feel Like Makin' Love, in 1975 on Atlantic Records. The album was originally scheduled to be produced by Joel Dorn, who had been producer on her previous Atlantic releases; however, Joel abandoned the project due to issues with the record label, leaving Roberta to produce the album herself, which she did under the pseudonym Rubina Flake.
In 1974 the title track spent a week at the top of the Pop Singles Chart and five weeks atop the R&B Singles Chart, eventually going gold. A second single, "Feelin' That Glow," peaked at No. 76 on the Pop Singles Chart and No. 25 on the R&B Singles Chart in 1975. Another highlight from the album is the Stevie Wonder-penned "I Can See the Sun in Late December." Feel Like Makin' Love ultimately peaked at No. 24 on the Pop Albums Chart and No. 5 on the R&B Albums Chart.
Feel Like Makin' Love is currently out of print on CD. This rip is taken from the Japanese pressing, which replicates the original LP cover art more accurately than the domestic CD reissue.
All Music Guide: Capping off a string of early-'70s hits with this album's title track, Roberta Flack would soon take a sabbatical from the spotlight in 1975. And while she would return to the stage and studio, Flack never quite hit the heights of this and the handful of other MOR soul releases from the first half of the decade. Her Carole King-meets-Gladys Knight sound is particularly impressive on highlights like "Mr. Magic" and "Feelin' That Glow." Helping out with the stellar backing are such luminaries as vocalist Patti Austin, drummer Alphonze Mouzon, keyboardist Bob James, and guitarist Hugh McCracken. Maybe not as fine an album as 1971's Quiet Fire, Feel Like Makin' Love will still please the singer's dedicated fans.
