Roberta Flack Feel Like Makin Love Rare
3rd track from 'The Very Best Of Roberta Flack' (2006). Originally the 5th track from 'Feel Like Makin' Love' (1974). When I learned last autumn there was a remastered version of this sweet, jazzy, R&B classic but that it wasn't on YouTube, I knew I had to remedy the situation. But after uploading it, I found it was blocked worldwide due to copyright claims.
But now the block is lifted—at least for now. So enjoy it while you can, folks! These things tend to come and go. The remastered version is a welcome addition for lovers of smooth, in particular because the original version was recorded at low volume/bass levels and lacks the sonic oomph necessary to fit comfortably into a playlist of more recently recorded songs. The compilation CD includes several other remastered hits as well, and AllMusic reviewer Rob Theakston says it's 'easily the best retrospective of her work available to date.' So yay—way to go, Rhino!

His cover version features a sound and heavy use of multi-tracking for vocals. It was initially planned as a duet with R&B singer. Although tapes were sent via FedEx between the two, the collaboration between D'Angelo and Hill was aborted and the song was instead recorded solo. According to producer and drummer, the duet failed to materialize due to 'too many middle men. I don't think Lauryn and D ever talked face-to-face.' Mistakenly, some critics who later reviewed the album's track assumed that Lauryn Hill's vocals are present in the recording. According to Questlove's review of Voodoo at, the song's production was also managed by late producer, as Questlove stated 'jay dee did the lauryn track'.
