    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

      @Domzdream yes unfortunately time has gone by so ever quickly. Having said that raised on the old R &B music. Unfortunately the artists are no longer with us, gratefully the 🎶 still lives on. It perhaps mainly depending on who wants to listen where it all began.

    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.

    Do you also find the feelings of the song, are found in the reality of a heart listening as it sings truthfully to a soul that feels the same love.
