I don’t typically think of myself as a prude, but this one (not to mention Marvin’s ‘Sexual healing’) seemed just a wee bit too blatant to me, and really the music itself is a little bland. A good vocal job by her though.
I like best her duets with Donny Hathaway.
Perhaps not as strong as “Killing Me Softly,” though still a pretty enjoyable tune, IMHO. Great vocals!
