Retro Music Friday - More Song Binging.


This was not my original inspiration for today's RMF. I was looking for Aretha Franklin's Make It With You live from The Filmore West 1971, but alas, it is proving too difficult to find this on a video.
This is The Closer I Get To You by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack. I've been song binging on this tune for about three or four days now. I just love the simplicity of this love song.It it beautifully written and sung. In my research I've found that they went to Howard University together. They had other duets that are equally as lovely to this, including Where Is The Love.

This song peaked on the charts in February of 1978. I was not yet two and my sister was not born yet.

Enjoy.

Xooo
