Album of the Day

With a foot in both the '70s soul and singer-songwriter camps, Roberta Flack was among the decade's most popular and distinctive artists, and in 1974 “Feel Like Makin' Love” became the performer's third No.1 hit in as many years. Penned by Eugene McDaniels and produced by Flack under the pseudonym Rubina Flake, the Atlantic single became the title track of Roberta's fifth solo album and earned three Grammy nominations (Record of the Year among them) as well as an R.I.A.A. Gold sales certification. The romantic ballad has been covered numerous times, by artists including D'Angelo and George Benson, but Flack's simmering original remains definitive, and it's our Song of the Day.
