I like about half to two thirds of this record. It gets a little too snoozy, and too jazzy for my tastes. There was that trend in the seventies toward Jazz-Soul that was extremely hit or miss for me. This album sold a lot of records at the time, good for Roberta, and then the title song sold a lot of records for the Fugees in 1996. Arguably, Killing Me Softly is the strongest track on this album, and When You Smile is the silliest.

Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
