ROBERTA FLACK Quiet Fire hails from 2021 and is a SEALED Exclusive 180 gram LP. Quiet Fire is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Roberta Flack, released in November 1971 by Atlantic Records. It was recorded at Atlantic Recording Studios, Regent Studios, and The Hit Factory in New York City. The album features one Flack original composition and the rest covers from a wide array of songwriters including Eugene McDaniels, Jimmy Webb, Sonny Thompson, and even the Bee Gees. Flack gives each her own unique treatment, taking pop songs and infusing them with gospel and soul to create new soun Like so many jazz and soul players, Flack grew up in the church and the influence comes through with a serious blues influence, calls for social justice, and subject matter dealing with life and death. The album was not a huge hit at the time of its release, being somewhat overshadowed by the resurgence of her first album on the strength of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” which Clint Eastwood had used in his movie, “Play Misty For Me.
The tracks “Go Up Moses” and “Sunday and Sister” add some funk to the session, aided in no small part by backing musicians such as drummer Bernard Purdie, guitarist Hugh McCracken, percussionist Ralph McDonald, organist Richard Tee, bassist Chuck Rainey, flutist Hubert Laws and even Les McCann on backing vocals. Throughout, Flack’s singing and piano playing show why she was one of the top artists of the 70s.
