简介:  "Quiet Fire", Roberta Flack´s third solo album, has been unfairly overshadowed by the incandescent "First Take" and its masterful follow up, "Chapter Two". Unfairly because it is in every way an equal partner to its two luminous predecessors in constituting the third instalment of a triumvirate of great Roberta Flack albums. Significantly, even its immediate successor, the excellent "Killing Me Softly", doesn´t quite measure up artistically with anything she did before that. Just as "Chapter Two" surprised with inspired covers of familiar standards, "Quiet Fire" serves up majestic versions of Paul Simon´s "Bridge Over Troubled Water", Goffin & King´s "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and the Gibb brothers´ "To Love Somebody" which Nina Simone had a huge UK hit with in 1969.
