Like a previous reviewer noted, this album is truly a "plug-and-play" album--one of those one-in-every-hundred (or more) albums whose every track is able to stand on its own as a fully-realized piece of artistic perfection. Everything here is flawless, from the deep-down-in-your-bones melody to Ms. Flack's incomparable voice and brilliant delivery (backed up by an exquisitely spare production). This album is one of the great monuments to human sadness, best enjoyed (perhaped "cherished" would be a better word) alone and with a willingness to feel good feeling sad.
