UPC: 5060672883597 Quiet Fire is the third studio album by American singer Roberta Flack, released in November 1971. It is considered "one of Flack's bests", where she translates the pathos of gospel expression into measured intensity and sighing, elongated phrases. The album mixes jazz and gospel vocals with southern music and folk-country tones. The track "To Love Somebody" is a reinterpretation of the Bee Gees classic, transformed by Flack into a slow-burning ballad with soul and gravity. While "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is a deeply emotive cover of the Simon and Garfunkel hit, emphasizing gospel roots and resilience.
