Roberta Flack - Softly With These Songs: The Best Of

Veers closer to easy listening than is usual for my tastes, but Flack's undeniably pleasant to listen to, and the melodies are nice, too; I much prefer the earlier, sparser (60s and 70s) stuff, which feels more restrained and just generally more timeless (and also has the advantage of being very familiar, all of the songs from that period being ones that I’ve heard many times before).
