For the second straight year, I’m following up my six weeks of movie posts with a dive into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Let’s call it a new tradition.
I’ve been working backward through Hall of Fame classes, having most recently covered the Class of 2011. But rather than write about 2010 just yet, I’m dedicating the next two weeks to the recently honored Class of 2025.
Throwing back to the week of August 10, 1974, we find Roberta Flack atop the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Feel Like Makin’ Love.’
This soulful R&B classic gave Flack her third #1 hit in three consecutive years, following ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ in 1972 and ‘Killing Me Softly with His Song’ in 1973. What a trio! The first two won Record of the Year at the Grammys, making Flack the first artist to claim that award back-to-back.
