The death of soul singer Peabo Bryson on June 2, 2026, offers an opportunity to revisit one of his most beloved songs, the romantic duet "Tonight, I Celebrate My Love" with Roberta Flack. While the pair made the track an enduring classic, they were not the artists originally envisioned to bring it to life.
According to a story written by the Tennessee Jazz and Blues Society, Flack told Masser, “He said he was going to give it to Barbra Streisand, and I told him I think I can sing that.”
With Bryson, Flack recorded one of the most enduring romantic duets of the 1980s. Their natural vocal chemistry transformed the track into a timeless classic.
"She’s a nurturer, a teacher by nature. After twenty minutes with Roberta in a room, you feel like you can conquer the world. She’s one of the most inspiring human beings I’ve ever been around."
The Telegraph included the tune on their list of one of the 50 Best Love Songs of the 1980s. The soap opera Days of Our Lives used the song to soundtrack the romance of one of its most enduring supercouples, Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) and Hope Williams (Kristian Alfonso), cementing its pop culture success.
