Oasis (Roberta Flack album)
Oasis is Roberta Flack's first solo album of newly recorded songs since 1982's I'm the One. (Subsequent to her 1983 duet album with Peabo Bryson: Born to Love, Flack had with producer Ahmet Ertegun in 1985 recorded fourteen lesser known mid-twentieth century R&B songs but the tracks, intended for a Miss Melody and the Uptown Harlem Stompers album, were not completed to the satisfaction of Flack who put the project "on hold": the tracks remain unreleased.)[3] Released 1 November 1988, Oasis features the number-one U.S. singles, "Oasis" (R&B), and "Uh-uh Ooh-ooh Look Out (Here It Comes)" (Dance/Club Play).[4]
