Roberta Flack MemorialCover

Roberta Cleopatra Flack (February 10, 1937 - February 24, 2025) was the Grammy-winning singer and pianist whose intimate vocal and musical style made her one of the top recordings artists of the 1970s and an influential performer long after. She was the first artist to win the Grammy Award for record of the year in back-to-back years - for "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" in 1973 and "Killing Me Softly with His Song" in 1974. The latter would go on to top the charts again three decades later with a cover by the Fugees. Flack's other hits from the 1970s included the cozy "Feel Like Makin' Love" and three duets
with her close friend Donny Hathaway, "Where Is the Love,"
"The Closer I Get to You," and "Back Together Again" and
"You Are My Heaven."
