This evening I will be playing “Killing me softly with his song" and “The first time ever I saw your face” in honor of Roberta Flack. Her legacy will live on through those songs.

RIP to a legend

A brilliant woman with a fabulous voice. She graduated from Howard at 19.

Lovely you classy lady. ALS is horrific

Roberta and Maxi

"Iceman" now Roberta Flack. "Killing Me Softly" a time-honored classic.

RIP

RIP Roberta. Fantastic pipes. Roberta and Hathaway duets were classic love ballads.

Is it known Roberta lived with her Bajan boyfriend for quite a few years?

In reply to Castled
Indeed

In reply to Chrissy

Rumor has it Roberta fell for a Bajan guy ' a horse groom' on a beach in Bim and he was the inspiration for her mega hit 'Tonight I celebrate my love' ( Stella got her groove back redux) This rumor is subject to correction

king fibber sudden and kaiso kaiso powen may have further info

RIP Sweet Soul.

My favorite Roberta song, is First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.

Rest In Melody, Queen.
