Roberta Flack (b. 1937) is a U.S. singer and pianist.

Born on 10th February 1937 in Asheville, North Carolina, Flack performs in the areas of jazz, soul, and folk, and is best known for singles such as “Killing Me Softly with His Song”, which won the 1974 Grammy for Record of the Year, and “Where Is the Love”, which was one of her many duets with Donny Hathaway.

Flack began her professional career recording for Atlantic Records without much success, until one of her earliest recordings, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” (1969), was included on the soundtrack to Clint Eastwood’s directorial debut Play Misty for Me; it became a number-one hit in 1972.

    Such a unique voice. I'm sure most will know this already, but if not. Two of Roberta's best tracks ever are a collaboration with Jazz Funk Saxophonist Sadao Watanabe. On his album Rendezvous. The tracks are called If 'I'm Still Around Tomorrow' and 'Here's To Love' . The whole album is great to be fair, but those two (wow). If you have never heard them you are in for a treat when you do.

    well it's about time she's over a million plays. i'm still not satisfied though. you all need to find 'you stopped loving me' from her bustin' loose soundtrack. in fact, the whole bustin loose soundtrack, if re-released, would show what a terrific composer, songwriter, musician, and singer ms. roberta flack is.

    Mellow-voiced and sensitive singer who was at the top of the world in early 1970s and than slowly lost interest in "hit making machinery behind popular song"

    Just listening to her debut album. Not for the first time, no - but every time the beauty, the perfection of it leaves me breathless. It's hard to believe such a masterpiece was her debut. Genius of a woman!

    'The first time ever I saw your face', maybe the best love song ever. Happy Birthday, Roberta.
