Roberta Flack (born February 10, 1937 in Asheville, North Carolina) is an American singer. A notable performer in the areas of jazz, soul, and folk. Flack 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”, the latter being 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 #1 hit in 1972.

She is a rare and beautiful talent. This is a great example of music you "should" like.

Does anyone know where to find a recording of "What Child is This?" by Roberta? I have been scouring the internet fruitlessly.

I've gotta say, I think it's pretty criminal that there are 10-20x more listens to Killing Me Softly than any of her other work.
