Her singing in Play Misty for Me with Clint Eastwood really raised the level of that movie.

The photo you have posted looks like Gladys Knight not Roberta Flack. Not sure you really even care but
R.I.P. to Ms. Flack

“The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” is the 2nd greatest cover song of all time.

Roberta’s astonishing debut album, ‘First Take’, should be in everyone’s collection. If I could listen to only 10 recordings for the rest of my life, this would be one of them. For all of her successes, she remained massively underrated. RIP.

Fame can be such a random thing. If it weren't for Clint Eastwood listening to the right radio station at the right time, she might have toiled in obscurity.

Dude, If you are any mainstream newspaper or news media at this point, you probably need to go back to X, or just leave the internet, if you are an american media. I am sad that Flack is dead, but man, I think the media might be exploiting deaths nowadays.

So sorry to hear this. She was the real thing. I used to live around the corner from Mr Henry's in Washington DC where she is often said to have been "discovered". DC already knew her.

Fantastic artist, one of soul/R&B true greats. V sad news
