I didn't realize she was 88, I always thought she was around my age, her songs in the 70's were all over the radio.

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

💜

Song still touches me after 50 years.

Mine, The Closer I get to You 😢

I think the First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is one of the most beautiful songs of that era. The lyrics combined with her voice is just magic.

Two of my favourite vocalists gone now. I loved Phoebe Snow, too, who passed away in 2011, too young.

‘Killing Me Softly’ is one of those songs that incorporates itself into your DNA.

One of the truly great songs in all of music.

Haunting!

RIP: Roberta Flack..

Back in my limo driver days, I had the pleasure of driving for her , placard with "Magic Lady" as requested for airport to Hotel and Detroit Riverfront concert event. She autographed it for my mother, who was always a big fan. She was gracious and still sang beautifully. RIP

She will be greatly missed, her music meant so much to me. I discovered her via my mom and as radical as I always was when I was younger her music always centered me and brought me a sense of peace and calmness. She will be missed indeed.
