	Roberta Flack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roberta Flack (born February 10, 1939 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.

	Roberta Flack
		Roberta Flack covered a fair amount of ground in her ten years of commercial success: starting as a jazz-fusion stylist, she moved on to intricately-produced pop and even disco.
		The closest thing to Flack's later work is the hit single "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," where her unpretentious singing is a perfect match for the uncluttered melody and arrangement.
		Though as usual Flack didn't write a note on the album, it's a fine introduction to her approach - the only real dud is at least interesting: the string-fest "Suzanne" (another Cohen cover).

		Flack is more than just a singer—she is a musician able to play a variety of instruments including (most specifically) piano and flute.
		Flack may not have the best vocal talent to have ever existed, but she wields it with great confidence.
		I honestly think Flack is strongest as a solo artist despite the fact that six of the seventeen songs on this album are duets (including four with her late collaborator Donny Hathaway).

		Roberta Flack's voice always shines and I can't give even her worst work less than 3 stars.
		Those seeking Roberta the artist would be wiser to start with "Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway" and then pick up her earlier albums where her voice was more present and the tunes highlighted what makes her such a unique treasure.

	Roberta Flack Biography at SoulTracks
		The former two solidified her appeal to a new generation of educated, urban African Americans, while the latter became an unadulterated smash across the board and a critical favorite of a scope perhaps still unmatched by any subsequent album of duets.
		Flack slowed down her recording schedule over the next couple of years, but came back in 1977 with another classic duet with Hathaway, “The Closer I Get To You” (most recently remade by Luther Vandross and Beyonce).
		She also continues to be admired by a younger generation of intelligent, creative soul singers whose pathway to success was in large part paved by this talented, classic soul artist.

		Born into a musical family, Flack graduated from Howard University with a BA in music.
		Flack's self-assurance wavered during the mid-70s, but further duets with Hathaway, The Closer I Get To You (1978) and You Are My Heaven (1980), suggested a rebirth.
		She was shattered when her partner committed suicide in 1979, but in the '80s Roberta enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Peabo Bryson which reached a commercial, if sentimental, peak with Tonight I Celebrate My Love in 1983.

		Roberta Flack emerged on the music scene in the early `70s with a cool, soothing, precise delivery that contrasted greatly with the fiery vocals of established Atlantic labelmate Aretha Franklin.
		Concerning Roberta's output and quality of songs, a two disc set is warrented.
		Looking at this single disc as it is, this release is the best mastered of Roberta's albums and kudos to Rhino for not using single edits, save for "Back Together Again," it's trimmed to almost seven minutes, the original album version is almost ten minutes long.

		Her cool, almost unemotional style benefited from a measured use of slow material, although she seemed less comfortable on up-tempo songs.
		Set The Night To Music was produced by the highly respected Arif Mardin, but the bland duet with Maxi Priest on the title track was representative of this soulless collection of songs.
		Still, Roberta Flack remains a crafted, if precisionist, performer.

	Black Facts Online: Singer Roberta Flack born
		Two classy albums, First Take and Chapter Two, garnered considerable acclaim for their skilful, often introspective, content before Flack achieved huge success with a poignant version of folk-singer Ewan MacColl 's ballad, 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'.
		Recorded in 1969, it was a major international hit three years later, following its inclusion in the film Play Misty For Me. Further hits came with 'Where Is The Love?' (1972), a duet with Donny Hathaway, and 'Killing Me Softly With His Song' (1973), where Flack's penchant for sweeter, more MOR-styled compositions gained an ascendancy.
		She was shattered when her partner committed suicide in 1979, but in the 80s Flack enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Peabo Bryson that reached a commercial, if sentimental, peak with 'Tonight I Celebrate My Love' in 1983.
