Roberta Flack: The Very Best Of Roberta Flack

GRAMMY award-winning Roberta Flack is internationally acclaimed as one of the greatest songwriters of our time and remains unrivaled in her ability to tell a story with her music. Her songs provide insights into our lives, our loves, our culture and our politics, effortlessly traversing a broad musical landscape from pop to soul to folk and jazz. She was the first solo artist to win the GRAMMY Award Record of the Year in two (2) consecutive years: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face won the GRAMMY in 1973 and Killing Me Softly with His Song won the GRAMMY in 1974. Classically trained on the piano from an early age, Ms. Flack received a music scholarship to attend Howard University at the age of 15. When jazz musician Les McCann discovered her singing at Washington nightclub Mr. Henry's, she was immediately signed to Atlantic Records. With a string of hits including The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Where Is the Love (a duet with her former Howard University classmate Donny Hathaway), Killing Me Softly With His Song, Feel Like Makin' Love, The Closer I Get to You, Tonight I Celebrate My Love and Set the Night to Music, Roberta Flack has inspired countless artists with her musical brilliance and honesty.
