Damn. What an impact she made. Several absolutely killer and influential r&b albums.

And her biggest radio hit, killing me softly, will be on that top 100 of all time in modern music. Song is one of the most covered tunes ever by an endless list of singers in numerous genres.

RIP and thank you Roberta. 😢

Such a smooth, easy & powerful voice. RIP Queen

One of my favorite versions...




Edit: Here's what Queen Latifah posted:

Rest in peace to Howard graduate, classically trained pianist, songwriter, singer, & the first artist to ever win a Grammy for Record of the Year in two consecutive years, Miss Roberta Flack. Her & her fellow songwriter Donny Hathaway are now reunited.
