Roberta was much more than the modern manufactured pretty girl pop singers. Classically trained at the piano she was given a full music scholarship for Howard University at the mere age of 15 and even directed the Opera 'Aida' and received a standing ovation for it !!
After her father died she had to leave University due to lack of funding and became a music teacher and also played piano for Opera singers. She then became a full time singer herself and the rest is history !

Roberta Flack owns this song.
roberta is the muse, who takes you and transports you to a place where pure love lives. i have grown with her vocal perfection and understand what love for another human should be. i would treasure eternally the chance to converse with such a talented and beautiful woman.she is, truly a voice from god.

@tgirlsizzla True talent. I like the slower tunes as they accentuate her voice to the max.

Very few people have a more beautiful vocal tone and a more unique vocal timbre than Roberta Flack. That is why her versions of "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
and "Killing Me Softly" are the most celebrated and successful versions of those songs still some 30 years later. Legendary Voice!

@reallyblessed I saw her live at the Barbican, London about 15 years ago. I always prefered her doing ballards - as it really eccentuated her voice.

@reallyblessed She is an awesome singer. The only singer, today who would match her, is Adele, any other singers today just hide behind masses of editing & a good production team in the studio.
