Roberta Flack was an American singer and pianist born in 1937 whose sophisticated vocal style and musical versatility defined her six-decade career. Drawing from R&B, jazz, folk, and pop traditions, she crafted intimate ballads that helped establish the quiet storm sound. Her commercial peak came in the 1970s with three major hits: "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," "Killing Me Softly with His Song," and "Feel Like Makin' Love." A Grammy-winning artist, she notably achieved consecutive Record of the Year awards, a milestone that set her apart in music history.
