Roberta Flack

You know something special is going on when the Grammy jury feels compelled to give you the Record Of The Year award for two years in a row. The soul and jazz singer Robert Flack dazzled the whole world with The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (1972, covered by Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes...) and Killing Me Softly With His Song (1973, covered by The Fugees, The Jackson 5...). And that’s even before mentioning her breathtaking duets with Donny Hathaway.
