Subject: Roberta Flack

Written By: CeramicsFanatic on 06/10/04 at 3:34 pm

Roberta has done so many good songs that it was really hard for me to choose just one favorite.  I finally went with "Where Is The Love", followed closely by "Killing Me Softly With His Song".  :)

"Killing Me Softly With His Song",but I like most of her songs.

Remember her "First Take" album?

Right now, I like her songs in this order...

1. Where Is The Love (with Donny Hathaway)  :)
2. The Closer I Get To You (with Donny Hathaway)
3. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

I'm a fan of Donny Hathaway. I still remember where I was when I read
that he had died (and how he died).  :\'(

Didn't he commit suicide?  I think he had been ill just prior to that.  Very sad, indeed.  :(

The First Time If Ever I Saw Your Face.

There is something so touching about her voice & that song that can make a grown man cry...

It is so sad what became of Donny Hathaway, 'Where Is The Love' is also a beautiful song.

My favourite Flack song is Making Love, not to be confused with "Feel Like Making Love".

Killing Me Softly
Roberta Flack once sat in with the band I was playing with and played my piano! (One of my most cherished memories). What a voice!!

Killing Me Softly.

Another song I remember the first time I heard. It sounded so new, fresh and different at the time. I liked it the first time I heard it, which isn't always a good thing - quickly liked, quickly disliked? Either way, I still like it till this day.

:) ;)
