Roberta Cleopatra Flack (February 10, 1937 – February 24, 2025)[3][4] was an American singer who topped the Billboard charts with the No. 1 singles "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", "Killing Me Softly with His Song", and "Feel Like Makin' Love".

Flack influenced the subgenre of contemporary R&B called quiet storm, and interpreted songs by songwriters such as Leonard Cohen and members of the Beatles.[5]

Flack was the first artist to win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in two consecutive years: "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" won in 1973 and "Killing Me Softly with His Song" won in 1974.

When Flack was nine, she took an interest in playing the piano.[8] During her early teens, Flack excelled at classical piano and Howard University awarded her a full music scholarship.[15]

By age 15, Flack entered Howard University in Washington, D.C., making her one of the youngest students ever to enroll there.
