Με θλίψη ανακοινώνουμε ότι η εμβληματική τραγουδίστρια Roberta Flack, γνωστή για την ερμηνεία της στο θρυλικό κομμάτι “Killing Me Softly With His Song”, έφυγε από τη ζωή σε ηλικία 88 ετών. Αντιπρόσωπος της Flack επιβεβαίωσε την είδηση στον ET, βυθίζοντας στον πόνο τους θαυμαστές και τους φίλους της στο μουσικό κόσμο.
Η Roberta Flack δεν ήταν απλώς μια αναγνωρίσιμη φωνή, αλλά μια καλλιτέχνης που επηρέασε βαθιά τη μουσική σκηνή. Κατέχει το διορισμό της ως τέσσερις φορές νικήτρια του βραβείου GRAMMY, και εισήλθε στην ιστορία ως η πρώτη καλλιτέχνης που κέρδισε το βραβείο GRAMMY για το «Record of the Year» δύο συνεχόμενες χρονιές. Το 1973, με το άλμπουμ της “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, και το 1974 με το Παγκόσμιο Χιτ “Killing Me Softly With His Song”, η Flack έθεσε νέα πρότυπα στον τομέα της μουσικής.
Το “Killing Me Softly With His Song” έγινε ένα παγκόσμιο φαινόμενο, με την παραστατική και ευαίσθητη ερμηνεία της να αγγίζει τις καρδιές εκατομμυρίων. Το κομμάτι, που γράφτηκε από τους Charles Fox και Norman Gimbel, μετατράπηκε γρήγορα σε ύμνο της γενιάς της και καθόρισε την καριέρα της.
Η Roberta Flack ήταν επίσης γνωστή για την ικανότητά της να συνδυάζει διαφορετικά μουσικά στυλ, όπως την σόουλ, την τζαζ και το ποπ, δημιουργώντας έναν μοναδικό ήχο που χαρακτηρίζει τις καλύτερες στιγμές της καριέρας της. Οι συνεργασίες της με άλλους σπουδαίους καλλιτέχνες, καθώς και οι ζωντανές της εμφανίσεις, άφησαν ανεξίτηλο αποτύπωμα στη μουσική βιομηχανία.
Η κληρονομιά της Flack θα ζει σε όλες τις επόμενες γενιές, καθώς οι ερμηνείες της συνεχίζουν να ηχούν και να συγκινούν. Η απώλειά της είναι μια αχτίδα θλίψης για όλους όσοι αγαπούν τη μουσική και την τέχνη της.

RIP Roberta Flack.
Flack died today of ALS aka Lou Gehrig's disease….she announced back in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with the disease …ALS is much more common in men than woman…had a family member who died of this disease…it's a muscle disorder…it makes speech and swallowing very difficult
It gets progressively worse as time goes by
there is no cure… a very debilitating disease….would not want to wish it on any one let alone Roberta Flack
in the late seventies I was waiting to get in a cafe and met roberta i remember her telling me she was getting her PHD so lovely and a class act and a beautiful voice RIP
she didnt write it though it was written and recorded by Lori Lieberman first
I heard of her passing through BBC,
She was adorable singer. RIP
🕊️🕊️🕊️
Her voice was an instrument bent to her will like those notes that can be bent by a great saxophonist etc. I heard killing me softly was acknowledging the day the music 🎶 died by Don McLean. I also liked where is the love? Beautiful harmonies. So poignant. ❤kayl.XOXO fr n.z. cheers 🥂
“Where is the Love” with her and Donny Hathaway was my favorite.
She had a beautiful voice.❤rest in Peace
