RIP Roberta Flack -- Dead at 88



She was suffering from ALS since 2022 and could no longer sing.


Amazing career with lots of hits.

The 1st song that I knew from her was her duet with Peabo Bryson, "Tonight I Celebrate my Love." It was also Bo and Hope's song on Days of Our Lives.

What a gorgeous voice, and a great career. RIP to one of the cornerstones of my early music appreciation as a little kid in the '70s.

Another big hit was "Where is the Love?" duet with Donny Hathaway.
