Roberta Flack has died at 88. One of the greats in my book. RIP and thank you for your gift of music. Donny Hathaway and Roberta are singing again.

Growing up in the 70s,I have so many childhood memories of hearing her music during those years.
"Feel Like Makin' Love" is one of my favorites.A few years later,"The Closer I Get To You" with Donny Hathaway was all over the radio.Beautiful songs,beautiful vocals.Roberta was a genuine,classy artist.The real deal.
Rest in paradise,Roberta.Thank you for the music and the memories. | |

Jerry Butler (85), Gwen McGrae (81), & Chris Jasper (73) from The Isley Brothers have also recently passed. Sam Moore (89) from Sam And Dave & Wayne Osmond (73) both passed in January You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

This is an absolute shame. The world of R&B/Soul is in tears! |
