Roberta Flack, Grammy Award-winning singer, dead at 88

Roberta Flack, the magnetic singer and pianist whose intimate blend of soul, jazz and folk made her one of the most popular artists of the 1970s, died on Monday in Manhattan. She was 88.

She died en route to a hospital, according to Suzanne Koga, her manager and friend. The cause was cardiac arrest, she said. Ms. Flack revealed in 2022 that she’d been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, which left her unable to perform.

There’s nothing rational about grief. Maybe you’re crying for yourself.

Happy New Year!! 🐍 2025

I can listen to this for hours on end.
