Roberta Flack Passes

You guys don't tell me Roberta Flack is obscure.
https://www.pastemagazine.com/music/rob ... -at-age-88

She was from Black Mountain, NC and was a teacher in North Carolina at one time..

Flack was one of the greatest pop and R&B vocalists of her generation, best known for her #1 hit songs “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” both of which propelled her into the mainstream in the 1970s. She won Record of the Year in back-to-back years at the Grammys, a feat that went unmatched until the early 2000s when U2 won the award twice in 2001 and 2002. In 1974, Flack again found success when “Where is the Love” reached #1 on the Hot 100. During her time with us, Flack had an especially fruitful partnership with vocalist Donny Hathaway. Her duet with Hathaway, “Back Together Again,” became a Top 10 hit after Hathaway’s suicide in January 1979.
