'Roberta Flack's performances softly burned with the fire of life itself'.

I'm sure she is on the radio anywhere I go.

'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' - a haunting ballad so hard to bring off yet effortlessly and beautifully sung by her. Truly unforgettable. RIP

Don McLean was asked what his song American Pie means.
"It means I'll never have to work again".
