Roberta Flack died today. She is known to me for the song "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." Heard it for the first time in the movie "Play Misty For Me," with Clint Eastwood. Such a beautiful voice.

RIP Roberta.

I heard this once when I was falling asleep. The station kept going in and out (it was my favorite R&B station, but it was very far away), but I fell in love with it anyway. Such great voices. She will be missed.

I was just thinking of this song over dinner last night after the news broke it on TV... it puts me to sleep easily when I have insomnia

Her version is often referred to as hauntingly beautiful.

Rainy and dreary outside started spinning old CDs, then this one played.
