I met Roberta in the late 60's when she was playing upstairs at Mr. Henry's in D.C. We sat at long tables on benches and it was very intimate. Before singing each song, she would sit quietly at the piano until the room quieted. It was magic. I went to a party thrown by Robert Shirley (the manager at Mr. Henry's) that Roberta attended and we sat and talked. She said that a young lady had come to Mr. Henry's and heard her sing and went right back to her father, who was a record producer, and told him he had to sign her right away and she had just signed. Almost everything she sang at the club has been recorded but I will always remember sitting in that small room at the club, listening to her pure voice during that magical time.

Saw Roberta Flack with Donny Hathaway when I was just a girl in Detroit at the beautiful Fischer Theatre. She was so great I rose to my feet ! I was so young my parents took me after I begged my father. GOD it was magic ! ! I will never forget it. So many greats were there. Joe Williams, Cannonball & Nat Adderley Jr., Les McCan. Parents... try to leave your children with beautiful memories.

Roberta Flack is such an amazing talent. Cohen's 'Suzanne' is one of my favorite recordings by Ms. Flack. I listen to it often. My favorite song by her is 'The First Time..." and I believe Ms. Flack's rendition is one of the most beautiful love songs ever recorded. She does not fit into one kind of genre of music: she isn't pop, adult contemporary, r&b, soul, jazz...but she is all of these. I love that. I have so much love and respect for her.
Thank you, Miss Roberta Flack
