The world just lost a legend whose voice could stop time. From “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” to “Killing Me Softly With His Song”, Roberta Flack wasn’t just a singer—she was a vibe. Her soulful sound didn’t just hit the charts—it hit your heart. 💖✨
🕊️ “We are heartbroken that the glorious Roberta Flack passed away this morning, February 24, 2025,” her family shared. “She died peacefully surrounded by her family. Roberta broke boundaries and records. She was also a proud educator.”
This icon broke barriers with a voice that could soothe your soul and break it wide open at the same time. Even after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2022, she remained a symbol of grace and strength. And when she took home her second Record of the Year Grammy in 1974 for “Killing Me Softly With His Song”, she kept it simple: “I’d like to thank the world.” 🌎💜
🔥 Why It Matters:
Roberta Flack wasn’t just about music—she changed the game for Black women in R&B, making space for raw emotion and vulnerability. She proved that soul music could be both powerful and poetic.
