Live performances were really a treat back in the day.. No autotune, no backup singers (kinda), just talent.

[@rhomeNmpire]

Backup/ background singers are live too 😂❤that doesn’t take away from anything. A backing track is a different story, just saying. 🤷🏽‍♂️ …even though she used none here.

Roberta is from my hometown in Asheville NC. One Christmas, she gave a free concert downtown in the late 1980's. I remember her in a full length fur coat standing on stage as we were all very cold but she was a true professional and spectacular and her voice was just as good live as in the recordings. Roberta was a special person.

[@rockcvn71]

I'll bet she was. My mom always liked her music,as I was growing up. Roberta Flack was part of my life growing up❤

To me Roberta Flack is, and has been one of the major musicians in the history of the rock & roll era. Her crystal clear vocals combined with her gift of piano, her obvious spiritual goodness, and her love of life, music, peace, and sharing her talents with the rest of the world, I believe Roberta Flack ranks right up there with the likes of Maria Callas, Èdith Piaf, Leontyne Price, Nina Simone, and Mahalia Jackson. These are our angels of voice, comfort, and inspiration.

[@jpmilliron1953]

she is world class. Her music will live forever

[@herculepoirot-ho4g]

Because of this song-Killing Me Softly, of all things-a tear or two of emotional baggage has slipped silently from my heart and landed on my computer, seeping into its very circuits, making it stutter, stumble, and fall apart. But in the strange and almost cruel twist of fate, the beauty of it all is that now my computer is stuck, helplessly trapped in an endless loop, playing this song over and over again. It's not just music-it's a current of emotion, pulling me deeper with every note, every word. The melody feels like it’s breathing my pain, echoing the suffering I've tried to bury, as though it knows-as if the song itself understands the weight I carry. And even as it tugs at my soul, drowning me in memories, there's a strange comfort in it, because this song... this song is one of my favorites.

[@careeneholst9815]

She sang like the beautiful song bird that she was...As a little boy of eight back in the early 1970s, this song often greeted us on the radio...one of my favorite songs from the era. This and Nicolette Larson's inimitable "LOTTA LOVE" was one of the staples of comfort music of the 1970s. I thank God every day that I was a child during this era...a real boon.
