Oh my God,!!!! the god of the bass!!!!! it's an honor. I'm your BIg fan. Always be healthy and have a happy day!!!

[@markvirgo9833]

I was 19 and ended up singing background on a Roberta Flack session and Luther Vandross was singing with us. I was mentored by Roberta in the control room as she was showing me the recording console and isolated the various instruments on the record "You Are My Heaven" I love her spirit ❤

[@crz033]

Love that story, Mark! How exciting!!

[@MsTexas73]

It’s behind the music stories like this that matter. I have read and heard so many wonderful stories about Ms. Flack. Like this one you’ve shared. The mentoring, and sharing of skill. Her wanting to teach the next ones the art and the craft behind the music. I don’t know her but I just love her because she seems like just a good, kind, and decent human being who loves what she does and wants to share it with the world. You hear it in her music and when she talks about life itself. 🤗💜💫✨

[@narrativesdialogues1701]

I would like to interview you Mark...

[@CoreaKixx420]

An absolutely beautiful woman....not to mention the texture of her extraordinary voice. I'm a 61 year old man who has loved this woman since the very early 70s. Thanks for this, and good health to one and all!!

[@goupychristian5688]

Fantastic Roberta. Wonderful voice. Great song. She deserve a Tribute in Kennedy Centre Honors.

[@ManiMani548]

When "Killing Me Softly" became a song of the year 1973, I was 8. Imagine how deeply Roberta Fleck's voice has grabbed me, that even now, for me, her voice embodies the entire decade of the 1970s! I love you, Roberta!!!

[@luisguillen5525]

For me Roberta Flack is The Best Singer of R&B and Soul and the Best songwriter musician I've ever heard

[@philpryor7524]

Pure and beautiful and, such a lament for the decline of adult popular music. Roberta remains above and beyond most...

[@jayedee8382]

Well said commentary. It's so true.

自分が高校生の頃、友達からもらった選曲カセットに入っていたロバータ・フラックの声🎶にはじめて出会い、ステキな歌声に惹かれました！ 大人になって、曲の題名を調べたり…歌詞を調べてより世界観に浸ったり🎧🎶 そしてようやく…ロバータ・フラックの歌っている姿に出会えました！ 時空を越えたステキな出会いに感謝✨🚀✨です！ ありがとうございました🌱

Very Good Roberta Flack Excellent Sweet Woman Marcos de Venezuela

[@scottmoyer1357]

My best friend, Peter Lewis , did the live sound engineering for Roberta in Japan during the later 90's. Peter was with Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable Tour" prior to joining Roberta in Japan. When she came to LA to perform & play at The Greek theater, I attended as Peter's guest and met Roberta after the concert back stage. I had played the same clubs in Washington DC in the summer of 1969 as she did...Mr Henry's in Georgetown and on Capitol Hill. She is as sweet as the sound of her delightfully engaging music.

[@TheGlass50]

My sincerest compliments to your best friend Peter Lewis. He obviously did an amazing job. It’s always wonderful to hear that the people you admire and love happen to be wonderful human beings as well. Roberta Flack is a once in a lifetime artist and her music has been with me my entire life. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with her to the whole world.

[@wickedgf]

Peter Lewis was my hang buddy on the road when we toured with Roberta❣️ He was a great engineer who mixed his ass off and is responsible for my percussion set up having 10 mics so all my stuff could be heard! I have a picture of him, myself, and Patti Lupone together backstage somewhere which I treasure knowing that Peter is no longer with us! RIP my friend. I really miss our hang time❗️ Much Love Always❣️ 🎶Gary✨🌈🙏🏽😇

[@jenniferlynnwyatt7149]

Não existe palavras para expressar a qualidade de Roberta flek, como pode ter vos tão bonita maravilhosa.

[@chadlandrum]

Mr. Fritz, I hope you are doing well. I live in NW Georgia, and I'm really getting into Donny Hathaway now, which, of course has led me to Roberta Flack. Great performance on this concert, by the way. If you feel like answering, I have 3 questions. Did Ms. Flack tell you any good stories about Hathaway? Second, do you know fellow percussionist Earl DeRouen? And one more, have you ever played with Willie Weeks? Those live Donny Hathaway recordings are some of the best I've ever heard. And he and Flack were just the best duo. I just listened to their first duets album today and it is mesmerizing. Anyway, take care and best wishes.

[@mariavictoriasantos7865]

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (La Première Fois Que J'ai Vu Ton Visage) The first time ever I saw your face La première fois que j'ai vu ton visage I thought the sun rose in your eyes J'ai pensé que le soleil se levait dans tes yeux And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave Et la lune et les étoiles étaient les cadeaux que tu avais donnés To the dark and the empty skies my love A l'obscurité et aux cieux vides mon amour To the dark and the empty skies A l'obscurité et aux cieux vides The first time ever I kissed your mouth La première fois que j'ai embrassé tes lèvres I felt the earth turn in my hand J'ai senti la terre tourner dans ma main Like the trembling heart of a captive bird Comme le tremblement de coeur d'un oiseau captif That was there at my command my love C'était là à ma commande mon amour That was there at my command C'était là à ma commande The first time ever I lay with you La première fois que je me suis étendu avec toi And felt your heart beat close to mine Et senti ton battement de coeur près du mien I thought our joy would fill the earth J'ai pensé que notre joie remplirait la terre And would last 'till the end of time my love Et durerait jusqu'à la fin des temps mon amour And would last 'till the end of time Et durerait jusqu'à la fin des temps The first time ever I saw your face La première fois que j'ai vu ton visage Your face (x3) Ton visage (x3)
