Today In History Roberta Flack, internationally hailed as one of the greatest songstresses of our time, was born on this date February 10, 1939 in North Carolina. She remains unparalleled in her ability to tell a story through her music. Her songs bring insight into our lives, loves, culture and politics, while effortlessly traversing a broad musical landscape from pop to soul to folk to jazz. Ms. Flack is the only solo artist to win the GRAMMY Award Record of the Year for two (2) consecutive years: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face won the 1973 GRAMMY and Killing Me Softly with His Song won the 1974 GRAMMY. Some of her best-known songs are: “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” “Where Is the Love (a duet with former Howard University classmate Donny Hathaway),” “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” “Feel Like Makin' Love,” “The Closer I Get to You,” “Tonight I Celebrate My Love,” and “Set the Night to Music.” Roberta Flack has inspired countless artists with her musical brilliance and honesty.

Live with Lori Lieberman! Lori, whose poem inspired, Killing Me Softly ( Lori first recorded the number-one hit for Roberta Flack and The Fugees), was Women Who Write's very first musical guest. She's also the only artist to do every venue WWW has done––my living room in LA (thrice), NYC, back when we were bicoastal, The Henry Miller Library in Big Sur, and, the streets of Noho, when we did Lit Crawl. She was always the first one I called. Lori has also performed at Carnegie Hall, twice, about to be thrice! December 10th!

Today Live with Lori Lieberman! We'll be talking about Lori’s career which has spanned five decades, producing 20 albums, through to her latest release, Truly, a departure for Lori, as she delves into the American Songbook, with a unique revisit of Killing Me Softly. You haven't heard it until you've heard Lori sing it. And, if I virtually twist her arm, perhaps she’ll gift us with it and perhaps one off her Girl And The Cat, an album Lori considers her life’s work about her and her daughter.

Did I mention how much I adore her? It’s been way too long. I so can’t wait!

Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly With His Song (Legendado)

#AnedoniaMusicasLegendadas #RobertaFlack

[sheniq]

NEW YORK (AP) — A representative for Roberta Flack announced Monday that the Grammy-winning musician has ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and can no longer sing. The progressive disease “has made it impossible to sing and not easy to speak,” Flack’s manager Suzanne Koga said in a release. “But it will take a lot more than ALS to silence this icon.” The announcement of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis diagnosis comes just ahead of the premiere of “Roberta,” a feature-length documentary debuting Thursday at the DOCNYC film festival. Flack is known for hits like “Killing Me Softly With His Song” and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” the latter of which catapulted her into stardom after Clint Eastwood used it as the soundtrack for a love scene in his 1971 movie “Play Misty for Me.” The release says that the Grammy-winning singer and pianist, now 85, “plans to stay active in her musical and creative pursuits” through her eponymous foundation and other avenues. The Antonino D’Ambrosio-directed documentary will be in competition at the festival and available via DOCNYC’s website for a week after, before airing on television Jan. 24 as part of PBS’ “American Masters” series. Flack also plans to publish a children’s book co-written with Tonya Bolden, “The Green Piano: How Little Me Found Music,” that month. The North Carolina-born, Virginia-raised Flack herself — her talent won her a full ride to Howard University at just 15. “I have long dreamed of telling my story to children about that first green piano that my father got for me from the junkyard in the hope that they would be inspired to reach for their dreams,” Flack was quoted in the release. “I want them to know that dreams can come true with persistence, encouragement from family and friends, and most of all belief in yourself.” The documentary’s television debut and book’s publication kick off 2023, which also will see the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of her fourth album, “Killing Me Softly,” with a reissue. @officialrobertaflack #RobertaFlack https://www.instagram.com/p/ClNYBfeMdFp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a glorious reunion with the brilliantly talented prolific songstress, Harriet Schock, who wrote the Grammy-nominated #1 hit, Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady, and her stunningly talented, vocal accomplice, Andrea Ross-Green. It was thrilling to hear them again in perfect harmony with new songs from Harriet’s upcoming album, Paintings (the title track she treated us to is an absolute killer), as well as the mash-up of her Ain’t No Way to Treat A Lady and One Time Lover. We were also treated to my request, Over and Over, one of my all-time favorite Schock classics, and My Now, a new tune from her soon to drop, Paintings. 

We went back to Dallas, her musician doctor father who encouraged her with all his heart, coming to LA, the heartbreak that inspired that #1 hit, being covered by The Partridge Family, Helen Reddy, Manfred Man, Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Roberta Flack, to name just some, her films with Henry Jaglom, ongoing songwriting workshops which attract the creme de l creme in LA and now with Zoom, from around the world. Harriet’s system she maintains is full-proof. Her scores of talented, thriving students offer proof. Come in with nothing, leave with a song. A well-crafted, good one at that, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner. Interested?  Contact Harriet at [email protected]

In addition to Harriet’s new album, there’s an upcoming show at The Coffee Gallery, A Lifetime Achievement Award, Gary Lynn Floyd’s new album, Present Schock: The Songs of Harriet Schock, and Tom Solari’s documentary, Hollywood Town, The Harriet Schock Story. I’m exhausted typing it. 

I adore this woman and her music. Harriet and I appeared in Henry's The M Word and spent countless Tuesdays over the last decade sharing creative adventures and miracles at Women Who Write, where Harriet also performed at least a half dozen times. It was fantastic to catch up with this treasured friend and be treated to her magnificent music. Ditto Andrea!
