RIP Roberta Flack.
Roberta Flack was a wonderful wonderful soul singer, and if she had only ever recorded The First Time Ever I Saw You Face she would still have been regarded as a superstar, but she did so much more.... not least a fabulous team-up with Donny Hathaway & the disco classic Back Together Again...

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face": Blu-ray copy of "Play Misty for Me" already well in transit this morning as I learn of her passing. What's more, another song stirs memories of the unrequited: "Killing Me Softly With His Song."
