Roberta Flack remains unparalleled in her ability to tell a story through her music. Discovered by jazz musician Les McCann while she was singing in a Washington, D.C., nightclub, Ms. Flack was promptly signed to Atlantic Records where her career took off with a string of hits including "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," "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." In 1999, she received a Star on Hollywood's legendary Walk of Fame.

Her most recent CDs include the 2011 interpretive album of Beatles music, Let It Be Roberta, and a collection of holiday classics and original tunes called Christmas Songs released in 2012.
Very active as a humanitarian and mentor, Ms. Flack is the founder of the Roberta Flack School of Music at the Hyde Leadership Charter School in the Bronx, providing an innovative and inspiring music Education program to underprivileged students free of charge.
