Roberta Cleopatra Flack has gone to join the Choir Celestial. Born 10 February 1937, she died 24 February 2025 at the age of 88. She had suffered a stroke in 2018, was diagnosed with ALS in 2022 and was no longer able to sing. She apparently died from cardiac arrest while on the way to the hospital. Her sophisticated soul will be greatly missed.

Admittedly hadn't listened to her much since she randomly came on the radio when I was a kid, until now. RIP. Great voice.
