Roberta Flack, ’70s R&B Vocalist Known for ‘Killing Me Softly,’ Dies at 88

The classically trained singer-pianist Flack, only belatedly found fame when Clint Eastwood employed her 2-year-old version of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” in his 1971 directorial debut “Play Misty for Me.”

Nominated a total of 13 times, she received her last Grammy nod in 1995, for best traditional pop vocal performance, for “Roberta,” on which she essayed the standard songbook.

Flack, who was divorced from Stephen Novosel in 1972, was predeceased by her son Bernard Wright, who died in 2022.
