Roberta Flack

Post by spot »

Having not been well for some while apparently. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/ ... k-obituary

But a singer out on an edge of her own, I thought. Quite clearly herself and sounding like no other performer.

Someone who added value to life.
Nullius in verba ... ☎||||||||||| ... To Fate I sue, of other means bereft, the only refuge for the wretched left. ... Hold no regard for unsupported opinion.
When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious. [Fred Wedlock, "The Folker"]
Who has a spare two minutes to play in this month's FG Trivia game! ... My other OS is Slackware.

When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.

An amazing singer indeed (although I did prefer Peggy Seeger's version of "The First Time That Ever I Saw Your Face", after all, it was written specifically for her).
