Music is so amazing and, in the hands of a pure talent like Roberta Flack, it touches your soul like that rare perfume in the alabaster box touches your senses. She use to perform at Mr. Henry's, in Washington, on Capitol Hill and in Adams Morgan. The Capitol Hill location was around the corner from my job. Imagine walking in FREE to hear a Roberta Flack performing for the cost of a drink.What a gift! Thanks for invoking the memory.

My favorite song too. Back when Roberta hit the music scene, my uncle Jon Harris Jr. was a fashion designer and designed her gowns for the concerts she performed in. She also used to live in the same high rise in Manhattan as well as Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and my uncle on West End Avenue right by the Lincoln Center.

One of my favorites too jewel. I wish her a happy birthday and thank her for all the pleasure she has given me and others!

Absolutely wonderful song. I've been humming all day :-)/ It put me in a wonderful mellow mood.
Happy Birthday Roberta!

When I was a teenager, I got a chance to see Roberta Flack in concert. I can remember being amazed at her ease and grace while playing her piano and singing. When she sang, you could feel every word. Happy Birthday Roberta Flack and thanks for sharing your gift.
