You may know the song "Killing me Softly" from the stunning rendition Lauren Hill does on her Miseducation album, but the OG was Miss Roberta Flack.
She was a grammy winning soul singer who moved me to tears with the song "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". You have to hear it (below)
Flack died Monday at her home, surrounded by her family, Elaine Schock, her publicist, told CNN. Her death followed several years of health challenges, including a diagnosis, revealed publicly in late 2022, of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. The progressive condition, often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, made it impossible for Flack to sing, her representatives said at the time.
Flack, however, had already long-cemented her legacy as one of the defining voices of her generation – both as an interpreter of others’ songs and a writer of her own – notching a slew of chart-topping hits and racking up accolades: Over her career, the classically trained daughter of a church organist secured 14 Grammy nominations and won five, including a lifetime achievement award in 2020 and back-to-back Record of the Year wins.

There are a lot of different takes you can get from the ongoing saga of Blake v Baldoni, but the children should never have to be affected. That said, I believe it's Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds that are causing them the pain.
It's being asserted that the tension the Gossip Girl vet is experiencing has affected her four children too - James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 2 - who live with her and Ryan in New York City.
Blake stated in her amended complaint filed in New York federal court on Tuesday that her kids are allegedly 'traumatized' by the legal war, according to PageSix, an outlet that has seen the court document.
Lively claimed that the children have been 'emotionally uprooted in ways that have substantially impacted their well-being' as she tries her best to manage their pain.
Blake also complained that she has stress symptoms too like anxiety and Ryan has claimed that he has been affected mentally and physically as well.
Blake and Ryan would be most wise to just drop everything and try to move on.

A private jet owned by Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil veered off the runway at a Scottsdale Airport in Arizona and crashed into another plane leaving one person dead and several others injured.
Vince Neil was NOT on board, however his girlfriend Rain Andreani was aboard.
The 64-year-old vocalist's girlfriend Andreani and her friend Ashley both survived the crash and were hospitalized in the wake of the aviation tragedy, a source close to the situation told TMZ Monday.
Andreani had suffered five broken ribs and multiple pet dogs the women brought aboard the aircraft were safe, sources told the outlet.
The Dr. Feelgood singer was not a passenger on the plane at the time of the deadly incident, a spokesperson for Neil told Dailymail.com Monday evening.
Neil's lawyer said Monday evening that the musical artist's 'thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today,'
Worrick Robinson Law, the law firm representing the heavy metal singer, confirmed tragic details in the incident in a statement Monday evening.
'At 2:39 p.m. local time, a Learjet aircraft Model 35A owned by Vince Neil was attempting to land at the Scottsdale Airport,' the firm said. 'For reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway causing it to collide with another parked plane.
'On board Mr. Neil's plane were two pilots and two passengers. Mr. Neil was not on the plane. More specific details regarding the collision are not available as this is a rapidly evolving situation and there is an ongoing investigation.
The firm said that 'Mr. Neil's thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today.'
The identity of the deceased was not immediately released on Monday night.
'A Learjet aircraft on its arrival from Austin veered off the runway and collided with another jet, a Gulfstream 200 aircraft, that was parked. It appears that the left main gear failed upon landing, resulting in the accident,' airport public information officer Kelli Kuester said.

There have been rumors back and forth that Taylor Swift will be and wont be going to the Super Bowl this Sunday in New Orleans.
Multiple sources were claiming Taylor was concerned that her presence at the game would be too much of a distraction to the Chiefs and to Travis. Which seemed odd, given she was at his last Super Bowl game and at the Conference game two weeks ago.
But People mag spoke to Jason Kelce, Travs brother, this week and he says she WILL be at the game.
When asked about who's coming into town for the Big Game and whether it'd be a family affair, Jason made it known that Travis' cheer squad is assembling. "Yeah, I think everybody's coming in," he began before rattling off some names.
"I mean, I don't want to speak for everybody, but I think obviously, our whole family. I believe, obviously Trav and Taylor, and his family and his friends. I mean, Trav always travels like, full," he says of his younger brother.
So Swifties be ready! Mother is coming to New Orleans again!

Ozzy Osbourne, who was so hardcore a metal rocker he bit the head the head off a bat at a live show (or so the lore goes) is no humbled to be stuck in a chair.
On Feb. 5, Ozzy's wife Sharon spoke to The Sun about her husband’s battle with the disease while sharing her excitement that Ozzy, 76, will be reuniting with Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years for his final concert in July.
“He’s very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this,” she said.
“Parkinson’s is a progressive disease. It’s not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body and it’s affected his legs,” she added. “But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”
“I may be moaning that I can’t walk but I look down the road and there’s people that didn’t do half as much as me and didn’t make it,” he added.
Sharon later told RadioX that Ozzy has to work with a physiotherapist every day to keep his muscles moving. “He’s fine,” she adds, “...as fine as you can be with Parkinson's.”
