Roberta Flack (born February 10 1939) is an American singer. A notable performer in the areas of jazz, soul, and folk, Flack is best known for singles such "Killing Me Softly With His Song" and "Where Is the Love", one of many duets with Donny Hathaway.

Flack began her professional career recording for Atlantic Records without much success, until one of her earliest recordings, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", (1969) was included on the soundtrack to Clint Eastwood's directorial debut Play Misty for Me, becoming a #1 hit in 1972 (see 1972 in music).
