Roberta Flack Picture and Photo Gallery:

Best known for her romantic jazz/pop ballads, no one in the 70s beat Roberta Flack when it came to soulful sophistication. Born on February 10, 1937 in Black Mountain, North Carolina, and raised in Arlington, Virginia, Flack was the daughter of a church organist and started playing piano early enough to get a music scholarship and eventual degree from Howard University.
