Roberta Flack
Roberta Flack, the Grammy-winning soul singer best known for her celebrated interpretations of romantic ballads like "Killing Me Softly With His Song," as well as her professional collaborations and social activism, has died.
She was 88.
Flack died on Monday at her home, surrounded by her family.
Her death followed several years of health challenges, including a diagnosis, revealed publicly in late 2022, of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.
At the time, her representatives said the progressive condition, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, made it impossible for Flack to sing.
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.
