          Roberta Cleopatra Flack(born February 10, 1937) is an American singer. She is known for her Nº 1 singles "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", "Killing Me Softly with His Song", "Feel Like Makin' Love"; and "Where Is the Love" and "The Closer I Get to You", two of her many duets with Donny Hathaway. Flack is also noted for her influence on the subgenre of contemporary R&B called quiet storm, along with her interpretations of songs by various songwriters, such as Leonard Cohen and members of The Beatles.

       Flack was the first artist to win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in two consecutive years: "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" won in 1973 and "Killing Me Softly with His Song" won in 1974. Only U2 and Billie Eilish have repeated this feat.

Live & More is a two-disc live album between Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson.

Something that you told me stayed in my head

All night long

You wanted me to love you

When you said softly

Reach out and touch me

My love is in your hands

 

Feel me

I want to feel the fire, yeah

Feel me

I want to feel you, oh

 

And if I should lose your love

For any reason, any reason at all

Then let my record show

I gave you all the love I know
