Celebrity RIP Thread

As a young boy, I grew up listening to whatever my parents were into. My Mom loves Roberta Flack, and I have a deep appreciation for both of them.

Roberta's singing still sounds so fresh to me. It is the music of when I was going to college and early stages of hi-fi ownership. Big miss. RIP.

Listening with Garrard zero turn, Dynaco kit preamp and power amp with Dynaco A50's. Poor college student's audiophile system. Kits required a lot of soldering. Ordered by mail, wait for check to clear and at the door in 4 to 6 weeks.
 
I remember when, "Killing me softly" came out, and I hated it. Some years ago, maybe 30 I heard the song for the first time in forever, and thought, wow that's a great song, she was great singer.
 
I do hope Roberta went "softly"... RIP. :(
