“Roberta Flack was a milestone artist in the history of Atlantic Records and Warner Music. An unparalleled and truly original song stylist and arranger, she bridged multiple genres with grace, intelligence, and sophistication. A four-time Grammy Award winner, 14-time Grammy nominee, and the only solo artist ever to win two consecutive Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, she received the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020. Roberta was one of the most popular, honored, and beloved artists of her time, possessing a one-of-a-kind voice that was both majestic and intimate, whether in moving ballads or deep grooves. Today is a sad day for her family, friends, and countless fans around the world. She will be deeply missed, but her music and her influence will certainly endure. All of us in the Warner Music family are proud to be a part of Roberta’s extraordinary legacy.”
