Roberta Flack at Chinook Winds
Bom in Ashville, N. C „ Flack
received her earliest influences from
the church. By the age of 15. she
enrolled at Howard University on a
full music scholarship, making her
one of the youngest students to
ever enroll there. By the age of 19,
she earned her Music in Education
certificate and began teaching mu­
sic. Her passion for music grew and
so did America’s love of her voice.
In 1971, Roberta and Donny
Hathaway collaborated on "You’ve
Got a Friend." Again, her peerless
interpretation of the contemporary
pop hits won her critical acclaim.
Clint Eastwood personally decided
to include "The First Time Ever I
Saw Your Face" in his thriller, "Play
Misty For Me." Atlantic rushed the
song, from her first album, out as a
single, and in seven weeks it went
to # 1 on the charts.
At the 1973 Gram m y Awards
ceremony, "First Tim e Ever" won
Record o f the Y ear and Song of
the Year, while "W here is The
L ove” won for Best Pop Vocal by
a Duo.
Flack has continued to enter­
tain audiences throughout the
world with her record-breaking
music and legendary voice. The
turn o f the millennium has shown
that Roberta has no intention of
slowing down.
With international tour dates
including Turkey, Argentina, Aus­
tralia and Japan, she is constantly
inspired by seeing firsthand that
her music continues to be loved
and enjoyed around the world.
Roberta Flack will delight audiences with her iconic voice at the
Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City.
