Roberta Flack discography

Updated: 12/10/2025, 8:47:17 PM Wikipedia source

This discography documents albums and singles released by American recording artist Roberta Flack. As a solo artist, Flack hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 record chart three times, with "Killing Me Softly with His Song," "Feel Like Making Love" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," which spent six weeks at the top of the chart in Spring 1972. "Killing Me Softly" won the 1974 Grammy Award for Record of the Year. She also had hits by collaborating with three male singers: Donny Hathaway ("Where Is The Love" and "The Closer I Get to You"), Peabo Bryson ("Tonight I Celebrate My Love") and Maxi Priest ("Set the Night to Music"). The Recording Industry Association of America certified three of Flack's albums as platinum and seven as gold. Her biggest selling album was "Killing Me Softly," released in 1973 on Atlantic Records.
