Singer Roberta Flack, whose signature voice and soulful interpretations of songs such as "Killing Me Softly with His Song" catapulted her to the top of the charts and influenced generations, has died. She was 88.
The legendary singer died on Monday, according to a press release from her representatives provided to ABC News. No cause of death was shared in the statement.
"We are heartbroken that the glorious Roberta Flack passed away this morning February 24, 2025," the statement said.

Flack was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, otherwise known as ALS, in 2022, which resulted in the loss of her singing voice, her publicists said at the time.
Flack topped the charts in the 1970s with hits including "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," "Killing Me Softly with His Song," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Where Is the Love" and "The Closer I Get to You."
