Roberta Flack, the Grammy-winning singer and pianist and one of the top recordings artists of the 1970s, died on Monday aged 88.

The Killing Me Softly With His Song singer died at home surrounded by her family, publicist Elaine Schock said in a statement.

Flack announced in 2022 she had ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and could no longer sing.

Little known before her early 30s, Flack became an overnight star after Clint Eastwood used The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face as the soundtrack for one of cinema’s more memorable and explicit love scenes, between the actor and Donna Mills in his 1971 film Play Misty for Me.
