One of the greatest songstresses of our time serenades the generations at this Trojan Parents Weekend Event.
Visions and Voices: The USC Arts & Humanities Initiative and USC Spectrum present a concert by the Grammy Award–winning artist Roberta Flack, internationally hailed as one of the greatest songstresses of our time. From The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face to Killing Me Softly with His Song, Roberta Flack’s numerous hit songs explore our lives and loves while effortlessly traversing a broad musical landscape, from pop and soul to folk and jazz.
Flack remains unparalleled in her ability to tell a story through her music. In 1972, a re-release of her song The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, from her first LP, zoomed to No. 1 and remained there for six weeks, becoming that year’s biggest hit. Flack followed with a string of hits, including Where Is the Love (a duet with Donny Hathaway), Killing Me Softly with His Song, Feel Like Makin’ Love, The Closer I Get to You, Tonight I Celebrate My Love and Set the Night to Music. In 1999, she received a star on Hollywood’s legendary Walk of Fame.
Roberta Flack continues to perform around the world and is currently involved with two very exciting recording projects: an album of Beatles songs due out later this year, and an album for a talented group of musicians she is developing called The Real Artists Symposium.
Active as a humanitarian, Flack recently opened the Roberta Flack School of Music at the Hyde Charter School in the Bronx, which will provide music education to underprivileged students free of charge. She remains a shining inspiration to her fans, peers and younger musicians in the music industry and has appeared with such artists as Alicia Keyes, India.Arie and Angie Stone.
