Roberta Flack, Grammy-winning singer of 'Killing Me Softly With His Song,' dies at 88

Grammy award-winning singer Roberta Flack, who crooned hits like “Killing Me Softly with His Song,” which was covered by The Fugees with Lauryn HIll, has died. She was 88.

Grammy award-winning singer Roberta Flack, who crooned hits like “Killing Me Softly With His Song” and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” has died, a representative confirmed to NBC News.

She was 88.

In November 2022, a representative announced that Flack had ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and could no longer sing.

The progressive disease “has made it impossible to sing and not easy to speak,” Flack’s manager Suzanne Koga said in a news release.

In a statement on Monday, representatives for Flack said they are "heartbroken" by her passing.
