Rhino has released \u2018With Her Songs: The Atlantic Albums, 1969\u20131978\u2019, the first retrospective collection since Roberta Flack\u2019s passing in 2025. The eight-CD set presents newly remastered versions of her first eight studio albums, from 1969\u2019s \u2018First Take\u2019 through her self-titled 1978 record, and arrives during Black History Month, days before what would have been Flack\u2019s 89th birthday on February 10th. A classically trained pianist and Howard University alumna, Flack built one of the most sustained commercial and critical runs in 1970s popular music, moving fluidly between soul, jazz, folk, and pop across a decade of work for Atlantic.<\/p>\n
The collection charts that entire arc with real weight. Flack became the first solo artist to win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in consecutive years, for \u201cThe First Time Ever I Saw Your Face\u201d in 1973 and \u201cKilling Me Softly With His Song\u201d in 1974. Her collaboration with Donny Hathaway produced the Grammy-winning \u201cWhere Is the Love\u201d and \u201cThe Closer I Get to You,\u201d while \u201cFeel Like Makin\u2019 Love\u201d and \u201cKilling Me Softly With His Song\u201d both reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. \u2018With Her Songs\u2019 follows last year\u2019s Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio releases of two of those albums, and stands as the most complete document of her Atlantic years assembled in a single package. It is, by any measure, an essential collection.<\/p>\n
