Roberta Flack

musician, singer, writer
Her style, which has remained fairly consistent over the decades, contains hints of jazz, gospel, and blues. Flack's music has a broad appeal that makes a mockery of the demographic borders of race, age, and gender.

Personality

Interests

Other interests: The Real Artist Symposium, a gathering of highly intelligent, emotionally giving, super creative artists make up this group. They own their own masters and have collectively and individually given me the chance to introduce and expose them to you.

There are ten new songs from me (Roberta) and eight fabulous tracks with great melodies and lyrics from the rest of the members of the Symposium including:

When and Say No, featuring Roberta's vocals.

More than Enough with killer vocals from super talented guitarist-songwriter Sherrod Barnes, AKA "Lick Spiffy".

High, with incredibly sexy, sensual vocals from ace producer- songwriter Jerry Barnes.

Also, there's a jamming Reggae-Calypso tinged tune with two of my friends from Barbados, Nicolas Brancker and Arturo Tappin.

Currently, other members of the Symposium are Shelton Becton, Morris Pleasure, and Andre Smith. All of whom are represented on the Real Artist Symposium. I'm deliberately teasing you. This music is so good and so much fun.
