The musician's representative said the disease has made it impossible to sing, but 'it will take a lot more than ALS to silence this icon.'
A representative for Roberta Flack announced Monday that the Grammy-winning musician has ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, and can no longer sing.A representative for Roberta Flack announced Monday that the Grammy-winning musician has ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and can no longer sing.
Flack is known for hits like "Killing Me Softly With His Song" and "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face," the latter of which catapulted her into stardom after Clint Eastwood used it as the soundtrack for a love scene in his 1971 movie "Play Misty for Me." Flack also plans to publish a children's book co-written with Tonya Bolden, "The Green Piano: How Little Me Found Music," that month. The North Carolina-born, Virginia-raised Flack is the daughter of pianists and classically trained herself - her talent won her a full ride to Howard University at just 15.
