Roberta Flack byla americká zpěvačka a pianistka, jejíž emocí nabitý projev spojil R&B, jazz, folk a pop. Stala se první interpretkou, která dvakrát po sobě získala cenu Grammy za nahrávku roku.
Kolekce With Her Songs: Atlantic Albums, 1969-1978 mapuje zlatou éru Flack na labelu Atlantic napříč osmi CD. Zahrnuje její debutové album First Take (1969), z něhož pochází hit The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, duetové album Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway (1972) nebo legendární Killing Me Softly (1973) a Feel Like Makin' Love (1975). Kompilace tvoří ucelenou retrospektivu desetiletí, během nějž Roberta Flack redefinovala podobu moderního soulu a pomohla zrodit formát quiet storm rádia.
