And Roberta was never the kind to wave the racial flag. That’s why we loved her so much.

Kind of a generic voice and arrangements, but always listenable. May she rest in piece.

The girl I was dating at the time that the song came out, absolutely loved that song. Here’s looking at you kid.

“Where is the love” with Donny Hathaway was my favorite of hers. Rest in peace, dear lady.

Saw her in '89 at the Palace in Stamford, CT - she sat at a grand piano and belted out songs. What a beautiful voice.
Richie Havens opened for her - it was a nice contrast in styles.
