Santa Monica, CA (Top40 Charts/ 429 Records) Roberta Flack, the four-time Grammy Award-winning artist, continues to enjoy the success of her new album, "LET IT BE ROBERTA: ROBERTA FLACK SINGS THE BEATLES"- a collection of
Beatles song interpretations with special appearances on
Access Hollywood and Dave Koz's radio show confirmed for April 30th. For the first time in over 13 years, Roberta has debuted in the Top 200 Albums chart plus LET IT BE ROBERTA also landed in the Top 30 of the R&B Albums chart. The first single "
We Can Work It Out" is still going strong at several different radio formats including AC, Urban AC and Smooth Jazz (where it just entered the Top 10 this week). In additional radio news, Roberta Flack's interview with NPR's Weekend Edition will air this Saturday. Newly signed to a partnership of 429 Records, Sony ATV
Music Publishing and Flack's RAS Records, the album which was produced by Sherrod Barnes, who has also produced Beyonce' and Angie Stone, with contributing producers Jerry Barnes and Barry Miles, is available everywhere.
Roberta Flack has long been known as an unparalleled musician who effortlessly inhabits the worlds of pop, soul, R&B, jazz and folk. From her very first recording, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" which hit #1 in the U.S across all charts, Flack has created strong emotional bonds with her listeners through her poignant musicality and unerring stylizations while also shining an uncompromising light onto the culture and politics of the times.
Since bursting onto the scene in 1969 with the blockbuster album "First Take" (produced by the legendary Joel Dorn), she's followed her fiercely uncompromising lyrical and musical muses earning her a place alongside pioneering artists such as Aretha Franklin, Elton John, and Nina Simone. A multiple Grammy winner, she is the only artist along with U2 to win "Record of the Year" in consecutive years (for "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "
Killing Me Softly"). Although she's taken some time between recordings, she's never stopped performing having constantly toured worldwide. Flack, a national treasure gives her time freely to a host of charitable and humanitarian causes--among them, the ASPCA (spokesperson of the year for 2011) and the
Roberta Flack School of
Music in Bronx, NY (which she founded in 2006).
