Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Flack, who was born in Black Mountain, North Carolina, in 1937, made her mark on the music scene with her unique voice and soulful interpretations. Her musical talent was evident from an early age - she began playing the piano at the age of nine and was awarded a scholarship to Howard University at the age of 15. Her big breakthrough came at the end of the 1960s when she was discovered by Atlantic Records.
Her debut album "First Take" was recorded in just ten hours and laid the foundation for an extraordinary career. With songs such as "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "Killing Me Softly With His Song", she made music history - and was the first artist ever to win the coveted Grammy two years in a row.
