Lauryn Hill and Stevie Surprise led a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Roberta Flack throughout a memorial service held Monday (March 10) at Harlem’s historic Abyssinian Baptist Church.
Hill, visibly moved, mirrored on Flack’s highly effective legacy: “Her existence was a type of resistance. I am keen on Ms. Roberta Flack. Roberta Flack is legend.” HipHopDx notes, the Grammy-winning artist then carried out a touching rendition of “The First Time Ever I Noticed Your Face,” adopted by an emotional duet of “Killing Me Softly” with Wyclef Jean, accompanied by Stevie Surprise on harmonica.
Surprise continued the tribute with solo performances of “If It’s Magic” and “I Can See The Solar,” capturing the religious essence of the service and Flack’s enduring impression on music and tradition. You cans ee all of it beneath.
