RIP #BobbySherman. I loved him as a kid, watched “Here Come the Brides,” and still have his “groovy” love beads from Tiger Beat magazine! ☮️

Roberta Flack, ’70s R&B Vocalist Known for ‘Killing Me Softly,’ Dies at 88 Roberta Flack, best known for her '70s hits 'Killing Me Softly' (later covered by the Fugees) and 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,' has died.

She was the soundtrack to my teenage and college years. Unrivaled grace, soul and poetry. Also adored her duets with the incomparable Donny Hathaway. RIP.

Nikki Giovanni spoke at my small Ohio liberal arts college in September 1978. I was 19 years old. She was mesmerizing. Hers was the first book of poetry I purchased myself as a young woman. So grateful to have lived my life witnessing her fierce wisdom these many years hence. RIP, truth teller.
