The new Roberta Flack collection, WITH HER SONGS: THE ATLANTIC ALBUMS, 1969-1978, is the first retrospective release since the GRAMMY® Award-winning singer passed away in 2025.<br/><br/>A celebration of her acclaimed tenure with Atlantic Records, the 8CD set presents newly remastered versions of her first eight studio albums. <br/><br/>WITH HER SONGS spans Flack's Atlantic debut First Take through her self-titled 1978 album, covering a period when she emerged as one of the most commercially and critically successful artists of the 1970s. <br/><br/>She was the first solo artist to win the GRAMMY® Award for Record of the Year in consecutive years, for "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (1973) and "Killing Me Softly With His Song" (1974). <br/><br/>WITH HER SONGS includes eight newly remastered studio albums: FIRST TAKE (1969), CHAPTER TWO (1970), QUIET FIRE (1971), ROBERTA FLACK & DONNY HATHAWAY (1972), KILLING ME SOFTLY (1973), FEEL LIKE MAKIN' LOVE (1975), BLUE LIGHTS IN THE BASEMENT (1977), and ROBERTA FLACK (1978).<br/><br/>Together, they chart a sustained period of creative momentum, from the intimacy of FIRST TAKE and CHAPTER TWO to Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway, a landmark collaboration that produced the GRAMMY®-winning hits "Where Is the Love" and "The Closer I Get to You." That success continued with her next two albums, KILLING ME SOFTLY and FEEL LIKE MAKIN' LOVE, whose title tracks both went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. More hits followed as her initial run with the label concluded with BLUE LIGHTS IN THE BASEMENT and ROBERTA FLACK.
