  • About this photograph

    Singer of soul, rhythm and blues, jazz and folk, Roberta Flack was photographed on November 5, 1969, for a Vogue feature “People Are Talking About …” Flack is described as a “warm, direct, deep-eyed singer with a haze of smoky hair … Singing and playing piano in a Washington D.C. nightclub” where “she leaves the customers crying”. Her debut album First Take had just been released, including the song “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” Vogue notes that Flack “is a wise young woman … who has everything she needs – self-knowledge to match her talent.” Over her remarkable career, she has won four Grammy Awards, including back to back Record of the Year Awards in 1973 and 1974 for “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly with His Song”.

    About the photographer

    Jack Robinson, Jr. (1928-1997), born in Meridian, Mississippi, became a renowned fashion and portrait photographer after moving to New York City in 1955. He quickly gained recognition through assignments with the New York Times and Life Magazine. His career peaked at Vogue, where he photographed celebrities like Elton John, Joni Mitchell, and The Who from 1965 to 1973. Despite his success, Robinson struggled with personal issues and relocated to Memphis in the early 1970s, where he shifted to designing award-winning stained glass. His extensive photographic archive, discovered posthumously, underscored his significant contributions to photography.
