    I keep coming back to this one because it is an absolutely amazing live performance. Funky groove, sick beat, and Ms. Flack doing her thang on the piano and vocals. Yes please. 🤗❤️🖤💚💫✨

    My favorite song of hers. Sad news that ALS has now rendered her unable to sing again. So glad we've had so long to spend with her.

    It was early Sunday evening just before the death of day
    All the family friends were grievin'
    Rev. Jones just passed away
    Sister Jones had seen it comin'
    She was familiar with the signs
    Late one night I heard her humming while strollin' through the Georgia pines
    She said "Lord if you take him away, I don't want to live!"
    It was early Sunday morning Just before the birth of day
    I can hear the rooster crowing
    Sister Jones knelt down and prayed:
    "Lord, he's slippin' through my fingers
    Is death the master of us all?
    Lord, I'm humble here before you
    Just grant this life and don't let him fall."
    She said "Lord if you take him away
    I don't want to live another Later on that Sunday evening just before the midnight dawn
    Sister Jones was heavy breathin'
    I still hear her mournin' song
    Life was cryin' from her body like water from a dryin' well
    Well I heard her whisper "Thank you, Jesus," just before the midnight bell
    Sister Jones was taken away, she didn't live
    Sister Jones was taken away she did not live another day
    Sister Jones was taken away she didn't live
    Sister Jones was taken away she didn't live another day

    roberta flack, my favorite song of hers. she owns it. credits to the penthouse players clique, who sampled it and made me find the song back in 1992.

    I've been lookin' for somethin'... a seed of it is in her voice. Loss, the peculiar pain of livin' in America an lovin' your African self.

    Roberta also performed a beautiful version of Stevie Wonder's "I Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer"
    It would be great if you could uploadt it.
