I have my own charity I am trying to get off the ground as well, which some of my concerts go toward funding, ... I am building a school-the Roberta Flack School of Music-in two brownstones I purchased in New York City. The purpose is to help other young musician artists just as I received good teaching and help from my family and friends back home.
Remember: Always walk in the light. And if you feel like you're not walking in it, go find it. Love the light.
There's a river somewhere that flows through the lives of everyone.
That's a wonderful thing, because one of the primary qualities of a good performance is honesty.
As musicians, and as people who sell material for people to hear and absorb, it's important that we use that voice wisely.
I've been overweight all my life.

When I go back home and go to church, I still see the woman who helped me learn to sing and play the piano, ... She still treats me the same way she always has. I'll go to the piano and play some classical music piece, dressed in my white dress, just as I always did on Sundays.
