She Bodes No Fools: Where is the Love?
The world lost another beautiful soul with the recent passing of Roberta Flack. In 1972 she had a hit duet with Donny Hathaway — “Where is the Love”. The song, with its call-and-response question, was all over the radio all the time back then and in my head I can still hear my father — in a falsetto voice — and little brother joyfully singing the “where is the love?” refrain.▪️ She wrote an autobiographical children’s book “The Green Piano, how little me found music” that Kirkus Reviews said was: “A moving testimonial to the effects of instilling a love of live music in childhood.” ▪️ “For me drawing is the way to see what I’m thinking. All one needs is something to make a mark and a surface to make the mark on.” (Artist Mel Bochner) ▪️
