Roberta Flack was an American singer and pianist known for her emotive, genre-blending ballads that spanned R&B, jazz, folk, and pop and contributed to the birth of the quiet storm radio format. Her commercial success included the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping singles "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", "Killing Me Softly with His Song", and "Feel Like Makin' Love". She became the first artist to win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in consecutive years.
Flack frequently collaborated with Donny Hathaway, with whom she recorded several hit duets, including "Where Is the Love" and "The Closer I Get to You". She was one of the defining voices of 1970s popular music and remained active in the industry, later finding success with duets such as "Tonight, I Celebrate My Love" with Peabo Bryson (1983) and "Set the Night to Music" with Maxi Priest (1991). Across her decades-long career, she interpreted works by songwriters such as Leonard Cohen and members of the Beatles. In 2020, Flack received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Angie Stone was an American singer-songwriter, rapper, actress, and record producer. With a career spanning over four decades, she has been recognized for her contributions to the development of hip-hop and neo-soul. In the late 90s, Angie signed with Arista Records to release her debut solo album Black Diamond (1999). The album received a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and spawned the single "No More Rain (In This Cloud)". Afterwards, she co-wrote D'Angelo's album Voodoo (2000), and released her second album, Mahogany Soul (2001), under J Records, which spawned the hit single "Wish I Didn't Miss You". It was followed by Stone Love (2004) and The Art of Love & War (2007),
