kalamu Songwriter-musician Roberta Flack, now 73, almost made the biggest regret in her life! Flack is currently working on her new all-Beatles cover album ‘Let It Be Roberta’. According to the New York Times, this awesome in-progress recording was almost left in a NYC taxi last month. Flack eventually managed to locate the taxi after several failed attempts at calling 311. “I called 311 and got really no decent response,” Flack told the Times. “They connected to me to some people who hung up on me. “I said, ‘I’m going down to the Taxi and Limousine Commission before they close’.” It was nearly 4 p.m., so the singer raced to 40 Rector Street, the commission’s downtown headquarters, where her plea received a warm reception, according to the Times. “They said, ‘Let’s find this guy,’ ” she said. “It was a very pleasant experience.” When she tracked the cab driver down and got the disk back, “I gave him a big, a huge tip,” Flack said. “And he brought me back to the Dakota, and I paid him for that ride, and gave him a big, big, huge tip.” Roberta then revealed how she forgot her belongings in the first place. “I got one of those big gargantuan cabs,” she explained. “The driver was very nice and he put it in the very back of the cab, and I got into the front part of the cab. When I got out, I was so anxious to get inside because it was raining.” Roberta Flack Almost Kissed Goodbye To Her In-Progress Album is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading →
