Roberta Flack, the iconic singer known for hits like "If Ever I See You Again," passed away at her Manhattan home at the age of 88. Her publicist announced her death on February 24, 2025, following Flack's battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which had silenced her voice. Flack was celebrated not only for her music, which broke boundaries in the 1970s, but also for her commitment to education. She had lived in her Upper West Side apartment for four decades, which featured luxurious details and had a history of being on the real estate market.
We are heartbroken that the glorious Roberta Flack passed away this morning February 24, 2025. She died peacefully surrounded by her family. Roberta broke boundaries and records. She was also a proud educator.
According to the New York Post, the property went under contract in 2018, but the detail fell through. Property records obtained by Realtor.com show that Flack still owns the home, and it is the sole property under her name.
In 2022, Flack was hospitalized for treatment for ALS, formerly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and a press release issued at the time revealed that ALS made it impossible [for Flack] to sing and not easy to speak.
Flack had put the property up for sale in June 2015 for $9.5 million, before lowering the price to $8.9 million. It was taken off the market in May 2016, then relisted in September 2016 with a steep $1.4 million discount.
