Browsing T2 en route to the crossword I spotted this photo of Lennon, Yoko & Roberta Flack.
Roberta is coming to England next month ..."joining the ever-growing chorus of pensionable pop superstars still touring, including ...Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones ... Her most recent album was "Let it be Roberta" in 2012, a fine anthology of jazzy Beatles covers.  A former friend & neighbour of Lennon's ... she remains on good terms with Yoko Ono ... " When Roberta sent the album to Paul McCartney, his comment was "Great Job" ; her future projects may include a second Beatles collection. (The Times: T2 14/4/14 p8-9) 

Here's a taster of her "Let it Be" album: nothing to beat "The first time I saw your face"  - but then I don't like jazz & but love this McColl song.
