Singer Dionne Warwick<\/strong> has paid tribute to her good friend, singer Roberta Flack<\/strong>, who passed away Monday at the age of 88.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe now say Rest In Peace and receive the loving award the Heavenly Father has for her,” Warwick shared in a statement. \u201cI\u2019ll miss our conversation about the journey through music we would have, as well as the love of the music we have been able to share. You will be missed, dear friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also paying tribute to Flack is rocker Lenny Kravitz<\/strong>. \u201cYou have nourished me throughout my life,\u201d he wrote on his Instagram Story<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cI will continue to be killed softly by your songs,\u201d a reference to her classic track \u201cKilling Me Softly (With His Song).\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennifer Hudson<\/strong> remembered Flack on social platform X<\/strong><\/a>, calling her “One of the great soul singers of all time,\u201d while Destiny\u2019s Child<\/strong>\u2019s Kelly Rowland<\/strong> wrote, “THANK YOU for your effortless, most beautiful gift! THANK YOU for being apart of the soundtrack to the most tender moments in my life! So Grateful for you!”<\/p>\n

Queen Latifah<\/strong> paid tribute<\/strong><\/a> to Flack by\u00a0listing her many accomplishments: \u201cRest in peace to Howard graduate, classically trained pianist, songwriter, singer, & the first artist to ever win a Grammy for Record of the Year in two consecutive years, Miss Roberta Flack.”<\/p>\n

And John Lennon<\/strong>\u2019s two sons,\u00a0Julian\u00a0Lennon<\/strong> and Sean Ono Lennon<\/strong>, also honored Flack, who was a neighbor of John’s and a close\u00a0family friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoberta Flack was a neighbor of Dad\u2019s in New York City, and a dear friend of our family. Very sad to hear of her passing,\u201d Julian wrote.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Sean added<\/strong><\/a>, \u201cShe was an incredibly kind woman. Uniquely talented. I am eternally grateful to have known her. I\u2019m heart broken she had to leave this earth. Will always love you.\u201d<\/p>\n
