Roberta Flack was set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999, but the ceremony never took place. After her death at 88, questions arose about the honor she never received. Ana Martinez from the Walk of Fame confirmed that Flack's star was approved, but no date was scheduled. She hopes Flack's family will now arrange an official tribute. Flack, known for hits like "Killing Me Softly," won five Grammys and made history as the first black female artist to win Record of the Year. She passed away in 2023 after battling ALS.
