- Roberta Flack, a country singer, resigned from her teaching job in 1968 to pursue a music career. Initially, she wanted to sing and play in clubs, but the Washington Board of Education denied her request. She eventually worked for 20 hours a week, earning $8,000 a year more than she would have made teaching Latin in her school. Flack misses Latin but enjoys the excitement of Japanese conjugations.

What a great interview with Ms. Flack. Thanks for the upload.
Roberta is an awesome woman - the PBS American Masters show about her shows how amazing she is
Roberta Flack stunningly beautiful and intelligent. Add her amazing talent to the equation and there's no question why I adore her so much.
Lovely seeing Roberta Flack in her younger days. Who was the other guy talking about the commune?
That was actor, Orson Bean. I suppose you might remember him in later years from Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman (from the 1990s). He owned the general store in that show. But he and his first wife, Carolyn, were always on the game show, TattleTales, back in the 70s.
@@MsTexas73hearing someone talking about commune life is wild. It was interesting though. I guess today they would call it a cult.
This channel is amazing, growing up in the 2000s I love seeing a time when celebrity culture had at least some substance. And Dick is just the definition of disarming and personable
Why does the video description say that Roberta Flack is a "country singer"? I have some of her great soul and R & B albums, and I love her work, but did she ever sing country music? Did I miss that part of her career?
The board was giving her flack. Ironic
Please post the Warren Beatty interviews
What year was this Dick Cavett show on?
I guess around 1973.
