What does Roberta Flack have in common with Clint Eastwood?

 Well, Clint Eastwood is a musician and music fan, and then he called

Roberta to use her song (First Time..) for a movie. Roberta wanted to re-record it as

she thought it was too slow, and Clint thought that was a bad idea and the song became a hit, unchanged.

Three years had gone by with little fanfare, and then, 1972, Roberta won several awards.
