Lauryn Hill will lead Grammy tribute to Roberta Flack and D’Angelo

Lauryn Hill will lead a tribute to Roberta Flack and D’Angelo at the 68th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, part of the Grammys’ annual segment honoring artists who have died in the past year. Other performers announced so far include Justin Bieber; Sabrina Carpenter; and Clipse with Pharrell Williams, along with a segment highlighting all eight best new artist nominees: Alex Warren, Sombr, Addison Rae, Katseye, Leon Thomas, Olivia Dean, the Marías and Lola Young.

Hill is closely associated with both Flack, who died last February at 88, and D’Angelo, who died in October at 51. As part of the Fugees, she had a major hit in 1996 with a remake of "Killing Me Softly," a song Roberta Flack took to No. 1 in 1973; D'Angelo joined Hill on "Nothing Even Matters," a ballad from Hill's 1998 debut solo album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." That album dominated the Grammy ceremony in 1999, winning album of the year and three prizes in the R&B field, with Hill also taking best new artist.
