"Killing Me Softly With His
Song" was originally released in 1972 by American singer /
songwriter Lori Lieberman, but it did not chart. The lyrics were
written after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance at
the Troubadour night club in Los Angeles in November 1971.
Roberta Flack first heard the song on an airplane, when the
Lieberman original was featured on the in-flight audio program.
Short time later she recorded her own version of that song.
Released on January 22, 1973, this version became a huge hit and
a classic with no.1 positions in the United States, Canada, and
Australia. |
