Killing Me Softly with His Song (1973) Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack heard the original version on her in-flight headphones 🎧, pulled out a notepad 📓 and scribbled down the lyrics and melody instantly. 🤔 Fun Fact: The original lyric was a poem 📝 by Lori Lieberman, who wrote it on a napkin 🍽️ in a club after seeing Don McLean perform. Did you know? 🤯 #70sSoul #RnB

#Roberta Flack sings like a quiet truth being told. Her voice doesn’t demand attention , it slips inside, gentle but undeniable, like a song that knows you before you know yourself.

What a voice.

I remember when this song came out it was beautiful then and it is still just as beautiful

I was 13 years old in 1973, her voice sounds amazing

I loved this song!!! My apologies to Ms Flack for the endless times I botched the vocals 🤷🏽‍♂️

Saw the incomparable Roberta Flack sing live on the Capitol grounds in WDC. The most romantic night I’ll never forget. ♥️
