A fun musical fact for you…
‘Killing me softly (with his song)’, made most famous by the divine Roberta Flack, was not a song about a lover.
Lori Lieberman, collaborating with Charles Fox & Norman Gimbel, wrote it after Lori saw a performance by Don McLean in ‘71 and was deeply moved by his music.
The song suddenly takes on a different mood knowing that.
Lori was left off the original writing credits & as a result never received any of the millions of $$$ in royalties she was due.
