"Killing Me Softly With His Song" was a #1 hit for Roberta Flack in 1973, but not her only hit. Flack passed away today at the age of 88. There will never be another like her. (via Metafilter)
"The song was written by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel, based on a poem by Lori Lieberman. Lieberman wrote the poem after seeing Don McLean perform Empty Chairs in 1971. She was deeply moved by his performance and felt as if he was singing directly about her own life."
