The tender ballad Killing Me Softly with His Song was written by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel in 1971, for de American singer Lori Lieberman. She was very impressed with a performance by the then still unknown Don McLean in the Troubadour in Los Angeles. The feelings described in the lyrics are indeed those of Lieberman, but the one who - two years later - made the song world-famous was Roberta Flack. Her version won as many as three Grammy Awards. Since then, Killing Me Softly has been performed by numerous artists, including Herb Alpert, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Anne Murray, Luther Vandross, and the Fugees.
