Roberta Flack was the first to make the song POPULAR, but she was far from being the first person to sing it. So here is a brief history of how this song came to be: The original artist to perform "Killing ME Softly(With His Song)" was folk singer Lori Lieberman. Lieberman wrote a poem titled "Killing Me Softly With His Blues", based on her experiences of seeing Don McLean in concert, performing "Empty Chairs"(not "American Pie", as commonly believed). Lori presented her poem to the songwriting team of Norman Gimlbel and Charles Fox, who turned her poem into a song especially for her. The song was included on Lieberman's self titled debut album. Other artists to record and/or release the song before Flack include Hysear Don Walker(instrumental), Anne Murray(on her "Danny's Song" album), and Bobby Goldsboro, with little or no fanfare. Flack was on a plane, when she happened to listen to Lieberman's original recording,via special headphone, that contained prerecorded music. Roberta loved the song so much, that, when she landed, she knew she wanted to record it. Her cover version became a million sellar earning "Record Of The Year" Award. Though Flack's version was the most popular, to me Lieberman's original will always be the definitive version. Posted by Chris Mulwee Feb. 23rd, 2011
