"Killing Me Softly With His Song"
Roberta Flack
Hot 100 Peak
No. 1 for five weeks
(1973)
Flack was listening to the inflight audio while traveling on TWA from Los Angeles to New York when she heard Lori Lieberman sing the original version, inspired by a Don McLean performance at the Troubadour. Flack felt this wasn't what the definitive version could be and believed she could add something of her own.
