Roberta flack was flying on a plane from LA to NYC one day, and she happened to hear this song (originally recorded by Lori Lieberman) on the in-flight music program. She listened to it a few times, jotted down the music and the lyrics, and almost immediately after landing, called her producer (Quincy Jones, no less) and asked to see Charles Fox about covering the song. Two days later, she had the music. The rest is history.
Wow... some of you guys are way off on the back story of this song. Lori Lieberman co-wrote this song with a guy called Norman Gimbel. Gimbel used to chill with Lalo Schiffrin (The guy who wrote the Mission: Impossible theme) who one day handed Gimbel a novel in which one of the characters is sitting at a piano bar, listening to the pianist "kill [him] softly with his blues." Lori started the song as a poem about her reaction to "Empty Chairs" By Don Maclean, Later Charles Fox set it to music.
People...This Song is about the first time Roberta Flack heard the song and IMEDIATLY went to write this song in about 2 hrs! TRUTH!!! there was a war going on at the time
@2sick2care No, she is singing about Don McClean and his song American Pie. She was so taken by the song she heard at his concert. What a beautiful reply!
OK, call me old, but I am a musician that grew up back in the day. Real musicians, real vocals, no looping, no pitch correction, no fluff... Just the real thing. That's what the industry brought to us back then. This is just another example of what the norm was back them. Superb!
Without looking it up online, can any of you haters actually tell Me what the song is about or who? Haha. I didn't think so. Great song and story behind it.
Just don't understand what kind of a person can dislike this. No matter if you don't listen this kind of music, no matter if you don't like woman vocal or anything else...its just not a thing to be disliked.
Are you serious? Those are two perfectly good reasons to not like this song, rofl. I think it's a good song but don't act like it's the greatest thing to ever happen to the planet. Everyone has their own opinions and tastes.
Thank You, Roberta. This is, and will always be, one of the greatest ballads ever. Today is Valentines Day and I hope my love reflects these words in the heart of my beautiful wife.
It was composed by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel drawing from a poem written by Lori Lieberman after she saw a Don McLean concert. But nobody did the song better than Roberta.
Yo estudiaba 4º de la carrera cuando esta maravillosa canción sonaba en todas las máquinas de discos de los bares de la ciudad. Es de otro mundo, es preciosa.

I have to say, I hate female singing voices. They are like an assault on my eardrums. After listening to this rubbish, I cured myself by listening to some Sam Cooke songs. I also listened to some Freddie Mercury songs.
At 1:25 when her voice breaks on the word ''his' sends the chills right through me. Im only familiar with RF version and remember when it was on the top 40. These old tunes are starting to come back to me again - had great melodies which are severely lacking in a lot of todays pop music.

I saw Roberta back in 1976 At the National Arts Centre, Ottawa. When she sang this song you could hear a pin drop. It was almost like people held their breath.
I am American but live in France. I heard this song on a bus and broke out singing along with it. No one minded and I love the song and her interpretation. Uprated and shared. (I used to do session work in recordings and don't have a bad voice. But I don't bite off more than I can chew, hee hee!)
@tess1312 Outstanding artist, production and material on this one. That was kind of a kooky thing, singing aloud like that, but I live in a mixed ghetto community outside Paris and they tend to be pretty open and tolerant. The rest of this country generally has a frigid pole up it's ... um ... posterior.
Please please take a moment & listen to a short clip of my girlfriend's karaoke interpretation of this song, really need some comments people (she doesn't think she's that good!) :s
OMG!!! I've been singing "strumming my FACE with his fingers" for 40 years! I hate when that happens...thanks for the song and most especially for the lyrics. Great singer, great song.
Killing me softly with his (chain) saw? Don't get me wrong, I still find this song amazing and evokes many good memories as my b/f used to sing this one many times,. for me. And he can't sing. So, he'd killed me often.But, don't worry there's life after death.
Nice easy-going music from a time the ninety seventies,which was a decade that had a myriad choice which included of course disco rock and popular songs of the times
At the end of the day, the person that Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack, and the publishing rights owners need to thank is Lori Lieberman for originally writing the song.
@KREEPNASTY1 You're free to type whatever you want in however manner you want. I was just pointing out that your comment implied something that was factually incorrect. You just seem to have very hard time when people point out you got something factually wrong. Whatever, dude.
Lauren Hill should call Roberta Flack every morning and thank her for giving the permission to cover this song, Because if she hadn't, We'd all be saying, "Who's Lauren Hill"?
@KREEPNASTY1 i doubt roberta flack owns that song. if Hill needs to thank anybody for that song, she probably would have to thank the actual owner of that song, which probably is a record company.
@KREEPNASTY1 also. it wasn't flack's permission to be given. she didn't write the song. nor did she own the rights to it. she wasn't even the first to perform the song.
This brings up the memories. You're in your friend's house, it is a summer night and the clock is three. You just sit down and listen this quietly from the radio that is in the next room. Those moments - they are something that you can not be without.

chciałam tylko napisać, że piosenka ta pojawi się w pierwszym lub drugim odcinku z kastingów w drugiej polskiej edycji programu X-Factor w przegenialnym wykonaniu!

Its funny how a song can remind you where you were the very first time you heard it. In my case i was on a TWA flight to Egypt I was 13 back then. :)
