Disco Dessert 10/15/22 - "Killing Me Softly With His Song '96" by Roberta Flack...


 "Killing Me Softly With His Song" was a big club and radio hit for R&B singer Roberta Flack. Originally on her 1973 album Killing Me Softly, the song was "written" by Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox but truly conceived by Lori Lieberman. The song went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart in 1973, but remixes or the song by Jonathan Peters and Soul Solution (Ernie Lake and Bobby Guy) in 1996 (after the hit cover by the Fugees) went to #1 on Billboard's Dance Club Play chart in 1996.
