Killing Me Softly with His Song played on chromatic harmonica.
"Killing Me Softly with His Song" is a 1971 song composed by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel, which has become a pop standard. The song was inspired by a poem by Lori Lieberman, "Killing Me Softly with His Blues", which she wrote after seeing a then-unknown Don McLean perform the song Empty Chairs live.
Song and cover versions
Lieberman was the first to record Fox and Gimbel's song, in 1971, but it became a bigger hit when covered by Roberta Flack in 1973, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks. It was replaced by "Love Train" by the The O'Jays. "Killing Me Softly" returned to the top of the U.S. charts replacing "Love Train".
R&B artist Al B. Sure was the next to cover the song in 1988 on his debut album In Effect Mode... and experienced some success with it. He was voted the top new Male R&B solo artist in 1989. Hip-hop group The Fugees covered the song in 1996, with Lauryn Hill singing the lead vocals. Their version reached number two on the U.S. airplay chart, and had similar success in the U.K., reaching number one and selling over a million copies. Propelled by the success of the Fugees track, the version by Flack was remixed in 1996 and topped the Hot Dance Club Play chart.
Other major artists to cover the song include Engelbert Humperdinck, Frank Sinatra, Tori Amos, Eva Cassidy, Perry Como, Aretha Franklin, Anne Murray, Luther Vandross, Toni Braxton, Alicia Keys, Jaco Pastorius The Youngblood Brass Band and Shirley Bassey.
The song was prominently featured in the 2002 film About a Boy in which the boy of the title, Marcus, is ridiculed by classmates for singing the song, a favourite of his mother's, at his school talent show because of its feminine associations and romantic, emotional lyrics.
I was at my grandma and just played this simple song on the piano-thingy. Speak softly love. from the Godfather

"Killing Me Softly" Roberta Flack. I have always loved this song....every since I went to the South as a little kid for the summer. While in the summer school...I learned the hard way that the South is unlike the North. The teacher pulled out a wooden paddle an proceeded to tear my rear end up ( it should be noted that I have always been...and continue to be a generally nice guy. Whatever grounds there were that made the teacher see to it that I have total pain on my tush was to say the least...a slight misunderstanding. As I continued to count the number of "swats" being delivered, "Killing Me Softly" was being played on the little classroom radio. Needless to say, the song strikes a unique chord with me...and has ever since. Lol. Much love to yu all....and enjoy!
