《Killing Me Softly》by Roberta Flack cover by Noelle Maracle
1971年，美國民謠女歌手Lori Lieberman在一次偶然的機緣下，去聽了當時還并不見傳的另一位民謠歌手Don Mclean的現場演唱。Lori Lieberman被Don的一首歌“Empty chair”深深地打動了，她隨后寫下詩歌“Killing me softly with his blues”。這首詩后來被Charles Fox和Norman Gimbel創作成了歌曲“Killing me softly with his song”,并由Lori Lieberman親自演唱。但真正讓這首歌走紅的是美國老牌黑人女歌手Roberta Flack，1973年，Flack碰巧在飛機上聽到這歌，下飛機后立馬找到作者要求錄制這歌，結果一個月里登上BILLBOARD的冠軍，接下來又收錄在一張專輯里，獲得當年GRAMMY年度最佳女流行歌手、最佳專輯、最佳歌曲獎。
1973年全美流行單曲榜5周冠軍曲，早年的鄧麗君也曾翻唱過該曲。
