"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".

枫下拾英 / 乐韵书香 / 经典老歌】Killing Me Softly With His Song (ZT) -jiqimao(阿蒙); 2007-4-10 (#3606297@0)

第一次听这首歌，大约在15、6年前。当时听到的不是这个版本，而是更感性、干净的声音。以后很难再找到。Anyway, it's still one of my favorite... -ingale(今夕何夕); 2007-4-10 (#3606760@0)
