“KILLING ME SOFTLY” by ROBERTA FLACK

BLACK HISTORY MONTH continues with a classic ballad that was recorded by legendary R&B singer, Roberta Flack.

This ballad tells the story of a woman who’s deeply moved by a song that seems to reflect her own experiences and emotions. Often regarded as one of the greatest vocal performances in the history of popular music, this song won two Grammy Awards for “Record of the Year” and “Best Female Pop Vocal Performance”.

On this very day, February 24th 1973, it was the #1 song in America, topping Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. If you’d like to have a listen, please feel free to use the provided link. As we continue our salute to Black History month, here’s ROBERTA FLACK with “KILLING ME SOFTLY”…
