1974年 第十六届 Killing Me Softly With His Song - Roberta Flack
这首歌是我非常喜欢的,介绍一下这首歌的创作背景:歌曲作者Charles Fox和Norman Gimbel,是看了Lori Lieberman写的诗"Killing Me Softly with His Blues,",才有了灵感写下这首歌。Lori Lieberman写这首诗,是因为现场看了Don McLean唱的歌"Empty Chairs",为之倾倒,而成为他的超级歌迷,并用诗记录下了当初看演唱会的情景。Lori Lieberman在1971年首先录制了这首歌曲,而两年后Roberta Flack翻唱了这首歌,让它红了起来,成为Billboard百名歌曲排行榜的第一名。
