The original LP was issued on Capitol 11081 - Killing Me Softly With His Song (Charles Fox-Norman Gimbel) by Lori Lieberman, conducted by Charles Fox, released July 1972
A major #1 hit for Roberta Flack in 1973, this song by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel was (apparently) based upon a poem written by singer Lieberman after having been entranced by a live Don McLean performance of the song “Empty Chairs.” This track was then recorded for her 1972 LP “Lori Lieberman"
