The Road to Roberta Flack’s ‘Killing Me Softly’
The Wall Street Journal

How a line from an Argentine novel and a looping playlist on a flight to L.A. helped the 1973 hit come together. Read the full story.

I think this article is fun and interesting, but I hope Lori Lieberman’s quote therein gives her proper and full credit for her role in writing the lyrics and singing the song.
