RIP Roberta Flack

[Jon in Pasadena]

It took it 50+ years, but his song finally got her.

 

I'd say that qualifies as softly.

very sad when anyone dies, but you had to use that quip. You had to.

 

on a separate note, that song always reminds me of one my favorite early 2000s movies “About a Boy.” The kid in it is an awkward middle school kid who sings “killing me softly” for the school talent show, ready to basically feel the brunt of massive scorn and ridicule.

You just HAD to go there.

It's like my fingers were being controlled by an outside entity.

The Hogan Family theme song.  Still stands out in my head all these many years later it was that good

“The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” is one of THE most beautiful songs, ever.

 

If I were on a deserted island and had an iPod and solar charger with 5 songs, that would be one of them.

Song during smooching scene in “Play Misty For Me”…..yuck!  Besides that, movie is a fun watch, if you like psycho types.

 

”Killing Me Softly” was as good.

She was classy and classic. Thanks for the great music Roberta.

I agree, some songs just seem to touch your soul.

 

But I would trade all 5 songs for a functional satellite phone.  😊
