Nothing else sounded like those two monster hits Roberta Flack had in the early 70s, Killing Me Softly and The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.
It was an age when it was standard to sing songs others wrote-- and making them into your own was the feat.
She certainly did. She won over everyone.

She sounds as beautiful as ever.
RIP🎶
I told myself that THIS was the gold standard of covers, and they her voice was the hottest thing ever.
Then, I got home and read the news of her passing. I was gutted.
Beautiful beyond words.....
Will miss her magnificent talent.
She was an icon
How I will miss her.
When Lauryn Hill sang Killing Me Softly, I couldn't have scoffed more. What a load of nerve to cover Flack.
Then I heard it.
Now I love both versions, and my favorite one is the one I just heard.
Did you like the version by The Fugees?
I was lucky enough to hear them sing it to one another.
