I really am so sad that people have forgotten that this was the first version of killing me softly. So many have redone this song, but Lori literally wrote it and people forget that. This is my favorite version because it is such a calming and relaxing melody, and when she sings, I feel the passion in each and every word. This will always be my favorite.

This came on WNEW-FM in NYC and I just stopped and then poured out my eyes as to how beautiful of a song it was...her voice, the arrangement and of course the strings. I could not stop sobbing (I am sure there was another factor for that). The next day after school I went to my local record store and purchased the LP. It had the same effect on me even afterwards. For whatever reason, this version holds a special place in my heart.

The song actually doesn't belong to her cos she didn't compose it. A lot of commenters seem to think that 'cos this version was recorded first that Lori wrote the song herself. The truth is the song was composed by a professional songwriter called Charles Fox along with a lyricist Norman Gimbel... Lori did collaborate by adding some lyrics (something most pop artists do when given a pre-written song) but the romantic idea that this piece of music is purely her heart being spilled in the form of song is a myth. It's a great song but you are giving Lori too much credit for the intellectual property.

the guitarist was NOT Lori, it was Dennis Budimir. (More uninformed unemployed people with too much time on their hands.) And Lori has never said she wrote this sing in any interview ever. Others say to her "But you wrote this" and she smiles and says "I'm just happy to be a part of a great song". If you look on the back of the album (which I just found on the web) it says "all songs composed by fox/gimbel except "My lover do you know" written and published by Lori Lieberman. For all they knew, in 1971/2 when making the album, Roberta Flack a year later might have discovered that song and turned that into a hit. And Fox/Gimbel would have been happy for her if it did turn out that way.

I can't stop loving you..as if I ever would ever want to..woodstock..love. Lives on in the heart..when no one else hears. The melodies..as if they weren't ever there..to hear the best of a soul..guitar accompaniment is even better.

I'm obsessed with finding the original version of a song. And now I can confidently say: "the best version of a song is the original." Of course, exceptions are not the rule.

thanks for giving us the truth about this poem in music, we all have associated this song for years to Roberta Flack or the Fugees, and I'm so happy that the author is Lori Lieberman, I hope from today that she's a bit more followed, because she gave us each a beautiful dream!
