Killing Me Softly - Fugees/Roberta Flack (stripped cover ft. Rozzi) | stories

[@BarneyDavey]

I saw Roberta Flack mesmerize the audience at the Mississippi River Festival 1971. More than 50 years later, I stumbled upon this stirring rendition you make totally and timelessly relevant. Rozzi's performance is a vocal tour de force!

I love that we're living in a world where an engineer gets recognized. Especially one as good as @Justin Glasco

[@antemercep8844]

She's by far my favorite singer. I just love her style of singing, she can go slightly nasal when she wants, but she does it only shortly, than she lets little rasp in, she can sing clear... anything she wants, but every little thing she does is in service of the song . I could just close my eyes and enjoy. Unperfect perfection.

She has some videos of her singing in her car and they're fire

@@daisyjane6478 Watching her work her hands in this vid makes the idea of here singing while driving slightly terrifying.

This brings me right back to the night, sometime in the mid-70s, when I was an usherette at the Queen E Playhouse in Vancouver, and got to see Roberta Flack perform this live. I sat on the steps of the upper balcony, mesmerized, tears rolling down my cheeks. Still can't believe I got paid to be overwhelmed by emotion. And this version gives me shivers!

Something magical, Rozzi, about the way you sing with your hands as much as with your voice. It’s as though the music wants to come through every pore, as though you’re literally handing it to your listener. Just wonderful.

So many great nuances capturing the Roberta Flack vibe!

[@chipsterb4946]

It’s rare that a voice just grabs me and won’t let go. I listened to this twice then went on Spotify to hear some more. This isn’t my kind of music - not my generation - and yet she’s taken this classic from ages ago and made it her own in a very special way. Plus the arrangement and musicians are fantastic.

start of the song. it has little nuance, distortions, fade, which adds a layer of oldness. a totaly diffrent vibe. love it.

[@naomijones1850]

This is one of the GREATEST singers I've EVER heard! Such a beautiful rendition! And the instrumentalist is ALSO SO talented! This rendition actually brought tears to my eyes! I want to hear MORE of Rozzi AND her accompanist!!!!! 💖💘💓💗💯🎤🎵🎼🎼🎶🎶🎤🥰😍🤩🕺👆🤗💎💯💗

[@vanpid]

Wow. wow. wow. Just putting aside for a second the JAW dropping performance from Rozzi. Ryan! Again with a ridicules guitar tone? what!? like that baritone acoustic bass sound. You've got me scratching my head going "how? what? ooo sooo goooood" Old vintagey EQ? but somehow gets the old speaker rattle with the bass notes. rubber bridge and tail piece? on a... semi hollow les paul jr rhythm? what! Kudos to you and your journey in sound crafting. What a juicy soft tone for my ears to sink into.

[@db-ol5dl]

[@ronburgundy4375]

One of the most underrated 90s songs

[@iFoneVids]

Actually this is a 70s song by Roberta Flack.

[@Customerbuilder]

@@iFoneVids Umm, actually.... "Killing Me Softly with His Song" is a song composed by Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimbel. The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971.

[@iFoneVids]

@@Customerbuilder I understand but I know that Roberta made it famous. But thank you for the info. 👍🏼

[@AlanLamb11]

@@iFoneVids Roberta Flack's version is stil the best but there are a couple other very good version. This comes closest to Roberta's version which is both good and bad, I prefer Roberta's version but this was a great tribute and showcases a very skilled singer. I think she could have made it her own more clearly.

No doubt. Lauryn Hill made this a radio staple & mass favorite of the 90's...
