name that tunee!! (Killing me softly)

This is a very common one. Til this day alot of people still think this was "The Fugees" and pretty much give lauryn hill all the credit...dont get me wrong she did do her damage to the track..but then again,what doesnt she do damage too? lol....but yeah this classic is "Roberta Flack" but written and composed by Charlie Fox and Norman gimbel...it was actually origianlly in a another language if i remember right and Roberta Flack re-did it to the version everyone knows and loves..i fell in love with the poetry in the song,which is lauryns style as well and not so much Roberta Flacks so its definitely justifiable that people dont know that its not lauryns song...p.s. keep scrolling down through a lil sumtin else in there 2..

    lol well the song was originally written as just a poem about an expierience a person had watching a blues show..so it has nothing to do with love for a male or female,just love of music,although it does seem like it and lauryn kinda gave off that vibe that it was love song and we all know how lauryn is with her double meanings lol..but it was just about the feeling a musician is giving you and how they make u feel as if theyre speaking to you and putting your feelings into a way you couldnt describe..u feel me?..we've all felt that b4 lol....n also the whole "no h0m0" thing wasnt invented yet so he couldnt call it haha
