EP 14 | Killing Me Softly with Songwriter Lori Lieberman
Manage episode 421040757 series 3333325
Songwriter Lori Lieberman wrote a poem about the impact Don McClean's song, "Empty Chairs" had on her. That poem became, "Killing Me Softly." Her co-writers were Norman Gimbel (lyricist) and Charles Fox (composer). They helped develop the poem into a full-fledged song. But years later, after their personal and professional relationship with Lori had gone sour, they attempted to re-write history, and claimed that the story of Lori writing the poem that became, "Killing Me Softly" was an "Urban Legend."
In this episode of, "I'm All Over the Place" I sit down for an extensive conversation with Lori, whose version of "Killing Me Softly" pre-dates Roberta Flack's. We discuss her upbringing, her career, her relationship with Gimbel and Fox, and how she's doing today.
