Laurie Ann Lieberman Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Lori Lieberman (born November 15, 1951) is an American singer-songwriter who accompanies herself on guitar and piano. She first came to public attention in the early 1970s with a series of albums on Capitol Records, one of which featured the first recording of "Killing Me Softly With His Song". After a long hiatus, she resumed her recording career in the mid-1990s.
She is best-known as the original singer of "Killing Me Softly With His Song". Lori wrote a poem titled "Killing Me Softly With His Blues" after seeing Don McLean in concert singing "Empty Chairs" (not "American Pie", as commonly believed). Lori presented her poem to the songwriting team of Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox, who turned her poem into a song just for her. Lori's original didn't make the pop chart, but it was heard on some easy listening stations. The song would be subsequently recorded by Anne Murray and Hysear Walker (aka "Hysear Don Walker"), but to little fanfare. Then, Roberta Flack covered the song after listening to Lieberman's original while in flight, and it became a worldwide smash, earning the Record Of The Year award.
