Bonus Episode - (Breakdown) Killing Me Softly
Listen now
Description
We're releasing this Breakdown in advance of our interview with Lori Lieberman, which is coming soon! For years, it was understood that Lori Lieberman's poem about Don McClean was the inspiration behind the iconic ballad, "Killing Me Softly." Until it wasn't. Here's the story of how the person whose writing was the foundation for this Grammy-winning song was edged out of a writing credit, and later, denied any acknowledgement of her work being the inspiration for the classic Roberta Flack hit at all.  Be sure to join the Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/darastarrtucker.
