Killing Me Softly remix by The Fugees is one of my favourite songs of the Late 90's. R.I.P Roberta Flack. |

pope191:I doubt this claim, Frank Sinatra had his own version too. You're right, 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. |

Siberia01:Gladys Knight and the Pips. Mama Gladys, my favourite singer ever. Known for "Midnight train to Georgia" but their back catalogue was immense, in fact "Midnight train to Georgia" wasn't even in my top three songs of theirs. Nowhere near. I remember buying a CD compilation and having to play some tracks repeatedly that I heard for the first time. 1) Sorry (doesn't always make it right) 2) You're the best thing ths ever happened to me 3) The way we were And these are off the top of my head, I think there's a different number 3 if I go through and check. Anyway, apologies for derailing the thread, rest in peace Mama Roberta. |

Damn! I'm technically Gen-Z but my dad used to have plenty of her tapes and vinyls back when I was young. Together with Al Green, Peabo Bryson, Amy Grant and others. Sad to hear. R.I.P |

englishmart:Stop this black black mentality. You taking it too far. We have great music artists that are white and also great music artists that are blacks. The likes of Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and even Bob Marley are white. I know u be shocked at Bob Marley own. U can check it out |
| Re: American Singer, Roberta Flack, Dies Aged 88 by We4all: 11:54am On Feb 25, 2025 |
mayor1814:Bob Marley was mixed, not white. |

We4all:If you are black and your wife is white, what does that make your child even though your class will be classified as mixed race? Same goes for a white father and black mother. Drake has white mom and black father, he identifies as black. Same goes with j.cole, Tyga etc |
