No other soul album compares to Roberta Flack’s Killing Me Softly (1973): her voice is powerful, deep, and dignified. Where some singers confuse passion with excess, Flack remains confident, majestic, and composed—intense and profound, yet restrained in her own unique way. The title track of this masterful eight-track album became her second number-one hit and quickly established her as a leading R&B artist of her generation.
Both the media and audiences embraced the artist’s fifth album: the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) initially awarded Killing Me Softly Gold status and ultimately certified it Double Platinum in 2006. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year but lost to Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions. The title track was released as a single, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for an extended period, and won the 1974 Grammy Award for Record of the Year.
