The Roberta Flack Killing Me Softly vinyl LP (SD 7271) is the fourth studio album by Roberta Flack, released on August 1, 1973, by Atlantic Records.
 
Flack's voice is powerful, deep and dignified! Where some singers mistake passion for frenzy, Flack is confident, regal and serene – intense, profound, but restrained in her own way. The title track from this masterful eight-track album became her second number-one hit and quickly established her as a major R&B performer of her generation.
 
Both the media and the public embraced the artist's fifth album: the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) initially awarded “Killing Me Softly” gold status and then double platinum in 2006! It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, but lost out to Stevie Wonder's album “Innervisions”. The title track was released as a single, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a long time and won the 1974 Grammy Award for Single of the Year.
