“Killing Me Softly With His Song” is a cover by Fugees, featured on their 1996 album The Score. Originally a 1973 hit for Roberta Flack, the Fugees reimagined the track as a smooth hip-hop soul track, driven by Lauryn Hill's breathtaking lead vocals. The song became a global phenomenon, topping the charts in the UK, Germany, Australia and across much of Europe, while winning the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
Although it dominated US radio airwaves, the label intentionally withheld its release as a commercial single in America to encourage sales of The Score, a strategy that helped boost the album, which went on to sell over 22 million copies worldwide. The group's arrangement incorporated elements of A Tribe Called Quest's "Bonita Applebum," giving the classic soul song a jazzy hip-hop feel. The cover was so highly regarded that Roberta Flack praised Lauryn Hill's rendition and later adopted elements of the Fugees' arrangement in her own live performances.

Subir la edad de jubilación y la de la PGU no son lo mismo. Hoy en Punto Aparte 👉
