    The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971. She was so strongly affected by McLean singing the song "Empty Chairs" that it spurred her to write poetic notes on a paper napkin because he touched her world so much with his performance.

    Robert Flack is one of the greatest singer/songwriters and I also think The Fugees did a great cover and made it their own as well. I miss Lauryn Hill though. The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill is a fantastic album. I don't know, maybe she just wants out of that life and just be there for her kids. And more power to her if that's her choice. I'll just keep listening to her music and watch her on Sister Act 2. 😎👍

    I've lived through the original and popular covers of this song. They're all fabulous. Lorie Leiberman wrote it and sang it. Roberta Flack and Lauren Hill covered it. I just don't understand the Fugees cover. It seems too light hearted and frivilous--young people flirting and throwing popcorn in a movie theatre. I don't get it. Is there a message I'm missing? It seems so sophmroric.
