    This song was written by a girl name Lori Lieberman who was a singer songwriter back in the day. Lori does say that the song was inspired by a Don McLean show that she attended, although she thought it was kind of "corny" to admit that! She wrote down some notes on a napkin at the show, went home and wrote the song, recorded the song which went no where until Roberta released HER version.

    Music truly is transcendent, able to lift you out of time and place, and take you to an entirely different plane of being. And no just in a concert with thousands of other people around. When it's just you in a room with your headphones, the magic still works just as well. better even, one might argue.
    P.S. - Go ahead and sing along, Liz. You carry a tune quite nicely.

Her version went no where but when Roberta released HER version Lori had mixed feelings, one, she was happy that her song was a hit! Two, she was a little jealous that Roberta got more attention, three, she thought that Robertas' version was, indeed much better that hers! Google Lori Lieberman. The story is right there.

    It was good hearing this song again. As others have mentioned, this was Roberta Flack's song response to hearing the song "The Day the Music Died (American Pie)" when she saw/heard Don McLean sing it at a live concert she attended. This song is a reflection of the emotions she felt when hearing the song. Because of the death of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Vales, and The Big Bopper, that entire generation of young people experienced a tragic emotion event together that was a life changer for most of them. Here is a link to the story behiind the story that I know you will like and it will help you understand both songs more completely (because I know you love music so much). ruclips.net/video/QmyGZ64J9yg/видео.html
    You don't have to react to this (I'm not requesting it) but I think you will be glad if you go see this for your own education and enjoyment. It will stir your heart, I believe.
    This was a delightful reaction, as are all of yours because you are just so delightful. And, by the way, I'm fine if you want to lose the earphones. If they aren't helping and they are not comfortable, why use them?

    I thought I posted this earlier this week. But posting from my phone sometimes screws up. So if it's a duplication, my apologies.
    First thing, Roberta Flack's vinyl "Quiet Fire" is something to listen to on a rainy afternoon. With "a friend"
    Also, I believe Clint Eastwood has a lot to do with Roberta Flack's fame.
    There was a movie - "Play Misty For Me".
    There was a song - "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
    There was "a moment" - ruclips.net/video/ee_u1HQxh2s/видео.html
