It certainly is and 'The Girl from Ipanema'. Very atmospheric songs.

Killing me softly is a great song. I saw Roberta Flack perform this back in the late 70's or early 80's. Accused by some of being too clinical in her execution of songs. If she is we need more of it, that's what I say.

A great song . What an innings..
