wow...thank u Steph. This song always had a place in my heart .

I really liked this version of the theme. It does justice to a great song

what a beautiful voice! so soft and enchanting. nice tribute to the classic. Refreshing. TY for sharing

I was delighted when talented composer and musician Shauna-Kay Hamilton invited me to do a collaboration with her. She suggested we do a cover of "Killing Me Softly". Initially I felt intimidated - such a huge, well-loved song. But then I started humming it and soon I was hooked and so I said okay let's give it a go. 

So here is our version. We hope you enjoy it and thanks so much for taking a listen.

A big thanks to Joe Drzewiecki for giving his time and knowledge to help eliminate pesky hissing S's on the vocal track. Check out Joe's wonderful music here: http://soundcloud.com/jomama-2

Info on the song: composed by Charles Fox and written by Norman Gimbel. A number-one hit in 1973 for Roberta Flack. Later covered by the Fugees in 1995, also reaching No 1.
