This song "Killing Me Softly" won the Grammy awards for: "Record of the year", "Song of the year" and "Pop Female Vocal of the year" for Ms. Roberta Flack. It was written back in 1971 by composer Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimble. It was first sung by Ms. Lori Lieberman in (1971) and failed to chart at all. And in 1973 Roberta Flack would take this song to international fame as the number one record in the UK, Canada and the USA. This version by Perry Como also came out in 1973. Awesome! Note: Perry Como was an international superstar back in the 40's, 50's 60's and 70's. He was one of those crooners like Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams with a smooth and soulful voice full of passion. His biggest hits were "It's Impossible'" and "And I Love You So." He is worth future reactions by you both. Awesome upload!
Perry Como was one of the classiest of all time. I know of his interaction with someone who helped him with a flat tire on a parkway. His tv show was great and his yearly Christmas/Holiday show was special. He would sing Ava Maria.
Wow I've heard this song A Thousand Times by Roberta Flack which is just such a beautiful voice, is a beautiful song, and also I think a Fuji or somebody like that also tried to sing it, but I never knew Perry Como did! man what a beautiful rendition!!
Lori Lieberman had the original hit back in 1972. The song was written between 1970 and 71, there have been many covers including Perry Como's, the most famous one of all by Roberta Flack which made no 1 and got a Grammy award for it.
This song was picked up in Europe to. German female vocalist Katja Ebstein recorded it, sung in German in 1973. I've always loved this song, it's a special one.
Thank you for reaction! As big Como fan I can say that he had a unique, melodious, soft, soothing voice. A very long succefull career since 30's till 90's. You may watch some of Como live performances on my channel.
The song was composed by Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimbel and Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean. Lieberman released her version of the song in 1972, but it did not chart. In 1973 it became a number-one hit in the United States, Australia and Canada for Roberta Flack. It was also released by Perry Como and Johnny Mathis in 1973 but Flack was the one who had the huge hit with it first.
I'm not much into this particular song, but man do I remember Perry Como. Watched his show on our old b&w round screen Zenith TV in the early 1950's when I was 7 years old. That kid I once was could never have guessed....
Roberta flack did a version in the 1970s that was amazing and Roberta flack version is the one that I need a hill and the fugees did a remake of. Got to love Perry Como. 👍♥️
This is awesome, one of my dad's favorite singers. He had a TV show starting way back to 1950. He covered all the popular songs back then and was on radio even before that. Had song great guests on his shows
Huge surprise! I had no idea Como had ever recorded this. I didn't even know he was still alive when this was out by Roberta Flack. Perry sings it beautifully, thought it's hard to mess this one up. (Side note: Perry Como was my mother's favorite singer, her heart-throb, back the 40's to 60's. I didn't appreciate him much then, but he sure sounded good here!)
MY OLDMANS FAVORITE GREW UP WITH THIS AND NAT KING COLE, A HOUSE FULL OF IRISH ,MY FATHER SINGING INTO A CANDLE STICK,........ HE PASSED NEARLY 10 YEARS NOW ........ BUT THIS BRINGS HIM RIGHT BACK HOME EVERYTIME i HEAR IT EVEN THE FUJIS VERSION ........IT JUST BUSTS ME UP AND THE TEARS AND MEMORIES COMING FLOODING BACK......... AWESOME VOCALS AWESOME RECORD LISTEN TO THIS ON THE ''AND I LOVE YOU SO ''ALBUM MY FAVORITE IS ''I WANNA GIVE''
I never heard this from him. He is a great singer but I remember him from my childhood, not from this time, Roberta Flack = is who I know this by in my late teens. Perry Como, Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, Don't let the stars get in your eyes, There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays (1954)
Check out Roberta Flack’s version, she won a few awards !! I listened to Perry Como when my parents played the records & have loved his voice & his smile since then! Perry Como a crooner for sure 💜🎶☮️😻
Written by Charles Ira Fox with writing partners Lori Lieberman (who sang it first(19772), and Norman Gimbel. In1973 it became a hit for Roberta Flack which was a number hit for her, won a Grammy Award Best Female Pop Vocal for that year. The Fugees cover the 1996 .The song was also covered Perry Como and Johnny Mathis both in 1973.
Lori Lieberman helped write this song after attending a Don McClean concert. Don McClean of course is the Talent that wrote and performed "Miss American Pie" and "Vincent (Starry Night)"
When I lived in FL in the 60's my dad went to Perry's house in Jupiter, FL to do glass work in his home. My dad owned a glass company and installed store fronts and private homes with windows, mirrors, etc. My dad said he was a nice guy and had a lovely home. Just a little story. There were so many crooners back then. You should do Roberta Flacks version. Perry covered her song. Her version is more emotional than Perry's. It is exceptional. Cheers from Canada
This is another one of the smooth crooners from the 40's-70's. He sold millions of records & pioneered a weekly musical variety television show. He received numerous awards for his music. The best version of this song "Killing Me Softly" is Roberta Flack.
"Mr. C", as he was nicknamed, did not start speaking English until he started school, as his parents were both from Italy and spoke Italian at home. He was a barber from the age of 14 and would sing, even though he never had a voice lesson.
This guy was big time in the mid-50's; had a very popular prime time tv show. His recording of "Round & Round" w/ its' rollicking tempo & choral backing is still a fav of mine, even after all these years. I hope you get to hear it sometime before you "slip the surly bonds/cash in your chips".
Perry Como had one of the most mellow voices in all popular music, yet his life story could make for a pretty exciting movie. Former singing barber being groomed at MGM to be a leading man until he stood up at Louis B. Mayer’s birthday party and sang, “Mr. Mayer, **** you!”
This song was written by Charles Fox and Normal Gimbel after Lori Lieberman had gone to a Don McLean concert (American Pie and Vincent). She gave them her thoughts on McLean's performance and they wrote the song for her to record. It didn't chart and in 1973 Roberta Flack did a cover of it and hit #1. Listen to Roberta's original hit version. Peace out.
Lori Lieberman what’s the one who sing it first, then Roberta Flack, and then the Fugees with Lauryn Hill. Perry Como did this cover 1973. Johnny Mathes also did a cover in 1973.
❤️🥰❤️ Hello S & M SQUAD, HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!! ☃️❄️🎄⭐️ This song was originally sung by Roberta Flack in the 70’s. It was the exact slow version as this one by Perry Como. Mr Como covered the song AFTER it was a MAJOR hit!!! Please play “THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE,” by ROBERTA FLACK. PRETTY PLEASE with sugar on top? Thank you!!! 👍🏻 ⭐️ ❤️ 🥰❤️ S and M SQUAD IS THE BEST!!! ❤️🥰❤️
Happy to see a reactor react to Perry Como. I don’t think I knew this version of the song either. May I suggest Andy Williams, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and “Moon River”. His version of The Most Wonderful Time if the Year is the one all of us old timers grew up hearing year after year. He had a very popular variety show which often makes featured The Osmond Brothers when Donny was very young.
You should react to the original by Lori Lieberman, she told the songwriters about her reaction to a concert (I believe it was Neil Diamond ) and they came up with this song!!
Do yourselves a favor and listen to Roberta Flack's 1973 rendition of this song, she really perfected the arrangement when she recorded it.🎹🎼 And while you're with her be sure to listen to Where is the Love from the 1972 album Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway. 💞🔥
Shawn and Mel, you truly need to listen to the best cover of this song by the wonderful Roberta Flack who made it a 1973 global hit..Guys there is noone like her. Also check out Roberta's studio and live versions of 'The First Time Ever I. Saw Your Face'.
love you, guys. neither did i. think andy williams had one, too. stop crying. lol. roberta rocks! prayers up, sister & clint eastwood. god bless & chime, ya'll!
I’m more acquainted with the Roberta Flack version which was a huge hit. Both versions were released in 1973, Roberta’s version hitting it big. The original version of this song is about a female that is listening to a male singer who is killing her softly with his song.
"Telling Us Softly With Her Calm" Chorus: Scrummin' our brains as she lingers Stringin' our time with her words Telling us softly with her calm Telling us softly with her calm Takin' her whole time with her words Telling us softly with her calm We heard she had a good calm We heard she had a style And so we came to see her To listen for a while And there she was this expert A doctor to advise Scrummin' our brains as she lingers... I felt all flushed with fever Needed to leave the crowd I could not find my questions To read each one out loud I prayed that she would finish But she just kept right on Scrummin' our brains as she lingers... She talked as if she knew us Like the voice at Carousel No rapid tests for the public The millions kept on shelves And she just kept on talkin' Talkin' 'bout Omicron Scrummin' our brains as she lingers... She was scrummin' our brains Yeah, she was stringin' our time Readin' the data with her calm Telling us softly with her calm Takin' her whole time with her words Telling us softly to be strong Letter: Dr. Henry seems content with B.C. being last with rapid tests Dec. 17, 2021 burnabynow DOT com
Shawn&Mel, love your channel, your reactions to the music and the music you play. I know those songs. If I may make a suggestion use Google, Siri or Alexa to research the music before you react. This song is not a mans version, Como covered itHe wasn’t first, Lori Lieberman was. Roberta Flack covered it and it was a hit. Merry Christmas
Roberta Flack was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971. She collaboration with Lori Lieberman. Lieberman released her version of the song in 1972. it did not chart. In 1973 it became a number-one hit in the United States, Australia and Canada for Roberta Flack.
unfortunately, Perry Como came along at the same time as Crosby, Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, All major stars and worth it. someone always has to come 2nd. Perry Como.' was perhaps the most Laid back singer. but had some fun hits, "Magic Moments" being a really big one. 50s and early 60s were really the voice years and a huge variation from the above mentioned, Elvis, to Tom Jones, to Johnny Cash, Everlys, to Brenda Lee to Sarah Vaughan . We had it All !!!
A male version? This isn't a love song. and so "his" and "her" are immaterial! It's the story of somebody responding to watching a performance by a "sensitive" singer/songwriter ( Don McLean according to Lori Lieberman) I guess Perry didn't understand that...or lots of other people either!
Perry Como makes any song sound beautiful, heartfelt, touching...he has the voice of an angel.
would he read me the phone book please?

Great, great era of music......True talent...
I never knew that Perry did this song. Beautiful.
My wife loved his voice. He did a Christmas tv show every year and was the highest paid tv performer.
My Mom have one of his Christmas shows taped on a vhs!! 💖
My dad's favorite singer. So many fond memories.
Wow I've heard this song A Thousand Times by Roberta Flack which is just such a beautiful voice, is a beautiful song, and also I think a Fuji or somebody like that also tried to sing it, but I never knew Perry Como did! man what a beautiful rendition!!

Perry Como, one of the great crooners of the 1950s.

Perry Como, Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, Don't let the stars get in your eyes, There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays (1954)

ya, her version still gets me to this day. Beautiful song.
BUT her favorite song of mine is "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" Wow.
could be my favorite female vocal performance of all time.
@@bugvswindshield I love that song too. Just beautiful.
My favorite Perry Como song is "And I Love You So."
Roberta Flack sings 25th of last December. My favorite song.
"Mr. C", as he was nicknamed, did not start speaking English until he started school, as his parents were both from Italy and spoke Italian at home. He was a barber from the age of 14 and would sing, even though he never had a voice lesson.

Great Voice
I love your love for romantic feelings and music! Speaking for God and myself we love and need more romantics in this world.
I always just thought Wyclef and Lauren wrote this. What a trip.
Perry Como had one of the most mellow voices in all popular music, yet his life story could make for a pretty exciting movie. Former singing barber being groomed at MGM to be a leading man until he stood up at Louis B. Mayer’s birthday party and sang, “Mr. Mayer, **** you!”
Perry Como, “Mister Smooth”.

Definitely do Roberta Flack version ! ☮️🌻❤️😎
I saw her interviewed about Don Mclean, always wondered if it was his song Vincent that touched her. Ms. Roberta Flack knocked it out of the park
I love Perry Como!
I love the Christmas classic “Magic Moments” by Perry Como. He is a mellow musical treasure. He can whistle like a canary in that song LOL 😍
Roberta Flack did a wonderful cover of this song as well.
Another song I love by Roberta is " The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" 👍👍❤️
They called him Me. C he had a weekly tv show in the 50's. Hear him sing, "Ave Maria"for Christmas.
Lori Lieberman what’s the one who sing it first, then Roberta Flack, and then the Fugees with Lauryn Hill. Perry Como did this cover 1973. Johnny Mathes also did a cover in 1973.
Never heard Perry sing this before.

My favorite Perry Como song is "And I Love You So."
Perry Como is the man, I like his voice more than Frank. His version of Days of Wine and Roses is a gem.
Gotta give this one to Roberta Flack. The voice and emotion of her voice brings it for me.
Happy to see a reactor react to Perry Como. I don’t think I knew this version of the song either. May I suggest Andy Williams, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and “Moon River”.

React to Perry Como - it's a good day 🎶
The writer wrote the first version.
Roberta flack won a Grammy with her version of it.
I think Sinatra did it too.
Perry Como and Johnny Mathis recorded this song in 1973 i believe
Robertas version beautiful !
You should react to the original by Lori Lieberman, she told the songwriters about her reaction to a concert (I believe it was Neil Diamond ) and they came up with this song!!
It was Don McLean, not Neil Diamond.
I love your posts
The first time I ever heard this song it was from the amazing Roberta Flack.
Ok. I subscribe. Saludos
"Impossible" by him
Do yourselves a favor and listen to Roberta Flack's 1973 rendition of this song, she really perfected the arrangement when she recorded it.🎹🎼 And while you're with her be sure to listen to Where is the Love from the 1972 album Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway. 💞🔥
It was originally written by a woman, and a huge hit for Roberta Flack in 1973. Perry's is a remake. Listen to Roberta. It will blow you away.
Roberta Flack did this song the best Killing Me Softly Plus guys you need to do Roberts song The first time ever I saw your face please.👍💜
Perry had it first back when I was a kid.
No!
Como's performance in old analog black and white... Duh!
Shawn and Mel, you truly need to listen to the best cover of this song by the wonderful Roberta Flack who made it a 1973 global hit..Guys there is noone like her. Also check out Roberta's studio and live versions of 'The First Time Ever I. Saw Your Face'.

Good song good review thanks and a good version of the song
Peggy Lee sand Fever
how about the man version by Elvis
You need to react to Roberta Flack's cover. It's simply beautiful.
There is also a version with the Fugees with special appearance of Roberta Flack. Check out on TH-cam.
"Telling Us Softly With Her Calm"
Chorus:
Scrummin' our brains as she lingers
Stringin' our time with her words
Telling us softly with her calm
Telling us softly with her calm
Takin' her whole time with her words
Telling us softly with her calm
We heard she had a good calm
We heard she had a style
And so we came to see her
To listen for a while
And there she was this expert
A doctor to advise
Scrummin' our brains as she lingers...
I felt all flushed with fever
Needed to leave the crowd
I could not find my questions
To read each one out loud
I prayed that she would finish
But she just kept right on
Scrummin' our brains as she lingers...
She talked as if she knew us
Like the voice at Carousel
No rapid tests for the public
The millions kept on shelves
And she just kept on talkin'
Talkin' 'bout Omicron
Scrummin' our brains as she lingers...
She was scrummin' our brains
Yeah, she was stringin' our time
Readin' the data with her calm
Telling us softly with her calm
Takin' her whole time with her words
Telling us softly to be strong
Letter: Dr. Henry seems content with B.C. being last with rapid tests

Roberta Flack had a big hit with this song. Perry is a great crooner.
The guy voice is the original
Perry Como's version is one of the many covers. The most famous cover is Roberta Flack's version from 1973, one year after Lori Lieberman's original.
Silent Night by The Temptations 🙏🌌
Shawn&Mel, love your channel, your reactions to the music and the music you play. I know those songs. If I may make a suggestion use Google, Siri or Alexa to research the music before you react. This song is not a mans version, Como covered itHe wasn’t first, Lori Lieberman was. Roberta Flack covered it and it was a hit. Merry Christmas
Listen to the version by Roberta Flack; she does a great job with this song.
Roberta Flack recorded this 30 years before Lauren Hill. Hers was the original version and it was a huge hit.
Roberta's version was a huge hit but it is a cover.
You really need to do Roberta Flack's version. Enjoy
Roberta Flack was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971. She collaboration with Lori Lieberman. Lieberman released her version of the song in 1972. it did not chart. In 1973 it became a number-one hit in the United States, Australia and Canada for Roberta Flack.
React to Vic Damone- The Most Beautiful Girl in the World.
Mel would love, And I Love You So. My wife and I love to hold each other and slow dance to it.
If you like his voice you need to react to It's Impossible.
Jesus perry. I didn’t know that was you. 🙏
unfortunately, Perry Como came along at the same time as
Crosby, Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, All major stars and worth it. someone always has to come 2nd. Perry Como.'
was perhaps the most Laid back singer. but had some fun hits, "Magic Moments" being a really big one.
50s and early 60s were really the voice years and a huge variation from the above mentioned, Elvis, to Tom Jones, to Johnny Cash, Everlys, to Brenda Lee to Sarah Vaughan . We had it All !!!
☮️💙😎
Like many have mentioned please listen to Roberta Flack's version.....
A male version? This isn't a love song. and so "his" and "her" are immaterial! It's the story of somebody responding to watching a performance by a "sensitive" singer/songwriter ( Don McLean according to Lori Lieberman) I guess Perry didn't understand that...or lots of other people either!
