Killing Me Softly

This I did not know: the song "Killing Me Softly", so memorably sung by Roberta Flack, was inspired by a performance of "Empty Chairs" by Don McLean. After listening, for the nth time, to the McLean song, I can say that I can see it. Beautiful, mournful song...

McLean is remembered mostly for "American Pie" and "Vincent", but he deserves much more.
