Female R&B singers were expected to be forceful, big-voiced divas (like Aretha Franklin) or come-hither seductresses (like Diana Ross), but, as AllMusic says, Roberta Flack had her own unique approach. Flack's voice is vast, deep, and stately - where some singers confuse frenzy with passion, she is confident, majestic, and unhurried, intense in a profound yet reserved manner. The title song of this 1973 masterful eight track album, 'Killing Me Softly', was her second No. 1 hit, establishing her as a major modern R&B stylist. 'Killing Me Softly' reached No. 3 on the Billboard Top LPs and Tape and No. 2 on the Soul LPs chart.
