Perfil

Roberta Flack (Black Mountain, 10 de fevereiro de 1937) é uma cantora, pianista e compositora estadunidense. == Biografia == Nasceu na Carolina do Norte, e seus pais eram pianistas. Quando tinha nove anos de idade seu pai conseguira-lhe um piano num ferro-velho que, em seu relato, "pintou de verde e cheirava mal, mas eu toquei e pratiquei por horas incontáveis naquele piano (...) Isso me deu asas da música que, como uma menina de 9 anos, eu precisava tanto". Com somente quinze anos de idade foi admitida na Universidade Howard. O single "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" a levou ao topo da classificação da Billboard, no ano de 1972. Alcançou algumas vezes o cume das paradas, com sucessos como Killing Me Softly With His Song, que a levou a receber o prêmio Grammy. No ano de 2016 ela sofreu um acidente vascular cerebral. Em janeiro de 2022 contraiu a Covid-19 e, mesmo com as sequelas do AVC, ainda pretendia retomar a carreira com projetos de lançar um documentário autobiográfico e um livro infantil que lembraria seu primeiro piano. Em novembro desse mesmo ano ela anunciou o fim da carreira musical, por estar com esclerose lateral amiotrófica, que dificultava-lhe a fala, embora mantivesse a intenção de continuar algumas atividades como o livro que dividia a autoria com Tonya Bolden e outras ações através de uma fundação. Na análise de Daniel Garrán, "Roberta Flack converteu-se por méritos próprios numa das cantoras de soul mais importantes da década de 70.

Letra

Struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life
With his words
Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see
And listen for a while

And there he was this young
Boy
A stranger to my eyes
Struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softy with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life
With his words
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letter
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

Struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softy with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life
With his words
Killing me softly with his song

He sang as if he knew me
In all my darkness fair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softy with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life
With his words
Killing me softly with his song

Ohhhhhhhhhhh oohhhhhhh...Lalalal..Ohhhh lalaaaaaaa

Struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softy with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life
With his words
Killing me (softly)

He was strumming my pain
Yeah he was singing my life
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
