I think the song is very straight forward. She went to a concert of someone she had not heard much by. He sang and she related so well she became emotional, it hit home. Everyone at one point hears a song and it just really hits them, and this is what happened to Roberta Flack when she went to a Don McClain concert. When he sang a certain song (not sure on what song it was) she became very emotional and this is what she wrote about. And I think that the Fugees did a wonderful cover with much emotion and they owned the song.
@penny-lane False. The song was written by Norman Gimbel in collaboration with Lori Lieberman, who first recorded the song in '71. Roberta Flack didn't top the charts with her version of this son until '73.
