Lieberman was the first to record Fox and Gimbel’s song, in 1971, but it became a bigger hit when covered by Roberta Flack in 1973, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks. It was replaced by “Love Train” by the The O’Jays. “Killing Me Softly” returned to the top of the U.S. charts replacing “Love Train”. R&B artist Al B.
