Lori Lieberman best known for "Killing Me Softly", has recorded over a dozen LPs/CDs from Capitol Records to Independent labels. Raised in Switzerland, she moved to Los Angeles where she began her recording career and toured extensively throughout the United States and Europe.
Starting in 1972, she released a series of albums on Capitol. Her debut album included the first recording of "Killing Me Softly," composed by Gimbel and Fox based on a poem written by Lori about the impact a Don Maclean performance had on her. Though hers was the original, it is later versions of the song, first by Roberta Flack and then by The Fugees, that are better known.
A 2009 CD, "Gun Metal Sky" was a combination of self-penned compositions as well as four covers and a re-recording of her "Killing Me Softly". In 2016 she released the album Ready for the Storm.
