Episode description

TVC 681.2: From October 2010: Charles Fox, the Grammy Award-winning and Emmy Award-winning composer who co-wrote "Killing Me Softly with His Song" along with Norman Gimbel, talks to Ed about the phone call he received from Roberta Flack in 1972, asking if she could perform "Killing Me Softly," and how that call changed Charles' life. Nearly forty years later, Flack wrote the foreword to Charles' memoir, Killing Me Softly: My Life in Music (Scarecrow Press, 2010). Roberta Flack passed away Monday, Feb. 24 at the age of eighty-eight.
