Episode Description

On Episode 2 of NOTES BETWEEN SESSIONS WITH MARY EDWARDS,  singer/songwriter Lori Lieberman speaks quite candidly of her relationship with the team of Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel—creators of themes such as Barbarella, Goodbye Columbus, Love, American Style, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Angie and Wonder Woman—who at once chaperoned her into the wider musical realm with “Killing Me Softly,” on which they collaborated. They were also the key figures in her decades-long struggle to reclaim rightful origin to a song delivered with as equal authenticity by Roberta Flack, Lauryn Hill and the Fugees, and of course, Lieberman herself. We had a good old fashioned phone conversation from her home in LA to my studio in NY, where  we shared laughs, tears and truths about the song that at one time symbolically kept her hiding in plain sight, but now sets her free.
