Re: Songs with cool stories behind them
[ QUOTE ]
Interestingly, the song "Killing Me Softly" was apparently written about "American Pie", because Roberta Flack was so moved when she heard the song that she felt like Don McLean was, "singing my life with his words."

A poem was written by folk singer Lori Lieberman after she saw McLean perform "Empty Chairs" and other songs. It was reworked by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel into the song Flack recorded two years later.
