1973 : La Voz Que Enamoró

Si algo caracterizó la década de los 70as fué la calidad no sólo de las canciones si no también de los intérpretes. El nacimiento de nuevas voces y la consagración definitiva de otras hicieron de esta década una delicia de sonidos que quedarón como clásicos de la música contemporánea.

Para 1973 las melodías llamadas baladas se seguirían imponiendo. La norteamericana Roberta Flack que se inició cantando en un club de jazz, impondría para este año a nivel mundial "Killing Me Softly With His Song", una de las canciones más queridas de la historia. Esta morena con una impactante voz se convertía así en la sensación y revelación del momento. Radio Miraflores, la emisora del momento consagraría como Nro.1 de 1973, este gran tema de Roberta Flack, "Killing Me Softly With His Song"

NRO. 01 DE 1973 EN RADIO MIRAFLORES, HACIENDO HISTORIA :

KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH HIS SONG - ROBERTA FLACK





"Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.

I heard he sang a good song, i heard he had a style.
and so i came to see him to listen for a while.
and there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
i felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
i prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.

He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if i wasn't there.
but he just came to singing, singing clear and strong.

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song".
