Lodo's Comments: Of all the gals out there, I like Lalah's tone the best. Plush! We need another cover of Killing Me Softly about as bad as we need another cover of Landslide or Big Yellow Taxi; but based on Lalah's relationship to Roberta Flack (as well as the fact that she just flat-out owns this tune!), I think there should be an unwritten agreement that this is her song.
