Roberta Flack:

Killing Me Softly:(1973)

I like about half to two thirds of this record. It gets a little too snoozy, and too jazzy for my tastes. There was that trend in the seventies toward Jazz-Soul that was extremely hit or miss for me. This album sold a lot of records at the time, good for Roberta, and then the title song sold a lot of records for the Fugees in 1996. Arguably, Killing Me Softly is the strongest track on this album, and When You Smile is the silliest.
