The Fugees released this single in the summer of 1996. I was seven years old, and "Killing Me Softly" was literally all anyone listened at Camp Renegade. That summer is forever remembered as the summer of Tradewind Parks, plastic lanyards, buying soda just to shake them up and spray at each other, and this song. Lauryn Hill sings it beautifully, and watching the video on Youtube reminds me of how it got called in every five minutes on The Box. I tell you, I don't subscribe to that whole "90s generation is the best and today sux!!!" mentality many kids my age are checked in to, but goddamn, did that period of time produce some great music.
