Not sure if it's the same person/people but the Audio Engineer for Stories and Scary Pockets is amazing
That’s so kind. Thank you!

@@justinglasco2552 You do an amazing job! Your work jumps through the headphones/speakers, and it's always a pleasure to experience. The balance, nuance, clarity, and overall mixing is just sublime [chef's kiss].
@@justinglasco2552 you’re killing it.. softly.. 🔥😂
I love that we're living in a world where an engineer gets recognized. Especially one as good as @Justin Glasco
I saw Roberta Flack mesmerize the audience at the Mississippi River Festival 1971. More than 50 years later, I stumbled upon this stirring rendition you make totally and timelessly relevant. Rozzi's performance is a vocal tour de force!
She's by far my favorite singer. I just love her style of singing, she can go slightly nasal when she wants, but she does it only shortly, than she lets little rasp in, she can sing clear... anything she wants, but every little thing she does is in service of the song .
I could just close my eyes and enjoy. Unperfect perfection.
She has some videos of her singing in her car and they're fire
@@daisyjane6478 Watching her work her hands in this vid makes the idea of here singing while driving slightly terrifying.
This brings me right back to the night, sometime in the mid-70s, when I was an usherette at the Queen E Playhouse in Vancouver, and got to see Roberta Flack perform this live. I sat on the steps of the upper balcony, mesmerized, tears rolling down my cheeks. Still can't believe I got paid to be overwhelmed by emotion. And this version gives me shivers!
I swear some of the best musical performances of all time comes from this channel. You can just tell that everyone on the team absolutely loves what they do.
❤️❤️❤️

Extremely difficult cover. Rozzi nailed it.
One of the most underrated 90s songs
Actually this is a 70s song by Roberta Flack.
@@iFoneVids Umm, actually.... "Killing Me Softly with His Song" is a song composed by Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimbel. The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971.
@@Customerbuilder I understand but I know that Roberta made it famous. But thank you for the info. 👍🏼
@@iFoneVids Roberta Flack's version is stil the best but there are a couple other very good version. This comes closest to Roberta's version which is both good and bad, I prefer Roberta's version but this was a great tribute and showcases a very skilled singer. I think she could have made it her own more clearly.
No doubt. Lauryn Hill made this a radio staple & mass favorite of the 90's...
Probably the loveliest rendition of Lenard Cohen’s piece.
Just say’in.
Wow. wow. wow. Just putting aside for a second the JAW dropping performance from Rozzi. Ryan! Again with a ridicules guitar tone? what!? like that baritone acoustic bass sound. You've got me scratching my head going "how? what? ooo sooo goooood"
Old vintagey EQ? but somehow gets the old speaker rattle with the bass notes. rubber bridge and tail piece? on a... semi hollow les paul jr rhythm? what! Kudos to you and your journey in sound crafting. What a juicy soft tone for my ears to sink into.
What's not to LOVE, it's Rozzi after all. Just heard she's opening for Joss Stone on several dates of the current tour. Now that would be ... a concert experience!
Hermosa versión. Muy sofisticada .excelente
start of the song. it has little distortions, fade, which adds a layer of oldness. a tottaly diffrent vibe. love it.
It’s rare that a voice just grabs me and won’t let go. I listened to this twice then went on Spotify to hear some more. This isn’t my kind of music - not my generation - and yet she’s taken this classic from ages ago and made it her own in a very special way.
Plus the arrangement and musicians are fantastic.
Something magical, Rozzi, about the way you sing with your hands as much as with your voice. It’s as though the music wants to come through every pore, as though you’re literally handing it to your listener. Just wonderful.
well said Dave!
She feel it.. Like Jessie J
You can mute the music and still feel it
I always stop whatever I am doing to listen to Rozzi. I love you Rozzi from Brazil.
Just like me. ;-)
Wow, this performance is extremely emotional.
Always good to see Rozzi make an appearance! Great version of this song!
Absolutely LOVED this!! Beautifully covered! 💜💜💜
What a song. It’s such a story that allows the artist to bring us emotion, feeling, sadness, angst. Rozzi delivers. She immerses herself into the song so completely. 😊
If this didn't floor you, you're broken. What a killer performance!!
I have heard this song so many times and being covered terrible. But this one wow, wow, wow, love the tone of her voice! Beautiful!
Wow that was amazingly good
Love what you did with the stringed instruments. Such a neat version of this classic song.
Holy crap Rozzi! This is so amazing! Your voice is so awesome!
I have not been so moved by this song since Miss Flack so beautifully sang it. I'm not sure if even she should perhaps move over. Tear inducing. Wonderful. Not enough words. Thank you.
That little flutter at 2:14...🤩
Gorgeous and soulful. Love it. Fantastic mix between the guitar and drums. It just has a burnished sound to it that fits the vocals perfectly.
Amazing! No words to describe my feelings hearing this cover.
Congratulations!
This song + Rozzi = I'm speechless ❤️
You can't go wrong with Rozzi. She brings it.
So many great nuances capturing the Roberta Flack vibe!
That sound at 2:57 is crazy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
her voice - her soul
"Fugess" sounds like a Chinese mock-Swiss watch-brand. ;-) Apart from that this is beautiful.
Fortunately, the Fugees did neither sound Chinese nor Swiss and for sure not like a watch 🤣
@@dr.s. You are aware that the person was talking about the typo in the video's title?
@@DaveDEF82 This will get very mysterious, now that the typo's gone. ;-)
@@JochenVogel This will get even more mysterious by me stating: Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm...;-)
@@DaveDEF82 You know Your German, compliments! I am definitely not an early bird, though.
Vocals are perfection
Such a beautiful arrangement and cover. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rozzi is incredible such majestic voice
The Queen of ,The Emotions!
Fugees. Lol. I know. I know. It’s for the algorithm. But sad.
Amazing job on this. Spectacular vocals
Great rendition of a 70's classic! Well done all.
Wow,just took me back to early 70's,Roberta Flack,awesome job,keep going!!!❤
that "telling my whole life" is beautiful!
A beautiful version of one of my favourites.
You let it breath...beautiful.
It's always special when you have Rozzi over.
The musicians🔥. And Rozzi🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a great arrangement 😍
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
And he just kept on 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
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
He was strumming my pain
Yeah, he was singing my life
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
Wow! That's awesome: the voice, guitars, arrangement, sound engineering... everything... Thank you, guys, for the goosebumps!
A beautiful song sung beautifully by a beautiful woman.

Dear Lord, that was beautiful.

The song has an interested history (source Wikipedia): ""Killing Me Softly with His Song" is a song composed by Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimbel. The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971. Denied writing credit by Fox and Gimbel, Lieberman released her version of the song in 1972, but it did not chart." and "After decades of confirming Lieberman's contribution, Fox and Gimbel changed their story about the song's origins to downplay her role. Gimbel threatened McLean with a lawsuit in 2008, demanding he remove from his website an assertion that McLean was the inspiration for "Killing Me Softly," but McLean responded by showing Gimbel his own words confirming the inspiration, published in 1973."
It's a great song, and this cover is fantastic.
So sad that only few people know this. I like Lori's original very much.
What a beautiful voice.
Impressive vocal control.
Can't get any better, period. Thanks. ❤️
Killing me softly is my fav song since i was a teenager. It was this and Backstreet boys, ahaha.. Here i absolutely loved the...softer line.
Wow it is really good
