"Killing Me Softly With His Song" by Roberta Flack from her album Killing Me Softly; ranked number three in the Year-End Billboard Hot 100 in 1973, my birth year. This video informs that the song was a tribute to the musical work of Don McLean.
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despairOn the Billboard Hot 100, number two was Jim Croce's "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" and number four was Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." (Yes, millennials, there was such a song.)
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong
