#10 - Killing Me Softly - Top Ten Breakdowns of 2023

I’m starting a countdown today of my top 10 Breakdowns of 2023! Thank you all for weighing in on this. We’ll start with number 10, which is one of my favorite Breakdowns ever. It’s the story of how Lori Lieberman was denied writing credit on a song she greatly contributed to – “Killing me Softly.“ I had the chance to see Lori in concert at Carnegie Hall yesterday, and got to finally meet her in person after having interviewed her for my podcast, and staying in contact with her over the last few months. 

She truly is a lovely woman, and I was so honored to bring more attention to her story. She is more than the wrong that was done to her, and I have learned so much about taking ownership of your life and art from her example. I’m so proud to now call her “friend.”
