In 1996, the Fugees released their cover of “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” a song that Roberta Flack made famous in 1973. It became the Fugees’ biggest-ever hit, and it rocketed Ms. Lauryn Hill, who sang that whole cover, to stardom. Flack herself joined the Fugees when they performed at the VMAs. Last month, Roberta Flack passed away at the age of 88, and Hill shared a eulogy. On Monday, Hill and her former Fugees bandmate Wyclef Jean were unexpected guests at Flack’s memorial service at Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church, and they gave a musical tribute.
