As part of The Fugees, singer-songwriter Lauryn Hill rose to prominence in the mid-90s on the wings of the group’s take on Roberta Flack‘s classic ‘Killing Me Softly‘ – a Hip-Hop-inspired rendition that’s set in stone as one of the genre’s most beloved singles of all time.

A staple in her live shows beyond the Rap trio’s break up, Hill has been no stranger for paying tribute to the legendary soulstress for the impact ‘Softly’ has had on her career over the last 30 years – a salute that continued even this week in light of reports of Roberta’s death.

Just a day after megastars like Oprah Winfrey, Jamie Foxx, Toni Braxton, Spike Lee, Viola Davis, Chaka Khan, Kelly Rowland, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, and more took to social media to bid Flack a final farewell, Lauryn did the same with a touching tribute lifted to her official Instagram handle.

Look inside to see her heartwarming words.
