Just spotted that on BBC4 at 9pm tonight there's a documentary "Killing Me Softly: The Roberta Flack Story".

Thanks for the heads up Sean, I'll record it cos I'm off out. Friday night music docs are great on BBC4 - public broadcasting at its best. The ones on Muscle Shoals and Bobby Bland were freakin excellent!

Have a great night! Yes absolutely agree they show some really good stuff, obviously not all Soul but I suspect a lot of what I don't watch or record is much appreciated by people into different music as well.

Didn't know she recorded 'Compared to What', nor that it was written by Gene McDaniels.

Fascinating programme, top marks to BBC4. Anyone who's taped it is in for a treat.

Dave

My Pal Niamh O'Donnell produced this documentary for Alley Cats, a very talented production company out of Derry Northern Ireland for the BBC.

Their work on Foyle Side Rescue and The Undertones was first class also.

Great documentary n good work Niamho!
