Lori Lieberman is an American singer-songwriter who accompanies herself on guitar and piano. She first came to public attention in the early 1970s with a series of albums on Capitol Records, one of which featured the first recording of "Killing Me Softly with His Song". Lieberman focused on her family life and took a hiatus until producer and audiophile, Joseph Cali, coaxed a reluctant Lieberman out of the shadows, and got her singing again.
A Thousand Dreams captured her performance, and was nominated for a Golden Note Award for the Best Original Recording of the Year, and featured performances by Amanda McBroom, Paulinho da Costa, Chuck Delmonico, The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, and Dean Parks. Two more CDs followed: Home Of Whispers and Gone Is The Girl. Rich Warren of WFMT Chicago named Home Of Whispers as his Number One most recommended CD of that year.
Of primary importance to Ms. Lieberman is the current resurgence of her music in the Netherlands. Having performed there in the ’70s, she was surprised to learn, via the internet, that her colleagues as well as her listeners were still there, welcoming her back after so long, supporting her through her sold out concert tours and multiple CD releases. She looks forward to performing there every year. “It’s as close as I can get to the feeling I had growing up in Geneva—the cold winters and changing seasons, and the best coffee in the world!” She has co-written with several of her favorite artists from the Lowlands: The 3JS, Stevie Ann, Niels Geusebroek, Yori Swart, Ruben Hein and Sandra van Nieuwland.
Seven CDs have followed on the record label, Drive On Records: Monterey, Gunmetal Sky, Bend Like Steel, Bricks Against The Glass, Lori Lieberman EP, Ready For the Storm, and her newest release, The Girl and the Cat.
