The song became a massive international hit, topping charts in over 20 countries, including the U.S. Top 40 and the U.K., where it was the best-selling single of 1996. It remains one of the best-selling singles in the U.K., with 1.36 million copies sold, and was certified 3Γ Platinum in the U.S. The Fugeesβ version sampled A Tribe Called Questβs "Bonita Applebum" and a riff from "Memory Band" by Rotary Connection. The track won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, and its music video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best R&B Video. Rolling Stone ranked it among the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2020. Originally, the Fugees planned to modify the lyrics to be anti-drugs and anti-poverty, but the songwriters Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox rejected this. It was also the last track the group recorded for The Score, with Pras suggesting the cover and adding a reggae-influenced bass drop. βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ πΆ Lyrics Full lyrics are available in the pinned comment below π βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ π¬ Join the Conversation Which Fugees song do you love playing on guitar, and whatβs your favorite riff or vocal part? βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ π₯ Hashtags #KillingMeSoftly #Fugees #GuitarPlayAlong #BeginnerGuitar #GuitarChords #StrummingPatterns #NoCapo #EasyGuitarSongs #GuitarTabs #ChordsAndLyrics #HowToPlayGuitar #GuitarLesson #LearnGuitar #AcousticGuitar #PlanetGuitar #GuitarWithLyrics #GuitarCover #RNBGuitar #SoulGuitar #EasyPlayAlong #GuitarBeginners #GuitarForBeginners #90sMusic #FugeesGuitar #GuitarTutorial #ClassicHitsGuitar #GuitarPractice
