Charles Fox, the Songwriter who Wrote “Killing Me Softly” by Roberta Flack is on Cole & Noble!

February 12, 2011 by

[HTML1] Charles Fox is the wonderful songwriter who wrote the great romantic song “Killing Me Softly“ recorded by Roberta Flack! Just perfect for Valentines Day!

Americans have been inviting this Emmy and Grammy winning composer into their homes for years via their television sets. He’s created many of the greatest theme songs in TV history including Happy Days, Wonder Woman, The Love Boat, Love, American Style, as well as Monday Night Football and The Wide World of Sports, to name only a few. In fact, Charles is the only artist to have had 3 TV Songs in the top forty too!

But having composed for more than 100 motion picture and television scores, being twice nominated for Academy Awards, twice receiving Emmy and Grammy Awards just isn’t enough for Charles—Charles and Hal David, of the songwriting team Burt Bacharach and Hal David (“What The World Needs Now is Love“), have been commissioned to write the official Beverly Hills theme song called, “90210 Beverly Hills.”

And Charles is versatile—he’s also adept with the Classical genre as well. This past summer, Charles conducted a new work that he was commissioned to write by the Polish Government commemorating the 200th birthday of Chopin!

Happy Valentines Day!

About Al Cole

Al Cole, “Mr. Romance,” has lived some life, and has paid some dues. Al, an African-American man(don’t let the blue eyes fool ya!), is the product of a very loving, very special, romantic mother and father. From the earliest age Al related to that generous, loving, romantic spirit that was nurtured in him.

Al has also seen oppression. Oppression can sometimes breed sensitivity and empathy. This aspect of living has caused Al to relate to women even more sensitively and empathetically. A sensitivity and empathy that Al calls “Romance.” Creativity rounds out the character. Al is a born and professional entertainer. Through Al’s singing and songwriting, his CBS Radio broadcasting, and through the depth of his voice, Al has learned many ways to deliver his “Romance” message—seriously, comically, sensually and spiritually. He has carried the Romantic word out to women…and to men too. And in the carrying of that message, Al has found that women and men from all backgrounds have often asked for his advice and guidance concerning their familial and romantic relationships.

Al has been particularly blessed to have women confide some of their deepest personal and relationship secrets to him. These “secrets” coupled with his own experiences and intuitions have combined in his offering both women and men some of the most powerful, enlightening, and mind-challenging guidance that they say they have ever received.

Al has been told over and over again by his fans, fans who affectionately call themselves “Al Cole-holics”, that his reflections, as well as his romantic words, could fill a book. The reflections, the romance, and the “secrets” have now been revealed in Al’s new book Romance for Women…& For All Mankind!

Al is also the Host of Al Cole: People of Distinction on WomensRadio. Al Cole: PEOPLE Of DISTINCTION is a unique show giving distinctive public figures the chance to talk not only about their great public accomplishments, but also notable aspects of themselves as individuals...what motivates them to create the things they do, their special goals and interests, their insights into life itself!
