Roberta Flack Was The First Woman to Go Back to Back #1 Songs of The Years in 1972 With "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and 1973 With "Killing Me Softly"! And, Both Songs Were Back to Back Grammy Records and Songs of The Year in 73 and 74!!!

This is the best version of this song. Roberta has a beautiful voice.

I know this has been covered by others, but none of them can beat Roberta Flack. This one is the best! Her voice is so beautiful. Inspired by Don McLean!

Hi! Roberta Flacks song “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” is also a MUST!🙂🩶👍✌️

@SG-js2qn Ай бұрын

This song is such a classic! Much loved. Be sure to hit "Where is the Love" (1972), "Feel Like Making Love" (1974), and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (1969). Dionne Warwick is not quite the same, but in the progressing timeline somewhat similar. She had 60s mainstream hits like "What the World Needs Now is Love" (1965, by Burt Bacharach), "I Say A Little Prayer" (1967, Bacharach), "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" (1968, Bacharach), "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (1969, Bacharach), and "Then Came You" (1974, with the Spinners).

Her voice is so haunting and angelic at the same time.

Just a magnificent vocal artist! She was a goddess of the 70 s ,The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is also gorgeous . The Fugees did a great remix of this song.

beautiful lyrics - and this song has been sampled multiple times by contemporary musicians - good slow dancing song.

This was my favorite song when it came out. Happy to see just HOW MUCH you loved it too, Ace. But I'm not surprised....you have outstanding taste!. Thanks for bringing back great memories. 🤩

Roberta Flack had alot of good songs but two of my favorites are "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and this song. This was a very popular song in the 70's.

@bodato5760 Ай бұрын

One of the best Love songs ❤️

@marshabailey1121 Ай бұрын

This song was written by Laurie Lieberman based on her reaction to attending a Don McLean concert. I heard Don back in the day and he is magical live. His biggest hit was American Pie. But,yes, the Fugies covered this song.

This was a huge hit when I was a little kid and it is one of the few albums my parents bought for themselves in the 70s. Most of their stuff was from the late 50s and early 60s. It wasn't a double album but it had a double sleeve so it opened up like a double album which just gives you that much more real estate to do something cool with. And when you folded it out you had this long photo of her posing on the black concert grand piano in her black dress. Definitely a slow dance song 😊😊

You really need to listen to "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Ms. Flack. One of the most beautiful love songs you'll ever hear!

Oh, such a very specific family memory of this. The later club music is okay, but this is such artistic gold its shine will never lose its luster.

She probably sang her own backups on the recording here.

@susanpoyant9954 Ай бұрын

You should give a listen to the 70's group TAVARES. Their lead singer recently passed away. Start off with "Heaven Must be Missing an Angel".

Phrasing is the term for what you were describing about word pacing and placement. Please do the live version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" next.

Is about Don Mclean ..... Original by Lori Lieberman

Brilliant song, said to be inspired by hearing Don McLean.

I think what you're attempting to describe is what musicians call phrasing.
