My absolute favorite version of this song. She had such a beautiful voice.

This is without a doubt the most beautiful song and recording EVER.

She had such a interesting life and career , I watched her documentary it was really good ! I've loved her since I was 10 years old and I'm 61 now ! Her music was the soundtrack of the seventies !

No one has surpassed Roberta Flack's cover of this song. many people had never even heard the song before she recorded it. one of my all time solo singers along with Ella Fitzgerald Etta James and of course Sam Cooke , Jerry Butler, Brook Benton and jackie Wilson..Great song to react to..

This song gives me goosebumps, every time hearing it. 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️

Absolute Perfection.... There are not enough words to describe this song. The song as well as the singer absolutely Beautiful

Written back in 1957 by Scottish singer/songwriter Ewan Maccoll for Peggy Seeger. A relative of the greatest Folk Rocker Pete Seeger. The Roberta Flack version was used in the 1971Clint Eastwood movie "Play Misty For Me." Her rendition of the song captured a worldwide audience and made the song one of the greatest loved ballads ever.

Just Beautiful

Love, Love, Love Roberta Flack

Back in the 70's, I had friends who had someone sing this song at their wedding. Almost 50 years later, they're still married.

You don't have to wait to listen what an angel sounds in heaven!

..."Class of 76"...Roberta Flack was one of my "favorites" in my collection of 33Lp's reserved specially for candlelight and wine....now a married man of 65 my wife and I still listen to Roberta in the same way...many many great ones try...Killing me Softly...Thx!

Such a classy lady with a beautiful voice

I grew up on this song. One of the best voices ever. Never gets old.

Roberta is the best at this song also the original , such a class act. Love her. ❤️🤗🙏

A perfectly painted picture using the words of love ❤

This beautiful song was Billboard's number one song of 1972, which was the year my parents got married. They are still married to this day. Shawn and Mel, I wish you many more happy years together.

This came out my 1st year of high-school and I have to say ... The First Time I Ever Heard This Song ... I knew nothing could touch it and still can't. My fav love song of all time then and still.

The majestic power of great music.

So beautiful it makes me cry with a smile on my face

Love Roberta Flack !!

Can never go wrong with Roberta...A great singer and a class act...I`ve been following her since the early 70`s.

the only lady to capture it's beauty fully, roberta flack, always a delight to listen to, ❤

Roberta’s first album First Take is a masterpiece as well as her second Chapter 2. Her duets especially with Donny Hathaway are classics. I have followed her ever since Les McCann introduced her (@1969).

Oh yes, such a beautiful love song ❤

Is there anything more sensual than Roberta Flack singing her signature love song? I was welling in tears.

Absolutely beautiful

The incomparable ms Roberta Flack..just magical ❤❤❤

She had such a beautiful voice. I was in High School then.

The perfect love song...the perfect voice ❤

One of those videos I've probably watched 30 times. Absolutely loved your reactions

One of the most beautiful songs ever written and nobody sings it like Roberta Flack.

You two beautiful people are definitely my couples goal ❤

I first heard this song while I as driving. After the first 30 seconds, I had to pull over and just listened. Amazing song, amazing composer, amazing singer.

"Do one thing and do it well". ~Roberta Flack

So much emotion and control in her voice.

Beautiful cover indeed. My favourite version. It was written by a Scottish folk singer 15 years earlier for an American folk singer, though he was married to someone else at the time of writing. However, those two, Ewan and Peggy, did eventually marry each other in the 70's. ❤

Adorable couple...Roberta is an amazing musician and singer. Mesmorising...My Love. PEACE.☝️🤓

Probably the most romantic song.

Ethereal voice and an incredibly beautiful song.

the guy who wrote this gorgeous song lived next door to my great aunt in salford england his name was ewan mcoll he also wrote dirty old town about the place where i live thankyou for this roberta flack did an amazing job🇬🇧❤️

A fantastic song , outstanding voice ......Totally surprised to find out that her song .' Killing Me Softly " , was in tribute to hearing Don McLean , he of " American Pie , and I believe , Vincent .

Takes me back to my first relationship.....the most beautiful song and performance ever.

Such an intelligent performer and a wonderful song!💖

Top tune, beautiful song.

I remember this from Jr. High School, this is the best version of this song. You guys are so cute!

When I first heard this song, I started to cry. It moves you....💚💚

Such a beautiful song ❤️

Always brings a tear to my eyes.

Keep Roberta in your prayers. She was diagnosed with Lou Gerigh disease.I heard about it a few months back...

First heard this song in the early '60s - the Chad Mitchell Trio (later John Denver was in that group) - still have the record. Roberta Flack's is the best version.

Wow. Beautiful. Love the reaction... ❤

Get into more Roberta Flack, everything she did is good!

I loved this song back then and have it on my playlist! Beautiful song beautiful voice

Her voice is incomparable, and the way she is singing is very hard.

Making me feel love again for the first time. Nobody but Roberta. Ironically my first ex wife just called to say hello. It's been 45 years,, two children but we do that.

One of the most beautiful love ballads ever sung! I have always loved this song!

Amazing song and the voice of an angel.

Beautiful song and singer!

An absolute beautiful song . I had my very first kiss as this song played on the radio way back in the day . We never forget that first love . Thank you so much for reacting to it & bringing back that teenage feeling of love .

The world is really missing beautiful music like this !!!!

The most beautiful song! And you two radiate that wonderful feeling whenever I watch you. Thank you!

Notice how she stays within the range of her normal voice? F'n incredible. Love RF!

An absolutely beautiful voice!

Her voice was the first time I had heard this song No one can sing it like this beautiful soul. Australia 💕 Christina

So happy for you guys. Love will save the world.

The most beautiful love song. Roberta Flack my favorite. Her and Barbra Streisand. They could make you cry sometimes.

The most beautiful and romantic song, I still listen to it often ❤

It is so (need adjectives)… refreshing… cute… sweet… poignant… moving… (some work escapes me) to say how much I appreciate that you spun off the lyrics to itemize all of you “first times”… and your love is so much fun to watch on this channel… very appreciate you both!

Flawless live performance! Bravo!

Roberta Flack has such a beautiful voice. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was used in the 1971 Clint Eastwood film "Play Misty For Me". Roberta had a lot of great hits in the 70's such as "Killing Me Softly With His Song", "Feel Like Makin' Love" & some great duets with Donny Hathaway "Where Is The Love" & "The Closer I Get To You".

I've always loved this song!

Roberta never fails to thrill & fill my eyes with nostalgic tears. I am reminded of my youngest maternal uncle showing me his new stereo setup & he played this song. He & my aunt had just moved into a new house & I was there for a housewarming party with all the cousins & other family who lived nearby. He then let me pick other music to play for the party on his new stereo & it made me feel so special. This song will forever be burned into my memory because of that day.

She is definitely my love my favorite female voice! Just so serene!❤❤❤❤

Lovely voice. Lovely woman. Amazing talent. Greatness!

Her voice is absolutely captivating, it doesn't get much better than this , bravo!

This song is so special, her voice and the beautiful music, everything. It’s so simplistic yet it’s so powerful.

I love this song! My Mother used to sing this to us when my brothers and I were kids. My Mom has that same kind of beautiful voice. Mellow, smooth, yet powerful.

Most beautiful love song ever, written by the wonderful Scottish poet Euan McColl (father of Kirsty McColl), and sung beautifully by Roberta Flack.

The first time... ever I heard this song, I was completely captivated by both the song and Roberta Flack's singing ability. Just amazing. Cheers.

So glad u finally got to hear this beautiful song! There are sooooo many great ones you haven’t yet heard

That is beauty and talent!

One of my mother's favorite vocalists in the '70s! Even though I was the rebellious, rock and roll teenager, beautiful sounds like these penetrated my heart thanks to my beautiful mother! RIP You two are so wonderful! Thank you for sharing your loving souls.

Roberta Flack, just a beautiful artist!

That was her first Grammy, it was a huge hit for her, her version was the #1 & used in a few movies, most beautiful love song ever written

When people give the list of the greatest legendary singers most of them forget to add Roberta Flack to them, her music was very influential in the sound of Soul, R&B and pop. Her music will always be considered song of the greatest songs in music history.

I love this live version. It's not as slow templed as the studio version. Simply beautiful. She was certainly underrated.

Perfection. I was 11 yo and I loved this song the moment I heard it 💖

I was maybe 11 when this came out. My sister played it, and I was mesmerized. Since then, Roberta Flack has been my standard for beauty, grace, and style. There were many greats, but she affected me like no other. As a young white boy, that might have seemed odd, but no one compared. Thanks for bringing a big smile to my face.

Beautiful song, legendary songstress, and what an amazing relationship you two seem to have. Good for you! Check out "Killing Me Softly" by Roberta next. And do the studio version please. Just a better production.

This is so refreshing I needed this.

She melts me to this day... her voice is so beautiful, such emotion. When love songs were real love songs. The 60's and 70's were the best for music.

So beautiful. Good pick! ✌

Great song, and so sweet how much you two love each other❤❤

Notice she's playing the piano at the same time. She was a pure talent. Her gorgeous voice matched her gorgeous visage. Just love her.

wow just wow

I love this song. Absolutely beautiful.

To me,the most beautiully sang love song to date.What a voice!❤

Always LOVED this! Always will. Wedding song!☺️. 💖💙

This is one of the greatest musical performances ever filmed.
