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".

Roberta Flack's hypnotizingly beautiful voice filled my childhood with warm, magical moments

[batmanforpresident]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and Flack is one of the greatest singers ever.
Other hits by her include:
"Feel Like Makin' Love", "Killing Me Softly", "Set The Night To Music", and two duets with Donny Hathaway, "Where Is The Love", "The Closer I Get To You."

One of the purest voices ever recorded.

Just beautiful. This was written by the British folk singer Ewan McColl for his wife, Peggy Seeger.

Oh, I havent heard this in decades! Back in the day, Miss Flack was SO popular! Thank you for this powerful trip down memory lane, Miss Sarah. Ahhhh, the 70's!
Excellent reaction.

She sings like an angel telling a wonderful song of complete love that most people would give anything to have

[edburch]

I read, somewhere, that the day Roberta went into the studio to record that song, her cat had died. She carried that emotional charge with her into the bluesiness she sang with.

[conniedean]

Thanks for seeing the live performance. It really shows how phenomenally her voice and her playing piano was.

[federalist]

After nearly 40 years, I still see my wife in that song. Happy tears.

I saw at the Montreal Festival, beautiful show. At the end of the show she showed graciousness and said since we are performing at a jazz festival, to me everyone gets to shine. She proceeded, this is my drummer and as expected a great drum solo. She continued down the line to finally the keyboardist who was surrounded by an array of keyboards. She said this is my musical arranger. Everyone expected a keyboard solo but this guy did a vocal scat singing solo with an incredible vocal range from the low registers to high, arching his back and looking up to the ceiling soaring with high vocals all the while playing the keyboards. Helluva show.

Roberta Flack was one of the best singers ever. It is so amusing sitting here crying and smiling at your reaction! Sweet soul, Sara. God bless.

[tapduff]

A beautiful reaction to a beautiful song sung by a beautiful woman!

[fredholland]

These were all the feelings when I met who would become my wife in 1978. It is rare when an artist captures so eloquently real love.

[BearClanMan]

Without high tech at her disposal, Miss Roberta's talent represents a time in music when giants walked the earth and she was one. Miss Roberta is from nearby Black Mountain, NC. I think of her every time I pass though her hometown.

[Owlzindabarn]

I've been loving this song for over 50 years. I'm glad you love it now too.

[keymack]

What a great moment, to watch Sarah reacting to this beautiful song as performed by the marvellous Roberta Flack!! Thank you so much,

[lorrainegunn]

So much emotion in Roberta Flack's beautiful voice !

[joycewalbert]

I loved the first version even better- it was slower. I wore that record OUT!!!! I got to see her perform one warm DC night on the lawn of the Capitol. Much sweeter, safer, kinder days. She was a national treasure. Before twerking there were these little things called love and mystery.

[maryannturton]

This is one of the finest love songs ever written, ever sung! Roberta Flack is a top tier vocalist, literal queen!👑🎙🎶😫🤩
