This song takes me back over 62 years ago when I first saw my lifetime love and my wife for more than 50 years.

Overwhelming . She has put her soul into this song, I don't think I have ever heard a more beautiful version.

[tbrollini]

Mary Travers was always my favorite singing "The First Time", until I heard my lovely Sissel sing it for, "The First Time"! She just does every song better than anyone else! Tom, her most ardent fan

[garymoore]

This song has been around for years and is considered a standard, but hearing Sissel, sing it, is like hearing for the first time. How beautiful.

Sissel has two huge assets: a beautiful voice and a gorgeous angelic face, a rare combination.

[oneyetiger]

Close your eyes and listen. Imagine an angelic voice on high with a gentle breath of air from wings moving in time with the music

[cjbud]

Sissel makes everyone else so insignificant. Everyone else is just human and Sissel is an angel, a true gift of God. Her voice is pure perfection and her beauty is beyond words. When Sissel sings it comes out how sharing herself with us is just something she has to do. You can tell how much she loves life and bringing joy to people.

Sissel is a voice with natural beauty to match. When she sings i believe her. Now like others at 83 yrs old i discover her. All the wonderful accolades she gets are not close . Her inner beauty shines . Just too marvellous.

[williamc.hensel]

Sissel, you have been a fountain of joy and beauty always. Music and life have burnished your heart - and your face - so beautifully - your music and your smile are a treasure and blessing. Joy, peace, safety and all good to you, and to everyone in your heart-circle. I thank God for you.

[fredford]

It is hard to express perfection, but Sissel has shown this in her outstanding rendition of this great song.
Her wonderful voice pared with her natural beauty makes beautiful music with her presence.

[johnrose]

Remarkable quality of Sissel is the high note which everyone struggle to reach, Sissel is able to sing comfortably. God has placed few Angles amoung us. She is one.

[mikereed]

Sissel’s interpretation of this song is a pure work of art and probably the most romantically beautiful I have ever heard.

[jxuan]

I recommend Sissel to every audiophile's collection. At night alone, you will be in HEAVEN when you listen to every detail of her voice from the above using the best speaker/headphone!

[rgraine]

Sung with such heartfelt beautiful Sissel. Thank you, from NZ.

[moviemonster]

I could listen to that voice all day and all night, simply beautiful.

[CaresinVerse]

When Sissel sings it, she owns it. Simple fact. My ears are officially happy. 💙🎶

[theidahospud]

I guess the 90 people who gave this a thumbs down never had this experience, and loved someone this deeply. How sad for them. I still miss my love---- and this song brings tears to my eyes.

[ebeegeebeefofeebee]

Just when I thought no one would do this song justice but Roberta Flack. I'm glad to see I was wrong.

[MultiBlue]

They say “to find love is to glimpse heaven” well dear lady your voice has taken me to the gates such wonderful music, incredible thank you 🙏

[rogerferrell]

When young & many years ago, I fell in love with a beautiful girl. This song was popular then and always reminds me of her. The majesty of your interpretation is that it brings back old memories and tears to my eyes. One cannot have been deeply in love and not cry at this song. Bless you Sissel!
