Title: First Time Ever I saw your face.
Post by: Groundy on October 22, 2015, 11:36:33 PM
This is a Roberta Flack number I used to do quite a lot, when I had a voice, each time I try it now it seems to get harder to do, So heres my attempt, Yamaha keyboard, Guitar,Mixcraft,
Thanks for listening.....

What a beautiful song.

It felt like you were singing it to me. In a non-awkward lovely way  :)

Yes, beautiful song - first recorded in the late 50s, I believe, though I don't recall by whom - just might cover this one myself.. :-\

I can tell that you like this song.  You bring a lot to your interpretation.  Well done.

This is one of those songs that has come in and out of my awareness for so long.  I'd never thought of trying to sing it until now.  Thanks for the inspiration.

As I get older, I appreciate sappy lyrics more and more. You did this really well. There is some really nice vocal timing/phrasing in this.
