The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

[heg577]

Mummy Just turned 80 - this is one of her favourite songs; she says that she likes my version too...but Mummys always say that...

Suprisingly for some, perhaps, this song was actually written in 1957 and therefore eligible for entry into the 50's Fest. This version, though, is an older recording and therefore does not qualify.

Very smooth heg577 - I didn't know this was written in the Fifties. The arrangement and your vocal bring Scott Walker during his solo period to mind.

Lush!

[Hilary]

Oooh yes, very lovely!

[SE]

That's a fine vocal performance, excellent listen! !

[Oldrottenhead]

was written by kirsty mccoll's dad ewan i think.

unfortunately it's a fifties rock n roll fest so doesn't qualify.

a pity cos it's one of the best songs ever written.

roberta's version makes me go week at the knees.

fabulous version heg.

I just jumped in for a second as this is the last week at school, but I just had to click on this tune because it's one of the ballsiest covers I think I've seen here.

You just knocked it out of the park. Incredibly emotive singing and a lovely, understated orchestration... And I think it's so cool that you did it for your mom.

Great respect here.

Utterly gorgeous! You have such a superb voice... somewhere between Sinatra & Matt Monro. I could listen to this on repeat all day

[TPB]

Not many would even attempt this song and here you have knocked it out of the park just enough background instruments to set up your excellent vocal delivery
Well  done bravo
