      Certainly one can say this: one of the most beautiful songs ever written and recorded, interpreted flawlessly by the incredible Roberta Flack. Stunningly beautiful from the greatest decade in music, the 1970s.

    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.

    • @erict956
      @erict956 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Peggy was Pete Seeger's sister and when Ewen McColl wrote this for her she was his lover as he was already married to someone else. Kirsty McColl was one of his children from the first marriage.

    I have to say, I love beautiful voices and I kinda think I know them when I hear them. I've loved this song from the first time I heard this woman sing it. Whitney was great and I am not meaning to disrespect her vocals in any way!! But Ms. Roberta's voice was like butter and silk!! Her voice was as smooth as anyone's could ever be. She never pushed her voice, it was always just a natural flow of elegance and beauty.

    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.
