The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face…..

Francoise Hardy. My French teacher, back in the 60’s, had a soft spot for her and often mentioned her in our French lessons!

If you play ‘Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles’ on You Tube, you can see why.

She just looks so beautiful, cool, elegant, just so French! And so 60’s.

The actual day was a Wed and it was 3rd march

My actual day was 19th November 1975, it was a Friday, a frosty, starry night. 💕 My song was Nat King Cole singing, When I fall in love. DH bought me his greatest hits that first Christmas together.

I had a Saturday job in the Co-op department store boutique and I played the Roberta Flack song over and over again! I drove my colleagues mad!

Gosh we often play it, such a gorgeous piece, we have Roberta’s version on our Spotify mix.
Also very fond memories of Francoise Hardy. I had all her LPs but have not heard any of her songs in ages. I have just now played my favourite ‘Le Premier Bonheur du Jour’ on YouTube. So simple and melodic compared to today’s music. Such lovely reminders of youthful times.

Yes I do agree that it is a lovely romantic song. Another song which I like but makes me wonder is nat king Cole singing," if I had to choose just one day ". Nostalgic but I would pick the first time my husband kissed me

Beautiful song, brings back special memories, I didn't realise Roberta was still with us !

It's so beautiful it makes me sad.

Lovely music. Takes me back to 72 - a wonderful year for me!

I love that song too. Reminds me of a lost love. ♥️

You can’t forget the film when you hear it, sooo good.

Pascal30 that is a favourite of mine, it reminds me of my lovely sister.

Oh yes Calendargirl I love that song and agree with your description of how it makes you feel. Gives me goosebumps

It all seems such a long time ago!

My very favourite song

The song that reminds me of the early 70's also is Francoise Hardy 'All over the world'

It’s a hauntingly beautiful song

i don't like the Peggy Seegar version, I love the Luke Evans and Roberta Flack versions andthey really make me tear up with old memories..

It's a beautifu song

Oh yes a beautiful song, we got married in 1971 but remember playing it many times in the car during those romantic first years of marriage. One of my late DH’s favourites all his life .

DH and I married in 1971 too SusieB50. Ewan McColl's beautiful song captures exactly the way I felt the first time I saw DH.... as does John Denver's "You Fill up my Senses" and OMG:.... Eddie Readers' "Jamie" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt2nbZxNOOM (The Lyrics are by Rabbie Burns). Ewan tended to favour a swifter pace which I remain unsure about.... We have been so lucky SusieB50 to have found someone who inspires such feeling in us..... DH's health has been deteriorating recently so I must get on with the Playlist of 'our songs' from our 56 years together....

The song was written by Ewan McColl for Peggy Seeger in 1957 and I think Mary Travis really brings out the folk origin. It is on YouTube.

Tender and poignant lyrics. That song means a great deal to me.

Oh yes, one of my favourites and there's nothing daft about the way it makes you feel Calendargirl .

A very poignant love song. I have always loved it.

Beautiful song. I love the Mary Travis (of Peter, Paul and Mary) version.
