On Desert Island Discs this morning actor Richard Wilson (Victor Meldrew) claimed that The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is a Scottish song?! The song was of course written by James Henry Miller (Ewan MacColl) who was from Scottish parents and born in Salford where he spent a good deal of his early life before eventually moving to London, where he died. The song was written for an American lady, Peggy Seeger, for a show she was involved in in America. It became internationally known following its recording by Roberta Flack, another American lady. Lots of reasons then to claim the song is Scottish!
