GUEST,Lynn Origins: First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (71* d) RE: Origins: First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 25 Feb 12


Yes it has been copied and pasted and I am trying to find this person Lance Sandberg since he supposedly is in Texas and is a Biology Professor. I am in Texas and I will not hesitate to pick up the phone to call him. I just wanted some info on whether or not anyone else had heard this and might have more means to pursue than me. I am all for giving credit where credit is due.

The message containing the quote from MacColl's autobiography.. do you not find this comment somehwat interesting?.. "[1989:] It is ironic, considering MacColl's history, that the one song for which he is best known is not political at all, but a love song, and that it became a hit not for him, or Peggy Seeger, but for Roberta Flack. [It] was written "in eight or nine minutes" in 1956 while MacColl, in London, was phoning Peggy Seeger in Los Angeles. Peggy sang it in public for the first time that same evening. In 1972 that same song caused a sensation when Flack's version was used in the soundtrack of the Clint Eastwood film 'Play Misty For Me'."
