Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
Oh right I knew there was something else, from the song bag of St. Ewan McColl.
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is a 1957 folk song written by for Peggy Seeger, who was later to become his wife
Is it now? Does in meet the 1954 criteria?
To me it's always been a somewhat insipid pop tune, identified with that wonderful decade, the seventies
