"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a 1957 folk song written by Ewan MacColl for his wife Peggy Seeger. It was popularized by Roberta Flack and became a breakout hit for the singer after it appeared in the film Play Misty for Me.

All Directions (1972)
Featured DAMON HARRIS' solo vocal on the slow-paced "The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)" (then a monster #1 hit for Roberta Flack).
RICHARD STREET was brought in as PAUL WILLIAMS replacement and DAMON was the 3rd Falsetto Tenor after EDDIE KENDRICKS and RICKY OWENS

eskay67 Roberta Flack did First Time Ever I Saw Your Face first. All you have to do is compare release dates of the records and see that.
