The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Johnny Mathis

This is from the 1972 album of the same title. I read about the song and if the story is true, it makes it even more romantic. I read that it was written by a Scottish man named, Ewan MacColl for his wife and then, recorded about 10 years later. What a lovely man to see that beauty in his wife. What a perfect rendition by Johnny Mathis. No one else could bring this much soul into any song.

How did I ever miss this one? As much as I love Johnny, I don't recall hearing his version of this most moving, heart warming love song. I do remember, though, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" JB, and we've been married for 52 years this month. Thank you, ReadMeReadYou.... A perfect wedding anniversary gift....

@Hermeterec You sir/madame are a gifted wordsmith who has captured the essence of the great man. Honey will never be the same,maybe now known as spreading 'johnny' on your toast kids'!

It was actually written for his lover while he had a wife. Later he divorced and married his lover.

from Jose', the Hermeterec......Roberta Flack did a heart-breakingly beautiful rendition of this incrdibly beautiful song, but Johnny Mathis has not now, nor has he ever had any equal. He is the greatest popular music singer of all time. His voice is like warm honey sifting slowly and sweetly through the comb. His control and phraseology are impossible to equal, he is touched by God.

This song was written by a lad from Salford (my home town).... Ewan Macoll, which is next to Manchester UK, nothing AT ALL to do with Scotland!!!!, his daughter also had a couple of hits in the UK - Kirsty Macoll!, consider yourself educated!, my favorite version is Roberta Flack's, but that said ...this is beautiful...

Play Misty for me?? Roberta Flack was the first time I ever heard this song, however Johnny is doing a great job of it!
