The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Marcia Griffiths)
Song
Originally composed by Scottish folk balladeer Ewan MacColl and brought to global fame by Roberta Flack, this delicate love song became an anthem of regal poise in Marcia Griffiths' hands. Her crystalline, emotionally composed lead vocal glides effortlessly across a swaying roots rhythm, replacing solemn chamber folk with deep Jamaican warmth and effortless grace.
