You'd be surprised how difficult it is to sing the way she did. Perfect pitch and incredible breath control. She floated those notes and made it seem easy, especially the lower/quieter notes. Trust me - what she did was perfection.

Growing up, I learned that Dionne Warwick sounded good, but didn't sing correctly. I was told there was a difference in having a great voice and using it properly, and if I wanted to hear real singing to listen to Roberta Flack. I've been a fan since 1976, when I was 12!

True, true, true! Lost my beloved husband of 42 yrs recently, this is such an incredible song! We loved Roberta, Barry white, al green, all Motown sounds. Just touch the heart 💗, soul, gives me goosebumps. While the words brought tears 😭 to my eyes, I’m so grateful to have had my soulmate, the time we had together, thank you God. Although, you never get enough time. I’d give all I have, to have him back for a day. I’ll love you till I die, and love you for all eternity....when we will be reunited, ... and it will feel so good ... 🥰. Victoria

She’s a graduate of Howard University and has an amazing career. I believe she’s almost 80 years old today and although she’s slow down some, she does still perform❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This song was featured in the 1971 Clint Eastwood movie Play Misty For Me, it was recorded for her debut album First Take. There were going to redo the song for the movie, but Clint heard the song, and told Roberta not to touch it. The song was a big hit in 1972, spending 6 weeks at #1, and was top single of the year. It also won the Grammy Award for Record and Song of the Year in 1973. Incidentally Roberta won Record of the Year the next year 1974 with Killing Me Softly, which also won song of the year.

Her vocal restraint and control is truly beyond comparison! Not many singers have skills like that and rely heavily on the technology we have today to make them sound half as good, if that. Great reaction gentleman!!! ❤️

Wow. First time hearing this song... What a beautiful love song, sung by such an amazing talent. You can feel the loving, melancholy longing. Not the most relatable song for a couple of young guys. You'll need to come back to this one in a few years, especially if you ever find "the one".

I have always loved First Time , Jesse is my next fab. The Twinssaid it sounded churchy, from them I believe it was a sign of respect. Roberta Flack sang sang as though she truly and deeply knew about great love and great loss. To listen to her is receiving a gift straight to your heart.

This song came out in the early to mid 70s, I vaguely recall it as a child, but heard it through life, and in my 30s, and in a relationship, the depth of it really hit. I hope in years to come you both have someone like this song describes too. Her voice is like no other in purity and the lyrics are so simply stated, it's powerfully stunning. You can literally hear the longing in her voice hitting the high notes. Great music is forever.
