Peter, Paul & Mary - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

[@metahummel1145]

That song, always, makes me cry as that was, exactly, how I felt the first time I met my husband to be. My roommate insisted I meet her fiance's best buddy who had just arrived back from two years in Australia having been playing there & just returned to the states. I fought tooth & nail with my roommate that I did not do blind dates, but, when I met him the 1st time & saw his smile, I knew he was the one. I told him I was going to marry him on our 3rd date, I think. We married, many happy years together & he died 7 yrs. ago & I miss him, terribly. This song is the most beautiful song I have ever heard & does, indeed, stir up those wonderful memories.

What a beautiful love story, Meta! And I'm so sorry that you lost your husband -- it can be such a tough journey, and hopefully those wonderful memories of your life keep a glow in your heart now.

In 1966 I was 15 years old and working as an usher at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City Mo. Peter Paul and Mary were playing a concert and my best friend and I were asked to take soft drinks to their dressing room before the show. When we entered the room to set the tray of drinks down PP&M were playing & singing a song, I assume they were warming up before the performance. Mary was sitting facing the door. She looked at me and smiled. What a beautiful lady she was!

Peter Paul and Mary had such great harmonies. To bad such music is not done today.

[@19GTO67]

I thank my Mom for introducing me to this music. It is now a part of me.

[@andrewwhite7188]

Mary was just so beautiful inside and out!!

[@ThePlataf]

I had the privilege of seeing PPM in concert many Years ago and they were unbelievably magical.

[@potdog1000]

I am jealous lol

[@ThePlataf]

@@potdog1000 If it makes you feel better, I can truthfully add that they sounded every bit as good as their records, so just play your faves, close your eyes, and visualise their presence.

[@katbowl9971]

I got to see them, too. Many years ago. Such a great concert.

[@kevinrussell6530]

@@katbowl9971 I also saw PP&M years ago in concert, and I didn't go to many concerts. I saw them in the old Island Garden in West Hempstead NY in '67 or '68. It was heaven! Halfway thru at intermission I thought it was over, but my old friend who I was with said no, it's only half over! Wow... more heaven, I thought!

[@katbowl9971]

@@kevinrussell6530 That's great! Lots of cool memories.

[@johannammckenna]

One of the most beautiful songs and the best version

[@fieldsofbliss]

The best version, without doubt, is Roberta Flack's 1969..

[@rebeccavaughan3615]

Best Folk Singers ever!! My favorite ! 🎶😊

Hello,how are you doing?

[@emmacharles8829]

I dedicate this song to a beautiful man an Australian legend James Douglas this reminds me of the first time we met.Yours fondly Emma Charles.Thankyou

[@victorlapides]

This is a revelation. I thought it was Flack's song and only Flack, until now. You never know 'til you know. Like your clip of Bobby Darin with Once Upon a Time at the London Palladium. A lot of geezers (like myself) can call that gem for what it was - up there with the greatest of all recorded songs. No lie, if you ask me now. That recording is enshrined in me now. I'll always revisit it. Thanks.

Timeless, simply amazing and oh so beautiful! Loved this trio!❤️❤️❤️

What a wonderful trio, harmony is just amazing. We won't see there like again.

[@virgilbeckley3756]

the greatest trio of all time no one even close

[@chev39rsh]

They were the sounds of my youth as my mother played guitar and sang all their songs and my cousins came up from Newton ma and played on holidays. Folk music was the thing back then and Mom played beautiful guitar and sang wonderful. Gosh I cherish those memories.

[@thombradley9766]

It was May 4 1990 @ 5:30 PM near Seattle Wa. when I first saw you.You were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Today you are gone for now. Rest in peace,Emi A Young ( 1971-2013), " beautiful one".

[@janhammer39]

Thanks Thom for checking in with us.

[@peterderiashnyj1091]

When this song came out on a PP & M album, my friend and I "back engineered" it and deduced all the guitar chords and the actual guitar parts and then wrote down the harmonies for each voice for the three verses. When it came to actually doing the song it was so beautiful and emotional I would often get a lump in my throat singing the words. I still have all that in my archives and I still love this song. Such a sensitive rendition.

[@janhammer39]

Thanks Peter for sharing your experience with this song.

[@danielpincus221]

Paul is playing the bass line?

[@richardthiele1377]

Mary, I love your voice, your passion, and your hair. Rest in peace, beautiful lady.

[@lorieaustin3412]

I saw Peter, Paul, & Mary in concert a few times, and I was lucky enough to see what turned out to be the last concert they ever gave, not long before Mary Travers passed away. Always loved them.

[@davidmoore2325]

Hello,how are you doing?

[@WayneMona1]

Even as a little kid I always had a crush on Mary. Almost 70 and still do.

[@YewtBoot]

Ditto, my friend.

[@hobieone60]

This takes me back to the night I fell in love with my former wife. After the all the loves of my life, she's still the one. Sadly, it ended after 2o years. I miss her now at 75 years old.

[@mariestewart3022]

So sad my heart goes out for you l hope you will be okay God bless you ❤

Look after your self that wants in portent👍

[@heatherkeegan689]

There are some people we miss forever. Keep well

[@karenbourke1783]

How sad we don't see it at the time. The one person ... we pick fights over silly things and lose them.... many many years later we understand ... had we just been a little more patient .. a little more understanding .. a little less selfish ... we too may have seen our days out in the company of that one ... and only one ... most wonderful person
