Certainly one can say this: one of the most beautiful songs ever written and recorded, interpreted flawlessly by the incredible Roberta Flack. Stunningly beautiful from the greatest decade in music, the 1970s.

Written back in 1957 by Scottish singer/songwriter Ewan Maccoll for Peggy Seeger. A relative of the greatest Folk Rocker Pete Seeger. The Roberta Flack version was used in the 1971Clint Eastwood movie "Play Misty For Me." Her rendition of the song captured a worldwide audience and made the song one of the greatest loved ballads ever.
@erict956 Жыл бұрын
Peggy was Pete Seeger's sister and when Ewen McColl wrote this for her she was his lover as he was already married to someone else. Kirsty McColl was one of his children from the first marriage.
