Peggy Seeger To Release New Version of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face


Peggy Seeger is set to release her new version of 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'. The single is set to be released on March 28th and is available to pre-save here. Check out the stunning video below.

 

"I sang the song from 1957 in January pretty much until the person who made it, Ewan MacColl, died in 1989. After that, I had trouble singing it. Then my voice changed and I've hardly sung it at all in the last three decades. So here it is the way I sing it now. I just love it and I'd like to dedicate it in a strange way to Roberta Flack who made the song popular - a very different way of singing it and Roberta, I wish you well and of course you who are watching I wish you well too."
