Jane Eyre-First time ever I saw your face

One of the finest love songs ever was this one sung by Roberta Flack, recorded in 1972 - the year Brian and I got engaged. So this is for my sweetie - I miss you! This video is from the best versions of Jane Eyre - ever! So I hope you enjoy the song and the video clip.

Also, Happy Valentine's Day to all my wonderful friends. Whatever your circumstances are, know that you are loved!

    I remember hearing this song for the first time, too! To be honest - and keep in mind I was a young man - I thought it was a bit long and slow (!) but today I realize it is a beautiful song.

    The more I heard the song, even as a young man, the more it grew on me and I realized it was special.

    This was during a time when there seemed to be so many good songs, wonderful groups and such a diversity of music! The late 60s to mid 70s were a magical time.

    Take care and thanks for sharing.

    Thankyou for that song. I still love it, & feel her voice is like liquid velvet, always have. I have the records, & dont play them nearly often enough!

    Yes, I love this version of Jane Eyre too! Most poignant to read your dedication to Brian - we do think about you, Pete & I, and hope one day you will share what we have found, later in life.
