Am I the only one who likes this WAY better than Roberta Flack's version?

Gillian Della Gana

A beautful song; the emotionally charged The Fist Time

Madpainter Ken

I prefer this version to Flack and all those that try to immitate Flack's version. As the original, and one of the few that dont make it a slow drawn out ballad, there's a unique feel and a raw emotion to it that the other versions dont capture.

This is a good example of the original bring surpassed by a cover. Sounds like a song out a musical

blueinfinite this version is painful to listen to after Roberta Flack's version, and i wonder how Roberta knew what to do to make it so sublimely beautiful - this is "tinny"I agree, that makes Roberta a genius to have did the song the way she did

Excellent. A lot of plastic music about. This is true love.

To each his own.

Ron Pocius

The best song ever written.

Oooer !!! having totally adored Matt Cardle version from X factor I felt the need to hear the original. .... with all due respect I was kinda spooked by this. A bit like one of them moments where you walk in a room and see old folk kissing,

trockfield77

Spot on! Beautiful and apparently 'artless' version.

Damian Nixon

superb.......still.

Alan O'Brien

Phil Baird

There have been many great covers of this, perhaps McColl's masterpiece, but none better than Peggy's own beautiful and simple reading of her husband's love song to her. It says a lot about music that Roberta Flack's fantastic interpretation still doesn't hold a candle to Peggy Seeger's. You can hear the love in her voice, and it's one of the most natural, artless and unaffected performances you'll ever hear, like a bird in a hedgerow singing to her mate. What an album this was too.

Dirty Projectors should do a cover of this version...
