97. “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” is a song by Roberta Flack that was written by Ewan MacColl. For most of us, there are a few songs that forever trigger a memory of a special event or individual. They have become a part of who we are. On December 29, 1973 I married my Brown Eyed Girl, and this is “Our” song. While we were dating, we’d play it on the jukebox at Ted’s Drive-In every time we stopped by for a bit to eat. Ted’s was next to the YWCA where Candice was living at the time, so we played this song often.
