Another one. Certainly at least one of them works on this Reagan-era software...

Anyhow, "The First Time..." is an incredible song.
Here's something I didn't know about the song that I bet no one here knew about either. From Wikipedia:
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a 1957 folk song written by British political singer-songwriter Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger, who later became his third wife. At the time, the couple were lovers, although MacColl was still married to his second wife, Jean Newlove. Seeger sang the song when the duo performed in folk clubs around Britain. During the 1960s, it was recorded by various folk singers and became a major international hit for Roberta Flack in 1972, winning Grammy Awards for Record of the Year[1] and Song of the Year. Billboard ranked it as the number-one Hot 100 single of the year for 1972.[2]
I haven't listened to the original version, but Flack's version was perfect. Well done, Roberta! And great song writing, Ewan!
