This song was played on something I watched last night. It still sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it, sung by the incomparable Roberta Flack, who incidentally is 87 today.

87! shock

She recorded it in 1972, I think, the year DH and I married.

Just listening to the words makes me feel so young and just so nostalgic for being ‘in love’ and feeling that no one else has ever felt like that before.

Daft I know.

The one that gets me everytime is Dance with my Daddy Luther van Dross

I remember Roberta Flack singing this. I was a young teenager and thought it was beautiful. I also loved her singing Killing Me Softly which I think was written by someone as an homage to Don MacLean. It reminds me of happier times. I did fall in love with someone across a dance floor, and he fell in love with me. But it wasn't to be. One of my favourite songs is Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce.
