The First Time - Songs 1969

Songs 1969.  This is a quieter set. Who can forget the first time hearing the wonderful voice of Roberta Flack on her first album First Take. The Dusty in Memphis album was a revelation just as hearing the new singing voice of Bob Dylan that first time on his Nashville Skyline album.

It was nice to hear another great song from George Harrison on a Beatles album. It's also hard to believe that Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin song got so much radio airplay. Lots of wonderful folk music in this set too. Closes with an all time great reggae song from Jimmy Cliff.
