I guess the 90 people who gave this a thumbs down never had this experience, and loved someone this deeply. How sad for them. I still miss my love---- and this song brings tears to my eyes.
Sissel has two huge assets: a beautiful voice and a gorgeous angelic face, a rare combination.
Incredible TALENT and the passion to TRAIN that talent!
not too shabby on expression & presentation either...
Sissel’s interpretation of this song is a pure work of art and probably the most romantically beautiful I have ever heard.
This song takes me back over 62 years ago when I first saw my lifetime love and my wife for more than 50 years.
Beautifully said David!
David, I know exactly what you mean.
😍🥲🥂💜
Amen!
Part of the magic of Sissel is evident in her expressions which seem to show that she had made the songs she sings hers. A lovely video here.
Sung with such heartfelt feelings..........simply beautiful Sissel. Thank you, from NZ.
Just as beautiful as always!
Minunata voce !!!👏👏👏👏
Fantastisk stemme - fantastisk kvinde - bare fantastiskt! OMG!
-og attpåtil var hun gift med en danske også ;)
Just when I thought no one would do this song justice but Roberta Flack. I'm glad to see I was wrong.
Beautiful song
This song has been around for years and is considered a standard, but hearing Sissel, sing it, is like hearing for the first time. How beautiful.
It has taken me back 31 years to the day my daughter was born and the first time l held her in my arms and eyes. It's getting awful dusty in here.
No gimmicks. No cheap lights. Just real musical talent! What else can one say?
Sissel, you have been a fountain of joy and beauty always. Music and life have burnished your heart - and your face - so beautifully - your music and your smile are a treasure and blessing. Joy, peace, safety and all good to you, and to everyone in your heart-circle. I thank God for you.
Overwhelming . She has put her soul into this song, I don't think I have ever heard a more beautiful version.
This the best and most beautiful ever. She is such a gift to us all.
Don Green
Like to hear duet with sissel & Judy collins.
Simply wowww.
Simply timeless beauty.
I totally agree! At age 51 (soon to be 52), Sissel Kyrkjebø is even more physically beautiful than she was at 21. I think her prime of beauty was about age 33 maybe? Of course, her heart and soul has always been gorgeous, eh? 💖🙏
Essa voz toca no fundo da nossa alma...fechar os olhos e ouvir e como se um anjo estivesse cantando para nos embalar! Magnífica voz e uma pessoa encantadora. Parabéns!!!
It is hard to express perfection, but Sissel has shown this in her outstanding rendition of this great song.
Her wonderful voice pared with her natural beauty makes beautiful music with her presence.
Check out Leona Lewis , that is perfection
beautiful singing
Whilst I agree that Roberta Flack's version is fantastic, I love the contrast to that version that Sissel offers. The music doesn't 'belong' to RF it belongs to the World and the diversity of versions of any music pays great compliments and respect to the compser and the the artists that that previously recorded/performed it.
She is your favorite song writer???.if you don't mind me asking
Hello friend...how are you doing feeling today??. Hope you are enjoying this lovely song ❤️
Sissel makes everyone else so insignificant. Everyone else is just human and Sissel is an angel, a true gift of God. Her voice is pure perfection and her beauty is beyond words. When Sissel sings it comes out how sharing herself with us is just something she has to do. You can tell how much she loves life and bringing joy to people.
Celine Dion is the same way, imo. :)
Sorry, does not compare to the original. This is not her thing.😢
Close your eyes and listen. Imagine an angelic voice on high with a gentle breath of air from wings moving in time with the music
Hermosas cancionesy voz msravillosa
Well put!
Absolutely beautiful. Sissel you have the voice of an angel !
I would LOVE to see Sissel and Angelina Jordan sing together in a live performance! They are both beautiful, regal, so angelic and inspiring in their stage presence and phenomenal voices! Not to mention, they are both Norwegian! Awesome!
Yes please !!!! That would be so amazingly awesome.
Two angels with their pure and unique voices singing together.
The most beautiful voice and lady
Beautiful amazing song and voice

Hello friend...how are you doing feeling today??. Hope you are enjoying this lovely song ❤️
Maravillosa eres para mí como un ángel tu voz y ti rostro... Yo tan lejos de ti pero cerca escuchando tu dulce voz....
Hello friend...how are you doing feeling today??. Hope you are enjoying this lovely song ❤️
Tres Magnifique!
Remarkable quality of Sissel is the high note which everyone struggle to reach, Sissel is able to sing comfortably. God has placed few Angles amoung us. She is one.
For an Angle she's very acute.
She'll be around for a long time because she always uses a microphone.
Bravissima 🌹🌹🌹😘
Perfect !!
I've discovered this song sung by Céline Dion and I'm so happy that Sissel did her version!
This song was originally sung by Roberta Flack.
@@peterharms3639 She sings it well too, but not as well as Sissel!
Booktube 96 May I respectfully suggest you listen to the original by Roberta Flack.
Listen to Mary Travers' cover. Beautiful.
As well as all the others singing this song, listen to Angelina Jordan singing it... Sissell and Angelina have different voices and each is pure love flowing as liquid sunshine to warm our hearts!
How absolutely wonderfully sung. What talent! Thank you for sharing.

Hello 👋👋.... How are you doing today???
They say “to find love is to glimpse heaven” well dear lady your voice has taken me to the gates such wonderful music, incredible thank you 🙏
I could listen to that voice all day and all night, simply beautiful.
Very beautiful sissel Roberta flack would be proud you singing her song just love your voice much love from new jersey😍😍💃💃
Roberta Flack and Sissel sing it best!! I'm thankful both versions are avilable on RUclips
@@tomhedger7013 Sissell sings it so beautifully and so does Angelina Jordan in a different, soulful way. I love both renditions.
This is not Roberta Flack's song, her version is just one of the many covers.
Her voice just sends chills through me ... unbelievable.
How Sweet!!!
A wonderful song performed by amazing singer!!!
Thanks so much Sissel!!!
Exquisite and ever so beautiful, Sissel! I can imagine you being that "perfect" woman, in every man's eyes! You have the "World" with you! Judging by the many comments I have just read, they all adore you! You are a DREAM!
When young & many years ago, I fell in love with a beautiful girl. This song was popular then and always reminds me of her. The majesty of your interpretation is that it brings back old memories and tears to my eyes. One cannot have been deeply in love and not cry at this song. Bless you Sissel!
I recommend Sissel to every audiophile's collection. At night alone, you will be in HEAVEN when you listen to every detail of her voice from the above using the best speaker/headphone!
Sissel is a voice with natural beauty to match. When she sings i believe her. Now like others at 83 yrs old i discover her. All the wonderful accolades she gets are not close . Her inner beauty shines . Just too marvellous.
Guess I'm glad that I'm "only" 77" since I discovered Sissel about 3 hours ago. Just checked and she's on Spotify. CAN NOT understand why I'd never heard of her here in the US, especially since I lived in both NY and LA for many decades. Better late than never, as the saying goes...
attractive voice, good performance
Wow you could sing phone book that would be stunning lol stay strong stay safe xxx
Wow! Words fail me when I try to describe how beautiful this song and this lady are!
I can’t help falling in love with your voice and every song that you sing. They take me to a magical place.
No! Its the entire recipe! Your face, personality, voice, talent and when that all boils together my heart warms!!!
Gives me chills every time I listen. Like a voice from heaven.
When Sissel sings it, she owns it. Simple fact. My ears are officially happy. 💙🎶

Hello 👋👋... How are you doing today???. If I may ask
Stunningly beautiful.
what a gorgeous woman 1st time i have heard her, her voice is fantastic
Sissel's magical voice singing what I've long thought to be the most beautiful song ever. What an absolute joy. Thank you.
Mary Travers was always my favorite singing "The First Time", until I heard my lovely Sissel sing it for, "The First Time"! She just does every song better than anyone else! Tom, her most ardent fan
Another fabulous rendition by my favorite female singer.
Well done!!! Great camera work!! Perfect rendition of a beautiful song!
As soft as spring breeze, as strong as summer storm
For Valentine's Day 2024, my wife gave me a keychain tag with our picture on one side and a QR code on the other. When you scan the QR code, it takes you to this video.
How romantic!
My 89th birthday! thank you!
That was just beautiful Sissel. I just love your voice.
It would be awesome to hear you sing the song you sang in 1990, 1991 TV Concert, Stageway, filmed in the Faroe Islands in 1990 in the Spring/Summer months, "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" the orchestra was performed by Per Egil Hovland, if I am correct. I hope one day you will sing it again with your beautiful voice.
My goodness. I remain a fan...... always. The world has been blessed with the talent of this beautiful lady.
-og for en vakker Liverpoolhymne ;)
Emphasis on "lady." Sissel is and always will be a class act. Unlike the bimbos spouting today's so-called music.
What can one say she is beutiful
Her heart so beautiful and peaceful. Thanks God you let me listening her angel voice and her heart.
She holds her powerful voice back to make her songs sound more sweeter and it works 😌
Beautiful rendition, but also give credit to Peter, Paul, and Mary
I can see what the videographer is doing here, it's similar to Eva Cassidy's Songbird album cover. Beautifully presented.
The first time I meet you svitlana i knew i wanted to spend the rest of my life with you!!!
Beautiful. Perfect. Very emotional I’m crying and I can’t help it
I just watched Peggy's 2023 version of her song, and it is quite majestic. It linked me to here. Sissel's version is quite beautiful and very moving. I know her best from having the mickey taken by Viktor Borge, so it's great to see her showing off her skills in a serious format. Wonderful.
Such a beautiful voice,with meaning in the words. The first time l saw her face was in a village hall, she stood there with others and l just asked "what you doing saturady evening?" well nothingmuch was her reply, so l said, "you are now" Why she asked me , "because were going out" ok she answered. l will never forget that moment in my life, as she was the best thing that ever happend to me. Yet another song with meaning. But The first time l ever saw her face was my moment in time. Never fogotten and never will.
Beautiful, awesome story!
What a wonderful memory for you. I hope you know how special that meeting was?
I just love your version of this song.
Yes the song is so beautiful 💕
Hello,, how are you doing today???. Hope your day went well....
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
Dear Lady Sissel; I recall vividly the first time ever I saw your face. You were singing "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" with Russell Watson in 2002. (Video published 2009.) I don't know what day, month, or year I first saw that, but it does not really matter. What matters is that it was love for you at first sight (and hearing) for me. Since then, my respect and regard for you has done nothing but grow every time I see and listen to you. I also recall the first time I ever saw my beloved wife's face on September 30, 1980. I said to myself, "she is going to be my bride someday." That took place just a little over 13 months later on November 8, 1981, also my 31st birthday. In less than 3 months we will celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary. I know that you are now re-married and I wish you all the joy and happiness that this life, and the next, has to offer, my friend. You spread love and joy every time you sing. Michael in Omaha, NE USA
Beautiful comment.
Thank you so much Mr.@@rodneyjones1541! That is very kind of you to say so, sir! Beautiful ladies inspire beautiful words, eh? Lady Sissel is somewhere in my Top 25 Artists of All-Time! 😍🎵 But I doubt she will ever see my comment. Since you are here, you also love beautiful music. Some others for you to watch are my #3 Enya 🍀💚 (International Super-Star from Ireland); and three bands/artists that are lesser known: My #1 Affiniti Music 🍀💚 (from Ireland); my #2 Julia Westlin 💖 (from Sweden and now in Canada); and my #5 Amadeus Electric Quartet 💖 (from Romania). My #4 (and my #1 from 1966 to 2021) are The Moody Blues! 💙 As you can see, my belief is that the BEST MUSIC is from EUROPE, especially Ireland and the UK. Are you from England, my friend? Cheers!!! 😁😁
@@michaeltriba1307 Hi Michael, I am from beautiful North Wales in the United Kingdom. I am a sem-professional musician, and I am the Director of Music (conductor) of two successful Male Voice Choir's. We haven't been rehearsin since our lockdowd (15 months now) but hopefully we will be bak by mid July. As you can probably tell, I adore Sissel and her music. I have been listening to her fabulous rendition of 'Slow Down' with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Her vocal control is sensational and the sound she produces is truly beautiful, it moved me to actual tears. My musical tastes are quite eclectic - the following a favourites of mine. Queen & Freddy Mercury, T-Rex, Lindisfarne, Bouble, Joan Sutherland, Juan Diego Flores to name but a few of many. I have a real soft-spot for the cunter-tenor voice so I listen (a lot) to Jakub Jozef Orlinski, Franco Fagioli and the French counter-tenor Orlinsky - they have truly magical musicc n You Tube. Thank you for your kind reply. Cheers to you to.
MAGNIFIQUE 😍👏❤️🕊👍💐🌹🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻💓💗🤗😍👏!!!!!
Voice of a angel stay strong stay safe absolutely beautiful amazing well done sending love from UK takecare xxx
Evidence Ewan MacColl was. Inspired by The Lord to write this song. This beauty was anointed for this
I'm so glad I found you, you remind me of my frist love, was just like this song, you two would pass as twins, thank you.

Hello friend...how are you doing feeling today??. Hope you are enjoying this lovely song ❤️
Such a "dream" song, in the voice of a "dream" lady!
AWESOME, of course💕🎶🌈💤
That's what angel voice sounds like
Sissel has wonderfully incorporated several elements from the original folk artist to perform the song (and no, that's not Roberta Flack).
"First time....ever I kissed your mouth... I felt the earth move in my hand, like a trembling heart of a captive bird...that was there at my command.... my love", I have never had this with any of the women I have loved. I look forward to this sensation one day. What lyrics!
Met a girl , kissed her and my world changed for ever . Oh yeah I tried to fight it because I knew NO GOOD would come of it . You see I knew enough of myself to know that too , the problem was that it wasn't only my world that had changed , hers had too . So we got married Bought a house , sold the house bought a ship , sold the ship , bought a house again and got 3 kids , well I was right and so wrong , Yes we divorced but we have 3 children so we are bound to each other trough our children . Yes they are grown up and have their own life but they are still our children and we love them and they love us both . I have had relations before her and had after but it's never been the same , that's gone for ever and what saddens me most is the fact that it's the samme for my girl and that's my fault and I have to carry that load the rest of my days . I hope that you too one day will have that feeling that turns your world upside down and I hope that you handle it better than I did .
@@perrodehont5109 Thanks for sharing your story....Love is the most wonderful emotion and when it ends the most painful.....However we all will never give up searching for the true love of our lives.....
@@perrodehont5109 Might you reconcile? You have grown.
@@Ron71997 The most painful...when it death takes them, and there had never been a harsh word or a rough emotion.

50 years ago as an errant teen I ran away to sea as crew on a merchant ship tramping the islands of the Pacific. One amazing night of stars, days from anywhere, several of us drunken bums were up on the bridge deck shouting and laughing round a radio receiver with somebody tuning and retuning it to contact civilization. Then this song with Roberta Flack's voice rose out of the dark. For those minutes no one spoke until it finished and a big engineer sobbed that he needed to get home, another saying, F**K me, that was beautiful. This song is thus imprinted with me. So Sissel chooses well and does it justice.
Such a lovely woman.
Wow! Wow! Wow! You are stunning!
Ahhh...only a beautyful mind could sing this song so perfectly
The first time I ever saw you, you challenged me. After 60 years married I had to lay you to your rest. Please wait for me ; I miss you something awful. The Great Smokies were your home. Deep and unknowable.
From the Land Downunder such beauty and perfection
Beautiful 👌
So agree with what you have written about Sissel.....just an angel.....more beautiful as she ages.
