the first time ever i saw your face play misty for me
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Flack's slower and more sensual version was used by Clint Eastwood in his 1971 directorial film debut, Play Misty for Me, during a lovemaking scene. With the new exposure, Atlantic Records cut the song down to four minutes and released it to radio. It became a very successful single in the United States where it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and easy listening charts in April 1972 for six week runs on each list.[5] It reached #14 on the UK Singles Chart.[citation needed] In Canada, it was No.1 for three weeks in the RPM magazine charts.
