The game's question
Read the story softly, the way the song was sung, and let the name come when it’s ready.
Spring 1972. A slow, tender song comes on the radio, and the whole kitchen goes quiet to listen. On April 15, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” reached No. 1. By the end of the year, it was the No. 1 song of 1972. Circle the singer’s name together.
- Barbra Streisand
- Roberta Flack
- Debby Boone
Need a hint?
Her first name is a woman’s version of Robert. Her last name is short: five letters, starting with F.
