ATHENA ANDREADIS-BLACK is THE COLOR of My True Love's Hair A Beautiful traditional folk song originating from Scotland (by Alan Lomax), well known in Appalachian Mountains USA and Irish, Celtic music. The first recording was made by Mrs. Lizzie Roberts in 1916 The song became a traditional repertory of Thousand singers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Is_the_Colour_(Of_My_True_Love%27s_Hair) I chose in my list the finest voices of all time, as well instrumental, piano, guitar and choirs version: as No1 Athena Andreadis, Esther Ofarim, Joan Baez as No2 Judy Collins, as No3 Nina Simone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsnw0Kd7j-M&index;=1&list;=PLU2JpdVSGTolNtN4qTwdESHViybaeno2- In ATHENA's version Give attention how this ANGEL's VOICE melted together with VIOLIN SOUND playing in the same region of frequencies, it's a realy magic, amazing moment. This song is a proof that Athena's voice is Divine. I use this song to TEST Midranges and Tweeters of Loudspeakers. Many different versions of this song exist, for females or males singers , most known lyrics by Judy Collins and John Jacob Niles. ...like some rosy fair... or ...like a rose so fair... or ... something wondrous fair ...the prettiest face and the neatest hands... or ...the sweetest face and the gentlest hands... or ...the clearest eyes and the strongest hands ...still I hope the time will come... or ...some times I wish the day will come... or ... I shall count my life as well begun, when he and I shall be as one. ...you and I shall be as one... or ...s/he and I can be as one... ---------------------------------------- Black , black, black is the colour of my true love's hair, His (Her) lips are something, rosey fair, He's (She's) sweetest smile and the kindest hands, I love, the ground Whereon, he (she) stands.
