    It's an old folk song that originally came out of Scotland, it was first heard here in the Appalachian mountains and first recorded around 1916. I'm 67 and remember having to learn this for choir.

      @@taylorvanbuskirk8040 Both are true. 1916 sounds about right for when it was first _recorded,_ as that's close to the first time it realistically _could_ have been recorded, but the song itself is likely much older, and passed down through generations.

    Peter is unusual in that he is an a capella soloist. He achieves some amazing results by layering tracks (sometimes as many as a hundred or more). Two really good examples are "Circle of Life" from The Lion King and "Golem's Song" . I would love to hear your reactions to both of those.

    Yay - You did it! I thought you would enjoy Avi's smooth tones, and the harmonies. Who can help but melt when he looks into the camera, with a little smile, and fills your mind ... Ooops, got carried away! This is a very old, Irish folk song, sung by many great singers, including Nina Simone, Joan Baez and Sinead O'Connor.

    Your reviews are always so great, and I really enjoy them-to the point where I know I can give it a thumbs up even before I watch it. As to whether this is an original song or not, it isn’t. It’s an old folk song that originated in Scotland, and was brought to the U.S. when they moved here. It’s well known in the Appalachian mountains, and even has another tune, written by John Jacob Niles because he didn’t like the traditional one. It has been covered by many artists, including the more jazzy version by Nina Simone referenced in another comment. The words vary a little depending on the singer, but are basically the same. And I absolutely agree-Avi and Peter are terrific here. Thank you for this review.

It seems that no matter who the members' collab with it's always good and gives us so much more to watch from other very talented people.

    Wikipedia: "Black Is the Color (of My True Love's Hair)" (Roud 3103) is a traditional folk song first known in the USA in the Appalachian Mountains but originating from Scotland, as attributed to the reference to the Clyde in the song's lyrics. The musicologist Alan Lomax supported this Scottish origin, saying that the song was an American "re-make of British materials."[

    this is what I found on Black is the Color: is a traditional folk song first known in the USA in the Appalachian Mountains but originating from Scotland. The first person I could find that recorded it in U.S. is Berle Ives in 1944. No video, of course, available...just audio. Many have recorded this song.

Even his original song are great, especially Sign of the Times. I think you both will like them. Then again I could be wrong, but please give him a shot. I think he's great. Love you both, thank you.

    Peter Hollens was on season 2 of The Sing-Off (the season before Pentatonix), along with his old college a cappella group, On The Rocks. He has a ton of great music covers to react to but some of his best feature video game music (e.g. Skyrim with Lindsey Stirling), music from The Lord of the Rings and collaborations with his wife Evynne Hollens. Take your pick. You can't really go wrong.

    Black is the Colour of My True Love's Hair. This song is a Traditional. This is a traditional song and therefore has no particular artist associated with it. It is believed to have originated in Scotland. Nina Simone did it in the 50's, but, it has a much longer tradition.
