    I first heard this song in 1967 when I was 16. It blew me away. I actually saw her sing it live about 6 years ago, 50 years later, at the Cliffs Pavilion. Her voice is as brilliant now as it was then.

    This is the first time I’ve heard the original version of this song, and boy, it blows the Rod Stewart and Sheryl Crow versions out of the water. When Arnold sings that the first cut is the deepest, there’s actual emotion in her voice that tells you how much she was affected by that first relationship. Crow and Stewart, meanwhile, sing it so blandly, as if they were telling you they like eating cereal in the morning. This is definitely the best version of this song by far.

    Patricia Ann Cole ("P.P. Arnold") was only 20 -- and fresh out of a Los Angeles ghetto -- when she recorded this. It was written by a then-totally-unknown British man named Steven Demetre Georgiou -- who took on the stage name, "Cat Stevens" (and later renamed himself Yusuf Islam. He was just 19, even younger than Miss Arnold, who bought the song from him for £30. Life has many twists and turns.

    PP Arnold sang at RAF Coltishall in the NAAFI during the late sixties. A small girl with a powerful voice and more than one airman fell in love with her. I was the lucky one to have a cup of coffee with her. A really great talent and being English just loved her accent.

      Should have added that anyone who served at Coltishall between 1966 and 1971 when I was demobbed then please get in contact via - r.benstead1@ntlworld.com - it would be great to hear from you.

      +ray benstead - Used to hitchhike to Coltishall from Salhouse as a teen, to meet my best mate and get pissed in the Kings Head or The Rising Sun! His step-dad was stationed at the base and we used to have "free pass" to swim and use the gym. Good ol days but only during the early 80's, well after you'd left.

    I would have given you all of my heart
    But there's someone who's torn it apart
    And he's taking almost all that I've got
    But if you want I'll try to love again
    Baby I'll try to love again
    But I know
    The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
    The first cut is the deepest
    'Cause when it comes to being lucky he's cursed
    When it comes to lovin' me he's worst
    But when it comes to being loved he's first
    That's how I know
    The first cut is the deepest; baby I know
    The first cut is the deepest
    I still want you by my side
    Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
    And I'm sure gonna give you a try
    And if you want I'll try to love again
    Baby, I'll try to love again but I know
    The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
    The first cut is the deepest
    'Cause when it comes to being lucky he's cursed
    When it comes to lovin' me he's worst
    But when it comes to being loved he's first
    That's how I know
    The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
    The first cut is the deepest
    Oh again
    Yeah, yeah, baby, baby, baby i know
    The first cut is the deepest
    (The first cut is the deepest), yes it is
    'Cause when it comes, it comes to being lucky he's cursed
    When it comes to be in love he's worst

I knew her pianist and we met for a drink before the show. She was nt happy about the turn out or the food she d been brought. But she still came down and smashed it . Fantastic.
