David Attenborough Africa Advert...is It Roberta Flack?

[pa___ul3]

Hello everybody, happy new year and all that!
I'm guessing everyone's seen the advert for David Attenborough's Africa for tonight but I'm wondering if that's Roberta Flack singing 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' or someone else, as I don't think it sounds like her.
Anybody know for sure?

[emmie]

I can remember the first time ever I saw David Attenborough's face in the flesh. He came to use my office at the BBC. Attractive 40 year old he was at the time.

[emmie]

he seems lovely, kind and compassionate

[grasscarp]

Em, all that, and polite, charming, unassuming ....... It was a press conference to announce he was going back to making programmes which was what he was passionate about.

[emmie]

it will be a very sad day when he goes, who is big enough to fill his shoes.

irreplaceable Em! Really looking forward to Africa tonight. It's his voice, like John Peel's, instantly recogniseable and you couldn't really imagine anyone else doing the same, in that setting it's just 'right'!

[emmie]

you should see tv footage when he was a raw youngster just starting out, wearing shorts and shirt, looked like an overgrown scout.. what a lovely man, presenter, i am a lifelong fan.

as you have been told it is roberta flack.
what is really exciting is probably the programme. should be fabulous. am really looking forward to watching it. not going to answer the phone or door bell whilst it is on so please don't ring or come round.
the party can start afterwards.
