Cat Stevens – First Cut Is The Deepest

“First Cut Is The Deepest” performed by Cat Stevens from “La Nuit de la Fenêtre Rose” happening at Le Palais Des Sports, Paris, France. November 17/18, 1967, broadcasted 1968.

Stevens made a demo recording of “The First Cut Is the Deepest” in 1965, while hoping to become a songwriter. He wrote the song earlier to promote his songs to other artists, but did not record it as his own performance until early October 1967 with guitarist Big Jim Sullivan, and it did not appear until his second album, New Masters, was released in December 1967.

He sold the song for £30 to P. P. Arnold, and it became a huge hit for her. Over decades, it also became an international hit for Keith Hampshire, Rod Stewart, and Sheryl Crow. The song has won Stevens songwriting awards, including two consecutive ASCAP songwriting awards for “Songwriter of the Year” in 2005 and 2006.
