Hvem sang the first cut is the deepest?
Rod Stewart
Stevens indspillede en demo-indspilning af "The First Cut Is the Deepest" i 1965, men håbede oprindeligt på at blive sangskriver. Han skrev sangen tidligere for at promovere sine sange til andre kunstnere, men indspillede den ikke som sin egen præstation før i begyndelsen af oktober 1967 sammen med guitaristen Big Jim Sullivan, og den udkom først på hans andet album, New Masters, som udkom i december 1967. Han solgte sangen for 30 pund til P.P. Arnold, og den blev et stort hit for hende, og den blev også et internationalt hit for Keith Hampshire, Rod Stewart og Sheryl Crow. Sangen har vundet Stevens sangskriverpriser, herunder to på hinanden følgende ASCAP-sangskriverpriser for "Songwriter of the Year" i 2005 og 2006.
Rod Stewart
Stevens made a demo recording of "The First Cut Is the Deepest" in 1965, but originally hoped 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, as well as 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.
