Not the Bach Prelude version which isn't at all the one you're all use to hearing...nor the Caccini version which is modern...I mean the FAMOUS VERSION, with achingly beautiful piano intro, followed by that soaring vocal that dovetails in...now, if you just jump to Wikipedia, it'll tell you it was "written in 1970", but i think it is WAY earlier that that, because my grandmother whose 80, SWEARS it was a common song in her church growing up....i'm talking about the version sung by Charlotte Church, Pavarotti, and countless others...the world famous one...who wrote that, and when? And to you older repliers, can anyone recall hearing this song before 1970?
