TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS by NINA SIMONE

[MrLProfeta]

Nina Simone was my first jazz singer, it was my high school prom in Greenwich Village, the club was very dark and smokey, the stage was tiny and there she stood the great Nina Simone!

[FlowtnWitWalden]

Swell!

First heard this sung by Three Dog Night, Live at the Forum, 1969, when they were billed as one of the HEAVIEST rock bands in America!

[dilekkutzli]

yess she is.....



[talkinglens]

Refreshing version. Great vibrato! Love Nina. Check out Wild is the Wind. Haunting!!

[9330pablo]

first time hearing this song from Nina. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

[janiejoelle]

They are both great artist and they both sing it amaSINGly..its only a matter of taste..i love both versions::

[carysatch]

ok, it was written by "Irving King" which was really two or three guys writing under a pseudo-name...what is it with names anyway?...but I actually thought for a moment that she may have written it...dang, now I'm curious what she DID write ... hmmm...research time again...8]

[RosenthalRobertS]

@carysatch i lived down the hall from the grandson of the guy who wrote this. his name was harry woods. his grandson george woods happens to be a dynamite guitar player and pretty decent songwriter himself. Cheers!

[cleveroonie]

its so different and be jazzed up - i dont know why she just didnt write her own song with this melody

[ShamPoo1543]

@cleveroonie Probably...sign of the time?

[PerignonPop]

I'm a foolish, drunkenmanic depressive. Hey, I love this woman.

[andrewlewis963]

[hendrixius]

my favorite female vocalist singing a song written by my favorite male vocalist...musical perfection.

[Sanyi5gor]

@hendrixius

Sorry, pal, but the song been written 9 years before Otis even was born

[merlynho]

ye, she´s one of my favorite,... but i get really pissed of each time someone talks about this song... always forgets who did it better!!!! and with no dout was the great: OTIS REDDING!!!

[fredorulz1]

@merlynho its all about opinions mate. personally i love otis's version but equally i love the committments version too. cant split em, but thats my opinion.

[carysatch]

@merlynho I like Otis' version alot also, yet was it only because we heard it first? it was in our time that it was made possible, modified to the popular sounds of the day? it is still a great song, however different she does it from the great Otis Redding, she still does it well, as did many other people...that reminds me, I was curious who wrote this song? I will have to do research...I shall return!! 8]

[esspritt]

Semplicemente magnifica....adorabile!!!

[nsynczaw]

I adore this woman beyond words...however, there's too much going on with the accompaniment in this song. Its better in its simplicity, in my own opinion. Anyone else agree?

[ajaokay17]

I concur, I love nina, and considering she has such a colorful voice, with all the different things she is doing with her voice, especially with the vibrato on this woman, the accompaniment makes it really hard to pay attention,

[SoniaZaghetto]

yes, I agree

[happylarry]

very true

[SatchmoSings]

nsynczaw--

Yes, the accompaniment is rather busy, though I generally do enjoy Simone's Bach-like fugue playing.

The drummer also could have calmed down but technically it's very, very well recorded.

[UB40Music]

Brilliant song. Nice one for uploading

[SoNoFTheMoSt]
