Last night was first time I learned Nina did this song. It was totally and ONLY Lenny Welch for me since his1958 hit. This is sooo sexy and soulful....NINA ....Thanks..
It's worth checking out Terri Shaltiel singing this, only 1,000 views and 3 likes (1 of which is me). Though you can't compare her to the rough quivering diamond that is Tina Simone. She still sings it very well.
Its 1958 in Terrell Texas, my grandma takes me to the corner bar because my mom is at work , the old jukebox is playing ( the blues I think) the grownups give me nickels to put in the jukebox and buy me an ice cream cone, I think that I am special, when we leave (2 hours later) she puts me to bed and tell me not to tell my mom ,next morning I count 34 nickels ,Ms Simone version takes me right back to that day, Thanks for the memories
let me tell you, this woman's voice is amazing. i was cooking dinner for two with the french doors open listening to this and the rain hit the patio when my lover walks in and sweeps me off my feet with a slow, sexy dance. thanks for the perfect soundtrack to a wonderful evening!!!!
Being in love sometimes really sucks, but not finding it sucks even more. I suppose the ancients would say love is within and all around you, but sometimes it feels that all love ever does is leave you utterly alone...
what a true thing- it's llike damn if you do damn if you dont- but you're right about one thing there- it's always better to have feel love- it's better than the emptiness
You made me leave my happy home You took my love and now you're gone Since I fell for you Love brings such misery and pain I guess I'll never be the same Since I fell for you It's so bad, It's so sad I'm in love with you You love me, then you snub me But what can I do I'm still in love with you I guess I'll never see the light I get the blues 'bout every night Since I fell for you Since I fell for you
Harmonica in the background... honest-to-god blues guitar punctuations... I always thought of her as a jazz singer (still do) but here she sounds like a female John Mayall. Wow.
Hoagy Carmichael knew how to write a song, and Nina Simone knew how to sing one. My favorite recording of this song was by the late Maxine Sullivan, but that takes nothing away from this excellent version by Ms. Simone.
o gawd how lucky you are. the goddess nina simone is not in this world any more. how i have lamented knowing that i will never be able to hear her angelic voice in person.
This is a great lady,one of the most gifted musicians the world will ever see. I have never heard her sing this song. You just have to love her style. Thanks for posting this video.
@theblueangel28 ....you explained it in just the right words, like nina is right inside the speaker singing to meand without a strain just naturally comes out superbly!
My mom used to listen a lot to Nina Simone when i was younger, especially this song.. Its crazy how music can reminds you things of life..

It was all natural for Nina I don't even think she thought about all the technical stuff, god gave her a gift her voice, and she knew it.

Most vocalists, even the great ones, tend to oversell this song with melodramatic emotion. When Nina sings it, I believe every syllable.

there something she has that you dont hear from anyone else
