  • 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..

  • type in Layefa's wave summerjoy

  • Simpesmente espetacular......

  • 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..

  • sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

  • this was my favorite song as a child-can you believe that I was a hopeless romantic way back then???

  • WHATCHU SAY NOW MAMA?????? )))

  • ♫♫ You made me leave my happy home/Love brings such misery and pain ♫♫

  • Nina Simone just leaves you shaking your head. Amazing! Nina, Dinah Washington and Lenny Welch, of course -- what a great song.

  • "I get the blues bout every night ........."

  • one of my fav songs in my 64 yrs...never ever grows old.

  • oh damn

  • 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

  • Rebecca Black has over 7 million views, this video has 212,018. This is not good. 

  • @TheAudi602 Who? Rebecca Black? Never heard...

  • I can't stop listening to this song!! definitley the beauuuuutifulest of the most most most mooost insuperable and beautiful songs of all time!! :)

  • Soooo unique,soothing and refreshing. and extra ordinary.

  • 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!!!!

  • only one word: WOW

  • Wow  thanks for the great music

  • a breathe of fresh air

  • 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...

  • @ravnar101

    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

    :-)

  • je ne veux pas aller à mon lit sans vous

  • NINA Crawled up in this song , took up Residence & made it her own , this Song Will Never be the same & we're better for it ..

  • top nina....she's sooo blues!

  • what a pleasure xx

  • génial une pure merveille cette chanson  great nina forever

  • 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
  • When she covers a song it becomes hers.

  • love and joy to nina

  • I love this song!

  • Nina, Nina, Nina....

  • Maravillosa. Me pone la piel de gallina.

  • Good gawd...what a woman

  • fab!!!!!!

  • @df4385620 Smooth sexy song, over candle lights sharing along w/ your lady.

  • 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.

  • This song always make me cry.She has such an angelic voice. Thank god for bringing such an angel to us.

  • 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.

  • IF anyone who does not understand jazz needs to know what we mean by "smoky", all they need to do is listen to this.

  • As good as it gets.

  • Nina is my hero, I heart her...

  • 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.

  • I saw her perform live in Pittsburgh 42 years ago and was blown away. Is she still with us??

  • unfortunately not- but her records are

  • 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.

  • @Castilda0311 reportedly, there is a moving being made of her life. However, the movie has been in production for 4 years.

  • @K2quared I can see why.... who they gonna get?

  • The Upper Echelon of Musical Greatness , The Very TOP

  • holy hell! what a song! nearly made me cry...

  • nina simone... awesome....

  • True meaning of sensual.....I love you Nina.....

  • Absolute goosebumps. I think this is one of the best blues songs i've heard. Its just so raw and expressive.

  • This is how it's done.

  • great blues . . . what else can you say?

  • Brilliant.

    Nina is every woman. Nina is Universal.

    Beautiful.

  • Thanks for sharing.

  • My pleasure :)

  • just love this song....and the Diva that sings....

  • Just Perfect.

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

  • 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.

  • Nina Simone is great, but Billy Holiday is the Queen.

  • there is no way her vocals are simple , to sing like that / no one else has . But i get the drift .

  • Simplicity and originality =genius

  • i love this girl... its like all the things ive felt opened up in that voice and articulated angelically...

  • i love how she juxtaposes her insane piano skills with her simple vocals

    there something she has that you dont hear from anyone else

    a certain immediacy. its like she right inside the speaker singing live, and shes never pretending anything

  • @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!

  • @theblueangel28

    well put.

    if ya can't feel this.. ya can't feel anything

  • @theblueangel28 The power of soul!

  • Great, great song!
