Ray lamontagne takes the cake for the best cover of this song. Hands down, we can all go home. He is an amazing singer. He owned the song like no other. Gill pretty much wrote and composed this song for Ray lamontagne 50 years earlier.
Not a bad version of this Bee Gees classic, she did a couple of their songs the other was I cant see nobody what brilliant songwriters the Bee Gees are.
For someone who used music to influence change, speak about poverty, the difficulty of relationships and of course Love and Romance. I think she may be at the top of the best entertainers of all times. The fact that she lived some of this herself makes her even more awesome.
Nina didn't record this song first and it was originally written for Otis Redding which had different lyrics to this version and this version made the UK chart at number 5 and was released in January 1969 and was written by Barry and Robin Gibb
No, actually, I think this song was written by the Bee Gees (Gibb Brothers) who first performed it. It was supposed to be covered by Otis Redding, but he sadly died in an plane accident before he was able to record his version of this song. Can you imagine what he could have done with it?! Still, Nina Simone's is my absolute favorite version. Ditto Joe Strummer's comment about Ms. Simone!

Sorry to hear another song that completely ruins the song -- no emotion or style, sounds like a robot singing - apologies should be sent to the Bee Gees.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Am I missing something here? I usually listen to the Janis Joplin version, but stumbled upon "this." This woman sounds like someone should have gone into the recording studio, put their arms around her neck, and said WAKE UP WOMAN. Give it some soul.
Nina Simone had been praising the Bee Gees as song writers before the group was really massive. Nina Simone recorded this after the Bee Gees and it was her second top 10 hit in the U.K.
@Papeversomniferum First of all I love the bee gees version,but this is new to me but Im really diggin the hell out of this one,michael bolton is good also,I think loog as they stay with original style Im good.
For mentioning Michael Bolton in the comments section of a Nina Simone video you have a special place in Hell reserved for you when you depart this Earth. Bet me.
@bapyou Too damn right .Michael Bolton is unbearable and to me represents the overly sugar coated bad taste of mainstream American radio. who play his boring Motown versions more often then the originals. He should be disqualified from being in the entertainment industry on his hair do alone!
@Papeversomniferum First of all I love the bee gees version,but this is new to me but Im really diggin the hell out of this one,michael bolton is good also,I think long as they stay with original style Im good.
you never heard this song before, well the original is from bee gees and many musician cover this song janis joplin,michael bolton many reggae version maybe if you heard some other version you could remembre,it's very popular
To find this track, you may need to check out Nina Simone's 2CD's Deluxe Edition Dejavu Retro (Fatbox), or Nina Simone's 2CD's The Gold Collection - Classic Performances Dejavu Retro (Fatbox) which happen to have more tracks.
loved it, I have heard a few versions of this Bee Gees written gem, and my faves are the original, Blue Rodeo version, and now this! all so different yet all awesome

If you're going to make a video comprised of the lyrics, it would help to get the lyrics right.
e.g. The first few lines are actually:
"There's a light, a certain kind of light
THAT'S NEVER SHONE ON ME
I want my life to be LIT with you, LIT with you..."
