Nina Simone - Nobody's fault but mine

[smovdslacka83]

i remember when my grandma played the piano and had us standing around it singing this song

[berkeleyam]

5 people's souls are lost. It's nobody's fault but theirs.

[lprt7997]

This is true music/talent, not the crap that they are calling music these days...

[MrJake92662]

these modern singers like Carey and aguilera could really learn something from Nina.

[danielamin]

You dig that that song isn't hers, right? It was written by Blind Willie Johnson.

[charlesmorey1]

you should listen to merideth mchenrys version its amazing

[Vivelabretagnelibre]

I believed this was a cover version of Led Zeppelin :) I'm disappointed

[MrJake92662]

@Vivelabretagnelibre being a big fan of zep myself I must say they covered the song, it was an old blues tune.

[Escondido123]

Thanks, I found you. I have found you thru Led Zeppelin, Dread Zeppelin, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Stanley Clarke, John Paul Jones, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Robert Plant, Yo-Yo Ma, Victor Wooten, Geddey Lee, Les Clapool, Jaco Pastorious, Paul McCartney, Sting, Cliff Burton, Jeff Berlin, John Entwistle, Steve Harris, Charles Mingus, Geezer Butler, Chris Squire, Mark King, John Patitucci, Lemmy Kilmister,

[BlackBerri83]

Aretha can't hold a candle to nina. This is artistic genius at its finest.

[TheReadsbororegular]

Nina can do wrong in my book but it's hardly ; "Nina Simone singing her own "Nobody's fault but mine"." This is a Blind Willie Johnson song and props are due where they are due.

[everadopgil]

GREAT ARTIST !

[ZXNakamichi]

On what LP can I finde this recording? Or was it on a CD only?

Thank you anyway for this great tune!

from Vienna,Gerhard

[oldsyphilitic]

@ZXNakamichi I think the album's called 'and piano' it's either 'Nina' or 'Nina Simone' in the title

[abr009]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan that talent of hers is saint!!!! one song of hers is more than enough to make my day !!!!!! (regardless off what **** I had to go through before that)

[noodles41]

the ending is so powerful.

[Loo2806]

Woaw.

[qt8625]

So smooth...

[alleycat516]

Hot damn, I got CHILLS.

[boooopadoop]

CAN I SAY DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

[snowmiss5]

now i can die...with piece in my soul



[Kimmieleggs]

Pusher man don't help, but it's Nobody's Fault but Mine if I take one road over another, today I choose to take the right road.

[saiyan135]

This version and Led Zeppelin version, rules at he same time! ^^

[manserimax]

wow..wow..wow...i am crazy about her voice and song..WOWWWWWWWW

[TheAlexandreAguiar]

Verdadeira raiz do rock!!

[BluesRiverMan]

Amazing. Moving, deep, mysterious. Bless you Nina

[JAACastle]

God Bless you Ninna Simone. Indeed a class act, heartfelft and praisworthy of the master's. Thankyou for posting this up.

[melovewe]

Truly I feel her pain.

[thedevil2343]

Based on that voice of hers alone , all nina would have had to do was ask me too , and I would lay down at her feet and die.

[TheFatyBella]

Damn Nina......!!!!

Amazing

[hoorayarts]

Oh, mama! She's right in there with all the great women blues singers of all time. Terrific rendition and the piano is just right.

[nochenontubo]

I know that Nina Simone and Nick Drake will either destroy or save my soul :D

[C4CC]

BAMMM!

[Nomis399]

20 years old metal head has tears in his eyes -.-

[Noragirlie63]

@Nomis399 good on you sweetie (48 year old hippie who like most things - so as long as they is good)!

[hugelane]

Wonderful honest playing and singing, no pain no gain!

[EyrunRos]

[SuperKingjazz]

I didn't have a mother that could pray... :( is it then my fault?....everybody gets a chance...the game is still not lost...the choice is ours...take the right one ;)

[meoldsis]

[meoldsis]

i love it.cant stop singit

[sweetc705]

beautiful! this song touches your soul.

[mrzerolex]

If you are interested in listening a HipHop version of this song : check the souncloud page of "mrzerolex" ( the title of the song is the same ) !!! :)

[guinoronaldo]

sem palavras, so ouvindo mesmo!

[Fisherrotts]

Basics 1 voice 1 instrument 1piece of history.....perfection

[catkisser]

Wow, so powerful hearing a more original source material for this song.

[SuperKingjazz]

Don't be proud....don't think you know it all....I did..and it leads to one thing: death and despair :( am I a fool? maybe...but so be it!! rather be a saved fool than a proud ignorant! :D love you all ;)

[SuperKingjazz]

I played the bass for 15 years now and JPJ is one of my fav. bass players....

Got saved a few years ago, finally realizing that God is our savior and He created us and love us....despite our...how to put it? BIG and fucked up weaknesses (I was a drug addict, sex addict for many years)

By now many of you think: he'd a fucked of guy rambling on about his life... etc...

But here's my thought/thing/ Why did Led Zeppelin choose songs like this? and sing about stair ways to heaven.... ?

[12lovegod]

I totally agree, its like the bible said we have no excuse, what ever may happen if people do not except christ now, they will pay for it later what ever the reason maybe.

like she said aint nobodys fault but mine

[robertjohnson487]

@12lovegod STUPID COMMENT!

[3poulakiaplekane]

@12lovegod Jesus christ superstar! Think for yourself!

[300daysandnights]

@12lovegod what are you talking about?

[gersonfunk]

es hermosa!!!

[revpgesq]

like Tom Jones and Blind Willie Johnson's versions very much, and this one right there with them. an old man, a blind man, and a woman's voice.... each adds a different tone

[amisze]

oh..

[alupenna]

your soul will never be lost,Nina.

[BlackMagicMorena]

Thats Music!!!

[kjgoya777]

Great piano...

[speakwhnspkn2]

I'm always amazed by Nina's piano playing more than I am by the unique quality of her voice. This woman was an amazing talent that I mostly slept on while she was living.

[ladyjazz63]

Absolutely wonderful... i love Nina for singing it just right... just enough feeling in it..

[ladyjazz63]

This song is so wonderful... i LOVE NINA for singing it just right... ALRIGHT!

[bapyou]

<3 Nina

[ballbreakercy]

blind willie johnson's song.

[Snoqmike]

mskeko, please forgive me but I think Blind Willie Johnson wrote this song.

[TheSouthFire]

any fans of old skool hip hop? check out the track i amde using this sample, called "Mixtape music" see what you think ;) peeeace

[endymion8712]

simply adorable!

[airforcemax]

Nobody's fault but mine, for trusting people who were not true friends. I admired Nina for singing about people's true character. Thanks Jodi Jean Sanders and I now understand why you told me about her, Nina Simone. I hope we meet, but if we don't I will always love our really really short conversations we had as teenagers.  You are a lady with classy and a Noble woman.

[stubs13]

Key of A minor right?

[333joemc]

Yeah its Am, I'll take my hat off to you if you can play it like her!

[dontdodrugzz1]

WORD

[333joemc]

Probably the best 3 minutes of blues she ever played! Fantastic version of this great song!

[mossrocka]

banger track

[healthnbeauty1]

Cooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!

[lemmidos]

ur irriterit

[smdutton]

wow, this is good :D

[MrLeJe]

... one heres like "It ain´t Necessarily So" on the piano... It´s so great!

[SD1Chargers]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mikemurphy1994]

Zeps in my time of dying guitar sorta haha

[bowiehs]

what a true song!

[kjgoya777]

This is a beautiful and gospel inspired version...divine!

[lowcat1]

I had the privilege of seeing Nina in 1998 and in 2001. I have been a fan from the very first time I heard her sing....Wow Nina I miss you so. To be Young Gifted and Black, was my first encounter and I have followed her to the end....I wish I new how it would feel to be free. Brian in Lansing Mi,

[DELTUFFOIL]

You're not free?

Where do you live?

Tom

[skarzman]

are you being serious?

[zoso7889]

There isnt a version of this song that I dont love

[smile678]

dude she turns everything she touches into BITCHIN

[mussman717word]

She didn't write this song, but it's one of the.best interpretations of it to ever exist, Blind Willie Johnson wrote it and this rivals Led Zeppelin's cover, and that's a very good thing. I dig this very much. Kudos! There's another guy who sings this song on YouTube and it's very good also, so you all might like to check that out.

[mussman717word]

I didn't realize that she also played the piano. That's beautiful! I think I'm about to become her biggest fan!!! Anyway,

[ToetallyDriven]

she was a pianist before she was a singer... being black precluded any kind of classical career, so she started singing jazz and standards to earn money.

[timjmoran]

WOW.. this is a TOtally KILLin' version..

I love the way she keeps the gospel/spiritual vibe intact whilst dropping in some altered chord voicings..

REALLy cool...

[healthnbeauty1]

This is a pretty good song.

[tnb35]

nina is one of the few modern musician who can stend equal to the old masters. like blind Wilie Johhnson who also sang this song.

she is one of the greatest!

[ReelsOnWheels88]

@tnb35 blind willie and Nina oh my God so much soul.

[nathanharnish]

@tnb35 --- that just goes to tell you she had goes through a rough life and she can let it out throught he music. HER MUSIC SAYS EVERYTHING . they way of her voice, her strength, and the way she can let it all out through words... its remarcable

[clownhate]

performance of a very soul filled person.. I love it !! Perfect !

[louiseduvee]

She was something, let me tell those of you who don't know, she was hardcore, even by today's standards...and she kept on going, no matter what: 'I had a mother who could sing', how I love that line! She's a heroine, my father introduced me to. Wow, and thank you!

[gypsymama501]

My sentiments exactly, Sister Simone.

[nickmulhall]

This is one of the songs I stop whatever I am doing to listen to it.. I love Nina and she continues to inspire me everyday.

I have done a rendition of this song and I would love for you to hear it. come to my page, sit down relax and make yourself at home.

[j50gal]

She gives me goosebumps. This rendition is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

[rosesredvioletsblue]

[Devine2k8]
