She is the only artist I know who can do a remake of another artists song and do it better. She brings a class and level of artistry to her craft that only comes along once in a generation.
There was another place in NYC, downtown, that had so much sheet music of every kind imaginable, but, they closed several years ago, & Colony bought a lot of their old stock. That's why I thought they'd have it.
I've heard of stores which have machines that will print/create sheet music for any song you play on the machine, thought I've, personally, never seen it.
*eyes go starry as she imagines such a machine* That would be so incredibly awesome...and no I've never heard of it, though I might write to my local music shop begging them to buy one XD
And I live in England, which is what makes the downtown NYC thing kiiinda difficult for me ^_^;
But, listen, the next time you do buy sheet music from, say, Colony, ask them about the machine. As a fellow singer, I'm always happy to help someone else find what they need. I'll search around, see what I can dig up.
Truly...there is a rare, almost indescribable experience with Simone's songs. You feel complete yet shattered. With this song, I'm warmed by the lyrics, yet her tone chills me to the bone, you know? Just Extraordinary...
Such an Elegant LADY with the voice of an Angel.
Thank-You for the post

My mom would sing this to me as a lullaby when I was a baby. It makes me cry listening to it. I love Nina Simone's voice.

Mahalia Jackson does a nice rendition, too. I think it might be my favorite.

AGH! I love this song so much and I want to sing it for my Music Practical, but I can't find the sheet music ANYWHERE!
Does anyone know any place I could find said piano sheet music? None of her piano books have this song.
And if anyones a musical genius and can work it out by ear, I would appreciate it GREATLY. *prays this works*

One of the best places to find sheet music, in the world, is Colony records in NYC at colonymusicdotcom.
StephanAOTTO1 4 years ago
Nope, not there either :-(
But thanks for telling me about the site, another to add to my library of sheet music sources ^_^

Darn!
What about Sam Ash in NYC!

Ever hear of it?

Oh...yeah, it kinda would.
Sorry about that, SLB.

Hey, there, I've just found a site called notationmachinedotcom.
I've barely skimmed the info, but, it looks like they may be just what the doctor ordered.
I'll kep looking.
Yep, I've got a lot of time on my hands, for the moment, so, may as well put it to good use, no?

I have subconsciously been wanting to hear this song again after 48 years. It is better than I remember, as is Nina!
