Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood 16 minute version Part 1 (in HD)

[a1wife1]

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SONG TO DANCE THE LATIN HUSTLE TO. I LOVE L--O--N--G WELL ORCHESTRATED DISCO NUMBERS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD. AS AN AUDIOPHILE, IT'S THE "SOUND": THAT I GET OFF ON (GOTTA HAVE A GOOD MELODY THOUGH). I LISTEN TO EVERYTHING I CAN FIND THAT MEETS THESE CRITERIA. BUT IT ALL BEGAN, WIRH "DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD" (SURE--BUT AS THEY SAY, THOUGH, "THE ROAD TO hELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.") THERE WAS NEVER ANY DISCO NUMBER THAT MOVED ME TO DANCE LIKE THIS ONE.

[piros97]

Excellent version and quality; this is one for my favorites!

Thank you for uploading :-) :-) :-)

[flormtr1]

Thanks for posting this great song!! I used to listen to it years ago when I was in high school. Great dance tune from the 70s! Santa Esmeralda's version is by far the best. The rhythm and horn section are fantastic. Thanks again!!

peace

[unclejay1973]

This song used to remind me of being a kid in the 70s, now all I can think off is Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu swordfighting in the snow!

[TheAchim59]

my all time Favorite...

... reminds me of the good old days!

[jimmyjoejustice]

i had this complete song on 8 track boy this brings back memories

[Zedness]

Does anyone have the Trini Lopez version? 1969 I think. It is the most brilliant one. Goes on for about 12 days and great to dance to!!

[stalkingwolf1954]

joe cocker does a wicked version also

[gypsynish]

WICKEDLY AWESOME QUALITY, MANY THANKS!! LOVE THE EXTENDED VERSION!!

[Jan0G]

I have it on Santa Esmeralda's LP, put it on the turntable and chill out for the next 16 mins!

[laurana99]

I still have the extended play EP . i use to drive my room-mates nuts with this song . Love it .

[TheSPACECOWBOY68]

Imagine riding into Cordoba, Spain to this song on horseback

[thebaconboy]

@TheSPACECOWBOY68 imagine riding into Mexico with "Far Away" playing by Jose Gonzalez

[TROUDUC81]

Juste un grand souvenir d'enfance !

[blozier2006]

for you game show fans out there, this song was used as the theme music to the Barry and Enright pilot "Bullseye" in 1979

[flores23ify]

hey thats! a hell of a song back then thanks for saveing it you go guys!

[2004Bellagabriel]

sometimes???

[missahleah]

sexy, sexy sexy

[Hardy1953de]

This is one of the very examples of a great cover song. They did not try to copy the original but experimented with other styles from classic flemenco style over funk guitar (near the end) without loosing the original rhytms and patterns.

what impressed me is the tasteful changes in tempi and a really good flamenco guitar. *****

[Bounty067]

Génial :-)))

A partir de 3:22 c'est grandiose.

Et de 3:55 à 5:05 c'est le numéro de claquettes, exceptionnel

Et au milieu de ca, vers 4:30 ça chavire carrément, dans le bon sens du terme

Bravo !!!

[ALERO2601]

@Bounty067 tu l'as bien détaillée...

[mill14rd0]

I love this song! Thanks for sharing!!! It would have been great if you had been able to post the full 16 min. song into one video.. but it's awesome anyway! Thanks!

[pridefalcon]

The best best part of it starts in 3:22. A great song, thanks..

[magicnightkhan]

[mariodossena]

Not rare , but the original single 12" version released . The title is - don't let me be misunderstood plus esmeralda suite .

[LordSpanky]

[laughingkitty1]

GOD! This song makes me feel POWERFUL!!

[luvnelson41]

One of the greatest songs ever, i still like it as much as the first day i heard it........OOOOh Please my sweet esmeralda

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

We used to go crazy when the disc jockeys would play this on the radio station in the 70's. We would all dance around the house. Ah.... the good ol' days.

[leeo21310]

this shit had me bob'n my head 2 the smooth groove...

[feanorfeuergeist]

Thx aloooot for uploading! just love this song and the longer the better :D

[dlroworld]

This is the only disco era song that I like. Even though like all other disco songs, it's lyrics are totally schmaltzy and lame.

[LeoHareMusic]

You know it's a cover of a cover of a cover, right? It began as an early 60s R&B song.

[numb19029]

I thought the longest was the 10 minute version O.o

[ChipDunkle9781]

This is the best version.

[sereneles]

OK version of Gloria an old THEM song from the 60's on the flip side.

[Espeon1962]

TGI found it. I had this album when I was young and am ashamed to say in my many travels it bit the dust. Classic, classic, classic. The Best!!

[tiobobo60]

It's actually 2 songs with no break.  The second half is called Esmerelda Suite. Great for dancing when I was 18.

[Kobalos]

I like this version, I also like Nina's aswell. This version is more upbeat and dancy, Nina's is proper blues either way i think they are both good :)
