[ShaMonkey2007]

thank you for this mellowdy:)

[Impex7]

Been looking for this, thanks for posting!

[timeoutdean]

seriously, i thought i knew music, and i always thought the tamlins did the original. I guess you live and learn

[mkrobinson]

@timeoutdean - Randy Newman wrote it, actually. It's on his album Little Criminals. Tamlins and Nina's versions both crush his though.

[pmta43]

It's OK I found the other version which in my opinion is superior to this one....A live version from Nina on the album 'Let it be me' from 1987...awesome

[pmta43]

Is there another version of this song? I sure I've heard Nina sing this differently on another record....????

[retalz]

theres many versions... dont know if nina has another version though. the original is by randy newman

[charmcity401]

city hospital(where mercy is now)1968,april 1st....fuc me,nina reppin the crib(marble steps bitches)

[birdatplay]

chune!! igrew up on the tamlins singing thisbigg tune.

[richdad360]

This song was my introduction to Nina Simone. I use to play this song over & over again until I fell asleep when my mother went to work. Thanks for uploading. I love this song. It's real.

[wahinemaori1]

YAY thank you, I love this album.. no one I know knows it.. dang

[radianexplorwalker]

Thanks for posting..... loved it way back and love it now.

[Backatwon]

I heard this on a mix tape and had to get it ....thanks for posting this ...love it !!...........much respect!

[23skullhead]

Wonderful wonderful wonderful! So many good memories associated with this record for me. I bought it in N.O. about ten years ago, on the day before thanksgiving (I'm from England). And here I am listening to it again, at thanksgiving. This is the music that will be playing when I cross the Styx and enter Hades. Thanks.

Happy holidays Baltimore (and N.O.!)

[KikiSazuki]

vinyljunkie07 ...Thanks for posting...you ROCK!!!!

[rhulah]

FUCK BALTIMORE!!!!

[dhonez07]

B-MORE STAND UP!!!!!

[Casadalinnis]

@dhonez07 It's amazing how youtube is the only place I find people who know of this song. Anyone Maryland who comes across this, there's also another amazing Nina Simone track that I live by but it took another Marylander for me to even remember I own it. Love that the top comments are both about Maryland...makes me remember we have epic music fans sometimes. Hope that you see this a year later /watch?v=A6CK11i6KD0 ...the Kerri Chandler remix isn't too shabby either but I love her work. Meek <3

[Totalsexytips]

Its beautiful.. I had always heard the reggae version from the tamblins.. but this is definately... so groovealicious

[GazYad]

pure class

[gizmoblack]

Thank You so much for posting this, this is my favorite Nina Simone song. What I love about it is that its timeless, it sounds like a recent recording!

[hollafied]

Yeah, as soon as drugs started get more popular starting in the mid 1970s, Factories started to leave the city at around the same time. And now, the city is one huge fucking mess.

Nice of you to drop in !

[RUKHAS7171]

sinner man best song

[twiklight]

How awesome is this song. Nina simone is just so bad-ass.

[StarlettStar]

thank you for putting this up. first time i've heard it and loving it!!! Dr Simone showing her genius as always!

[dddlll]

Nina Kicks !

[TheEntropyEpoch]

She drains all the pathos and drama from Randy's song.

Where's the passion. It's just funk groove.

[dhonez07]

B-MORE STAND UP!!

[ncbloom]

damn , what i wouldn't give to have a version of this without the strings. THAT , you could buss up it the club. if the record companies were smart they would reiissue all the 60 and 70 soul, sans strings. so many sweet tunes just kinda cheesed up. i dont necissarily mean this tune though. i'll take it with or without , its pure genius. the way nina phrases her delivery is mind blowing. you cant learn that a berkeley.

[HeySlowPokes]

ncbloom, 2 months ago.

How old are you?

.

Such a tune in a club now, would not be as great as imagined and when you went to dance you may have a heart attack or some such thing.

.

Watch The Wire instead -nbc.

cheers.

del-boy.

[ncbloom]

i'm 32 ive watched the wire many times and whatever i drop in the club the people dance to . thats what being a dj is all about.

[HeySlowPokes]

Dear ncbloom,

Thanks for your response.

cheers.

[ncbloom]

viva mcnutty , viva stringer bell

[lovekat62]

Favourite Nina track ever, and for all you e-music afficionados, it IS available on iTunes.

[tommysonar]

I love Randy Newman but this version of Baltimore is the definitive one. Beautiful.

[mgal29]

[conmanduck]

[Gravitron0]

Baltimore! Just saw French documentary of Nina yesterday at the Maryland Film FEstival. Film presented by Ian Mackaye (Fugazi). Now I find a Youtube of Baltimore. Cheers!

[fincsi7]

This is realy GOOD MUSIC. Thanks for uploading! peace

[scratchback2001]

A pure gem. They will never make them as good as this ever again. scratch.

[grlgrlz]

just pure soul....

[HaplessHarvey]

Spent ages looking for this song when i was a kid, couldn't believe it was Nina. One of the very few vinyl albums I still have.

[HeySlowPokes]

Dear HaplessHarvey, (6 months ago)

Do you know harvey, that that is probably why/how the sharing of music came about and you-tube came about.

.

The strong capturing of one's past and even childhood that occurs when a memory trace from the past is found again, upon hearing music apparently forgotten.

.

This re-estabilishing in the mind is a powerful phenomenon that can cause the individual to think about what memory is and re-evaluate the whole present in a new richer way.

.

cheers.

[JustDread007]

Chilled To The BONe!!

[Karamel2233]

Nina was Fabulous, to say the least!!!! Her version is hands down Awesome!!!

[Denise32]

Scary how it was hard to live then....... So we should not be surprise that the WORLD is in the state is in. They have been warning up forever.

Great voice and song period!

[Champraves311]

I can assure you it hasn't changed

I love this version from one of the greatest performers in American history.

[ncbloom]

[JET997u]

Haunting, tripping, lonely... wonderful song.

[ralphended]

NOOOOOwhere near as good as Newman's version--vastly inferior! Soory, but this is an epic failure.

[saulberg]

NINA SINGS REGGAE

[Hoboscouts]

baltimores become a shithole,,, this song and the people from there are still beautiful

[venicemoi]

Heard this in the earlt 70s and was complately hooked on Nina Simone,both for her story and her voice.Great to find this here.

[buecherkoenig]

A good german version by Udo Lindenberg!!!

[alvincash]

I heard this the first time on Capital-Radio back in late 70's early 80's. It's so haunting, fantastic production, once heard never forgotten.Thanks for putting this up.

can't stop playing it.

[joedruo]

yes finally someone put this up! been asking for ages!

[evamlj]

Dear friends,

I was one of the lucky to be in one of her appearances and I adore her. Baltimore is my favorite, I don't know why. So I could talk about it if you don't mind... It was written by Randy Newman, and then Nina performed it and it became hers...

There is a cd called "Let it be me" and the bonus track is Baltimore. It's the best ever, if you haven't heard it tell me how to upload it.

Love,

Eva

[dreadedwheat26]

always loved this track in particular,its not on any of the best ofs,weird.

[rosebush59]

Beautiful! I have been searching for this for ages , wishing someone would post it. THANK YOU x

[tuputam]

[theselfishgene26]

great song.reggae tinged greatness

[UKGully]

I've been looking for this song. Its impossible to download illegally.
