Nina Simone - Let it be me

[harleybunt]

Sometimes even musicians get extra inspiration, Ever notice?

[katrobella]

Her voice got to really show off here, In a way I wish I lived in these times. Music was music...

[KBlocker29]

@katrobella You and I both. They got by on talent alone, not autotune and skimpy outfits.

[JJayFin]

very nice, but nothing tops the Betty Everett / Jerry Butler version.

[amandaraywilson]

I love Nina Simone. There will never be another voice like this. She is indeed in a league of her own.

[bazzy3000]

this is amazingly beautiful! why do we have this crap music nowadays? this is the real stuff!

[untoa]

OK this is what it is- she has the phrasing and the timbre to lift the otherwise ordinary

[memoivoila]

Good

[aubourg]

et oui....."Let It Be Me" is a popular song originally published in 1955 as "Je t'appartiens". The score was written and first recorded by Gilbert Bécaud.

[SOYH]

well...i am certainly glad that they finally got it right...

i am hannibal means...the singer ...flutist...pianist and protege of nina simone...

i will put on you tube the version of this song that we did in montreal in 1980...it is beautiful as well...

[tejejakeka]

so beautiful...one of my favorites. timeless.

[jazzbass25]

Sam Waymon, Nina's brother, was the accompanist. Sam is still singing and performing. I should know...I am in a band fronted by Sam.  He sounds great...

[fritz90405]

@jazzbass25 WOW! There must have been so much talent in that family. It's sad that Nina had to go through so much suffering in her later years. I saw her perform in Rome in 2002. She was obviously tired, but incredibly dignified and queenlike. George Harrisno had just died and I just knew she would change her program to include "Here Comes the Sun". And she did. She was a major cultural protagonist of the XX century, whose work is only begining to be recognized. Give Sam my love from Italy

[amenssister]

The 2 voices do blend well. I was wondering who was the accompagnying voice.

[mishandmush]

It's Nina with her brother Sam, recorded in 1971 ;)

[lokdi]

Wasn't flutist Hannibal the accompanying voice?
