    Black is the colour of my true love's hair. Black is the colour of my love so fair. Black is her body so firm, so whole. Black is her beauty, her soul of gold.

    I carry my love in my heart every, everywhere. No matter where I go she is always there.

    I remember when she came to me in a vision of my mind. I remember when she said to me, "don't ever look behind". She said "look ahead" and I would see someone always loving me. A picture is painted in my memory without a colour of despair.

    This is one of the most moving pieces of art I have ever experienced.

    Presupposes that 'swinging' is a good thing. Naturally, it is not.

    Enrique Iglesias' "I'm Gonna Fuck You Tonight" is more moving.

    Brilliant vocals from the genius of Nina Simone.

    Try to see a wonderful interview of Nina's called " Edoctum--Nina Simone --Hard Talk "

    It runs for 25 Min & is very,very interesting!

    I'm all for Scottish music (and Imlach's version is gorgeous) - but I kind of think the existence of this version kind of blows your theory out of the water. This version stands on its own merits.

    PS. ....... or vice-versa , turn a spiritual into a Scottish song as Hamish Imlach did with Cod Liver Oil & the Orange Juice , apparently based on Virgin Mary Had a Little Boy

    Why not turn a Scottish song into a negro spiritual ........

    Did Nina Simone in her rendition not just do that ?

    Are we not all Jock Tamson's bairns ?
