God, I love this version. But I love everything Nina does. I miss her so. Thanks for uploading this.

@Anntelope I agree. This requires musicality and life experience of understanding the life of NIna, or Nina's artistic personality for that sake. I think that she was a wiise and brave person!
-
@marcusfranciscoI agree with you Marcus, such people will never be able to appreciate the concept of quality.
-
this is one of the best artists ever.
-
This is one of the world's most brilliant songs. To hear one of the world's most brilliant artists performing it touches another level of wonder and delight.
What will happen now?

I'd like to see the Dietrich or Sinatra versions. Are they available anywhere?

Well Ann and other haters of Nina's version; as the writer I was fortunate enough to have terrific singers interpret my song; Marlene Dietrich, Frank Sinatra - even Percy Faith instrumentally. But this is my favourite cover; Nina gives my lyric an entire new meaning.

@soundof7 Mr King, yours may not be the first name that springs to mind if someone were to ask "who is THE songwriter of the modern era?" and dear Miss Simone may not be the first name when the question is framed around THE singer, but this meeting of minds ,for me, is the most heart filled, indescribably beautiful, (it also encompasses ugliness in it`s purview) recording I know of. Her reading of Leonard Cohen`s Suzanne comes close. But this truly plumbs the depths and scales the heights

@tunult I agree about Nina's version - a fascinating and individual interpretation - as with Marlene Dietrich's, a classic version.

Really great artistes march to their own beat, dreamboats.

I said "treatment" osa.

Well I love her interpretation. I think my favourite is her treatment of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood.
