Actually Nina Simone is not the original singer..It was first sang in a musical by Gilbert Price, then John Coltrane and then Nina Simone..

but she made it wide known

and Muse covered it before Michael Bublé

FUCK Michael Bubbles,Boobi,Bombay whateva the hell his name is...this is the HIGH PRIESTESS OF SOUL, MS. NINA SIMONE'S SONG ETERNALLY! Now with that said... Shara does a nice job covering NINA's song.

@ElvisCamillo

yeah i saw that . . . but the difference was so big that i thought

that you knew something that i didn't. I thought wrong.

Cheers. . .

@LayItPlayItDown When I said 1930 I said "I GUESS" just after it.

@ElvisCamillo

Please educate me then! :)

Cause as far as i know it's written for the 1964 musical "The Roar of the Greasepaint". But i don't view live stage versions as the "original" recording

but as the birthplace ;))))

To me Ninas version from 1965 is the original though,

even if somebody else might have recorded it a few months

earlier.

But if you something about the 1930s then please tell,

cause i don't know what you're talking about there :)

@LayItPlayItDown In fact this song does not belong to Nina aswell. This song has been made in the 30's (I guess) specially for movie, and Nina decided, many years later, sing the song, then other singers followed her footstep. :)

[ElvisCamillo]

@angelwingz29 Yeah, Fuck Michael Bubble. :D

"Feeling Good" (aka Feelin' Good) is a song written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1964 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint—the Smell of the Crowd and since covered by many artists

[Nappilocs]

beautiful rendition of this song! Your voice is honey! Love it!

[vampork]

yep it's a decent cover (for once) but slightly irritating - the title is feeling good not meaning good, so why does she keep saying you know what I mean?? D'ya know what I mean?!?

[sprtrmp88keys]

God that was beautiful with the quartet backing her up.

[LayItPlayItDown]

Interesting!

I wasn't aware of earlier versions.

And ironically to, cause i like Coltrane, although i haven't heard close to everything with him.

Nice piece of info !
