what?? "the great Nina Simone"
she wasn't even born when this song was written by Blind Willie Johnson

@07393169 It's older than Blind Willie Johnson. It's an old negro spiritual.

@07393169 Can you believe this guy made as much cash as he makes? Can you believe he gets the herb that's SOO great?
I feel so unsung and underrated and . . . sigh*

@RcUniverseGuy ...Johnson recorded it in the late 30s....but I'm sure the song is older....Most COGIC gospel songs were versions of older spirituals and hymns pretty much until Georgia Tom gave up the blues and became Thomas A. Dorsey, the father of gospel music, and started writing.

our new song? no.... not your song but nice try

"Blind" Willie Johnson (January 22, 1897 – September 18, 1945) wrote this tune. Wonderful slide guitar with a great original melody. Search for it on YouTube to hear. While you're at it listen to his other authentic blues tunes such as "Motherless Children."

@seabrook7039 ...which version do you consider the original?
-
No knock against Nina Simone but she took all the bluesy edge off the original and discarded its great melody as well. Willie should've gone for original.
Awesome boot shot! Audio is top notch here. Video steady and up close!
