  • i came hee because i saw this on the voice with pip

  • I love the original by Leadbelly but this version tickles my chin!

  • Nina Simone was born on this date in 1933. {Feb. 21st}

    Sadly, Ms. Simone passed away on April 21st, 2003... May she R.I.P.

  • This is such a moving, soulful song, with a brilliant message, and I think Nina Simone captured it perfectly here. This is, without any doubt, the greatest version of this song I have ever heard.

  • risingsun

  • This is one of 3 versions I know and to this day is my favorite!

  • WOW what version...

  • 2:06-2:07 is a howl that moves the soul.
