  • the song is from Porgy and Bess a old broadway musical written by George Gershwin and the only musical with a all african american cast for its time . Beautiful music came from that including Summmertime and this .

  • @gundamshogen2310 well... it's indeed from porgy and bess, but it's a really different rendition comparing to classic performances by Ella Fitzgerald for instance

    not that much left from the original

  • My man's gone now Ain't no use a listenin' For his tired footsteps Climbin' up the stairs Old man sorrow's Come to keep me company Whisperin' beside me When I say my prayers When I say my prayers He come around He come up, he come around Ain't that I mind workin' Work n' me is travelers Journeyin' together To the promised land But old man sorrow Mountin' all the way with me Tell' me that I'm old now Since I lose my man Since I lose my man Since I lose my man

    that's because Nina Simon was an original herself and didn't need to be yet another Ella clone.

  • Haunting, timeless voice!

  • @tedwilsonjr Why wouldn't it have been considered legitimate before a performance by the Met and Houston Operas...as far I know it was always considered a legitimate opera, particularly b/c it was performed by an ensemble of CLASSICALLY trained African-American musicians.

  • onbeschrijfelijk ......nog steeds dezelfde magic als toen ....en toen is 40 jaar geleden .....ben ik blij dat youtube bestaat ...............er is niemand zoals zij ...kan eens iemand proberen !!!!

  • @bluehippo54 ....THIS NINA SIMONE IS SO DEEP IN THE SPIRITUAL THINGS YOU CAN FEEL IT IN HER TANTILIZING VOICE, IT PIERCES YOUR INNER CORE, IT'S BEEN SAID WHAT COMES FROM THE HEART TOUCHES THE HEART SHE'S FEELING GOOD , I KNOW WHAT SHE MEANS, OLD MAN SORROW TOOK ASEAT, TOLD HER SHE WAS OLD ONCE SHE LOST HER MAN, I FEEL THE SAME WAY WITHOUT MY MAN, NINA WE GOT THAT IN COMMON! LOL!/ KMS ! LMAO

  • @bluehippo54 ..like nina simone had some deep spiritual powers in her her voice is no ordinary voice something of a higher power comes through this woman just listen to her !

  • what dumb ass gave this a thumbs down, they must be deaf? and should have their thumbs removed off of youtube

  • I'm a rather cold person, but I cry sometimes when I listen to her. She makes me feel human.

  • @gundamshogen2310 Porgy ans Bess is not a musical, it is an Opera

  • Sublime voce.Da brividi
