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.

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

Sublime voce.Da brividi



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
