Nina's very special. Classically trained, blues hued. I hear you guys talking about "rabbit holes", well this is a spiritually, musically, fantastically rewarding rabbit hole. Fall in love with Nina.
It’s a very old gospel song. Nobody does it like Nina. She was brilliant. She played jazz, gospel, blues - you name it - she could do it. She was also a classically trained pianist who should’ve played in Carnegie Hall as a classical pianist if not for the racism that she ran into.
Fantastic, as ever. When I heard Peter Tosh singing DOWNPRESSER MAN I didn't realise it was based on this at first. I thought she started her music in church. It makes sense in terms of music.
Nina music Civil Rights Her song. God Dam Mississippi I remember her singing this, fell in love with her. I'm a white Woman who was fighting fir Civil Rights. Dam she had guts to sing this during these times...
Please, watch some of the documentaries, interviews, and listen to more of her songs. She captured and represents excellent musicianship (voice, piano, interpretation, and musical poetry, also emotionally touching, intelligent, political civil rights movement). She left the US after Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated. She was a leader of that movement and should not be forgotten. One terrifically strong sister. So glad you listened to this.
It may be best not to attach Ms. Simone to any music genre because she embraced many of them. If you want to experience the serenity of her classical piano playing, a person should listen to "You will never walk alone". The video that is with the audio of her singing was probably posted by a person who wanted to use Simone's "Sinnerman" as the musical backdrop. The video itself is startling, especially when the Prohibition scenes end and the images of the KKK, a baby dressed in a KKK uniform, a massive crowd of KKKs marching down a street in Washington, DC. . . begins. About the rock, the general story is that a person sinned, and when his god called hm out about it, he tried to hide behind the rock, and the rock cried out that there was no hiding place behind it. Knowing that there couldn't be any hiding place, God says that the person can run to the devil, since he'd been following him, anyway.
She’s talking about Judgement Day , if you read Revelations you’ll find out who the Sinnerman is.. you know who it is without reading any Bible. 💯🔥🧛♂️☀️
I'm seeing a lot more of this sort of "real" soul/jazz, it started to reappear with people like Any Winehouse and now that influence is started to show up with the one's growing up with that
I am subbing to your channel simply bc you have reacted to this song. I have asked so many to do it. It is among the greatest compositions and performances I have ever heard. I don't know what it is either. My best guess some some amalgamation between jazz, gospel and a seance.
You should check out David Bowie's Lazarus, it's his last album he put out before he passed away. The thing is, is that he knew he was sick so he poured every last bit of magic and soul he had left into it. Definitely give it a listen even if you don't react to it.
Two of the greatest country songs of all time you should review... George Jones (He Stopped Loving Her Today) and Vince Gill (Go Rest High on that Mountain). Both tear jerkers. This suggestion based on you video reaction of the Brooks and Dunn song.
i feel this song is about the transition from the civil rights movement of the 50s to the black power movement of the early 60s, transitioning from seeking salvation undelivered to power.
No, that's not the story. It's a religious reference that is understood by older people in the black community who were raised to attend church. The person sinned, and when the person was facing judgment from God, the person tried to hide behind a rock, and the rock cried out, "There is no hiding place." God knew there could be no hiding place, and he tells the person to run to the devil because that's who you had been serving.
The video has nothing to do with the song, except the parts where it's her on the piano. Looks like some stuff a RUclipsr cooked up to add footage to the song.

Nina nailed it. There's also a long version you can enjoy. Thx for sharing.
Find the link for me

He has to hear the full version a context where he can just absorb and not feel he needs to react. The sht will change your life.
@@MugnifyRTS ruclips.net/video/QH3Fx41Jpl4/видео.html
I agree. The long version is even better, as it gives you more. I’ve really only listened to the long version.
It is a Negro spiritual from the 19th century. It is also a protest song against racism.
Okay i didn't know that, thank you!
It's gospel/jazz swing. If you're any more specific nobody knows what you're talking about and you'll sound pretentious.
The style is however Nina felt that day.
Ms Simoné on a Saturday morning while gardening.. Hell yeah!
This song was played in "Thomas Crown Affair" starring Pierce Bronson & Rene Russo, it's in the last of the movie in the hat scene.🎩🎬
From the best of Nina Simone tribute series! She is so incredibly inspiring to me I've been a fan for 50 years❤
The rhythm for this song itself is a Africanus beat. Highly accented on the piano beat and notes👍🌿
Love this song and her performance. Amazing.
Such an amazing lady. Her voice moves your soul.
This is a folk song. Order some Nina CDs, she is genius.
Fantastic, as ever. When I heard Peter Tosh singing DOWNPRESSER MAN I didn't realise it was based on this at first. I thought she started her music in church. It makes sense in terms of music.
Nina music Civil Rights
Her song.
God Dam Mississippi
I remember her singing this, fell in love with her.
I'm a white Woman who was fighting fir Civil Rights.
Dam she had guts to sing this during these times...
It’s the last desperate plees of a Sinnerman at the gates of Heaven/Hell
Genius 🎶 Genius 🎶 Genius 🙌 Nina 👏 Nina 🌺 Nina ❤️
Thank You for this one. I only know this song from the soundtrack on The Thomas Crown Affair move the remake.
One of the most powerful songs ever for sure. She was something special.
Please, watch some of the documentaries, interviews, and listen to more of her songs. She captured and represents excellent musicianship (voice, piano, interpretation, and musical poetry, also emotionally touching, intelligent, political civil rights movement). She left the US after Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated. She was a leader of that movement and should not be forgotten. One terrifically strong sister. So glad you listened to this.
This one reminds my of her song 'Mississippi God Damn' a similar tempo - I think a specific kind of blues
Nina is/was fantastic!!

This to me was jazz, blues, & soul music
Masterpiece.
She’s talking about Judgement Day , if you read Revelations you’ll find out who the Sinnerman is.. you know who it is without reading any Bible. 💯🔥🧛♂️☀️
Yep. It's a terrifying song when you know what it's talking about, but it's very beautiful.

It's freeform jazz she's just a genius at matching that tempo

The video he did was very sad, yet showed his awareness that his end was near. He died too young.
Two of the greatest country songs of all time you should review... George Jones (He Stopped Loving Her Today) and Vince Gill (Go Rest High on that Mountain). Both tear jerkers. This suggestion based on you video reaction of the Brooks and Dunn song.
She was an activist, so you always need to listen to hear songs with that in mind. Watch her documentary/movie, very very interesting
❤️
i feel this song is about the transition from the civil rights movement of the 50s to the black power movement of the early 60s, transitioning from seeking salvation undelivered to power.
It's called "BLUES" brother.
Better late than never.
Not everything is from a movie!! OMG
This was 1965 Linda and How was I suppose to know 😂😂😂
It’s jazz gospel
Please do Nina Simone Feeling Good if you have not already. Im sure you will like it. ruclips.net/video/xlNpmSN7mRg/видео.html&ab_channel=MMPF
Jesus I’m white and I get it.. she was black she ran to the lord she was rejected because she was black. She is one of the greatest,

She had her own sound, infected by horrors, overcoming adversity as much as possible, seeking freedom.....from the horrors...😑
Sin sinner-man

No need to interrupt the song. Any commentary you have can come after the song.
That's not how this works sorry
@@MugnifyRTS this is how it works for this song.
Why care about genre etc.? Allow yourself to listen to it first and then see for yourself
Its about slavery..😢
Shame either you cut so much out of this masterpiece or listened to a shortened version. The definitive work is longer….
The title does say Video Clip
