  • Broadway’s Morgan James returns to Dizzy’s October 23 at 5 PM and 7:30 PM to mark the 10th anniversary of the release of her first album, A Celebration of Nina Simone.
    Ahead of the concert, James stopped by the Playbill Studio to share the song “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” one of Nina Simone’s signature songs. Watch the video above.
    “I can't remember when I found Nina Simone exactly, but I do remember that I was so enamored of someone who could take anything from any genre, and it becomes a Nina Simone song,” shares James.

    I absolutely love these stripped down arrangements. Her voice and just a guitar or piano make a stunning combination.

    As Morgan gets older, you can her the maturity in her amazing voice, and a shout out to her husband on the guitar, in his own right, an amazing musician too.

    I first heard this song in the 60s by the animals and loved it. But when I heard Morgan James do it she touched my very soul !

    "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a song written by Bennie Benjamin, Horace Ott and Sol Marcus for the American singer-songwriter and pianist Nina Simone, who recorded the first version in 1964.

    Dear Morgan, every tune you sing, you make to a Morgan James song. This is what you have in common with Nina Simone. And yes, this is a wonderful take! I've enjoyed it very much. And you look and sound GREAT. All the best!

    Morgan seems to be her best when she is performing with very little behind her. This is a prime example just her and her husband... I am old enough to remember the times when we went to supper clubs and listened to Nat Cole trio, or Tony Bennet with Ralph Sharon., Michael Feinstein... The list is endless... But my all time must is when I was in New York and going to the Cafe Caryle to hear Bobby Short. No Hoopla A great voice and a simple backup.

    I don't know the whole story but, from my limited experience, I always thought that Nina struggled with mental health issues. I always wished her well, but I found her performances to be more than a little desultory and uneven.
    YMMV
