- 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.

the more i listen to morgan the better she gets
Like fine wine, Morgan just keeps getting better and better.
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.
Doug is an awesome player. Morgan you are soooo lucky to have him!
I absolutely love these stripped down arrangements. Her voice and just a guitar or piano make a stunning combination.
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 !
I’m old, and I love the Animals version, but this is just stunning!
Everything about Morgan James just speaks “dayum”.
i love Morgan une vrai artiste simple et une grand voix bravoooo
"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.
Nina's music is the salve for my soul ... I didn't think anyone could cover her music well enough to get me to listen, but these two musicians "bring it on home" for me ... Thank you!
Omg these two just blow me away with their musical prowess, seriously i do not have words.
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!
As always, when she sings I listen.
Simply wonderful. Thank you.
Oh my goodness, what a performance ! Thank you so much for sharing this emotional song with us
Thank you, Morgan, for this beautiful version of my favorite Animal's song. Had no idea that it was written for Nina Simone. Your voice is magical. Great guitar accompaniment.
One of the very best. Should be a super star. A class lady.
This song truly shook me. Thank you so much, Nina and Morgan ❤️❤️❤️
Goose bumps! Thank you, Morgan!
Fabulous as always Morgan.
Amazing voice!
perfect combo : versatile voice and great guitar . Always intense and respectful of the original artists and songs yet adding a new interesting layer and twist.
So talented!
Awesome voice, she can raise the roof with the best of them.
Morgan is fng incredible. I found here on a Seth Rudetsky RUclips video. So accomplished as a vocalist and damn, so pretty.
I believe every old star bless you and your talent! From the heart! 😍
Thank you for the performance :) cheers ?!
Her beautiful voice radiates out from her soul. Through every cell in her body. TRIPLE WOW !!!
Incredible voice and Nia has always been one of my favorites
Simply incredible….incroyable……la voix, les arrangements et la guitare…merci infiniment…..
Phenomenal.❤❤❤❤❤
Superb
Goosebumps throughout ❤😮😊
Great job!
Whowwwww what a performance .This is the best pure version Everrrrrrrrr
Lov en her 😘😘😘😘💕💕💕💕
Beautiful voice
outstanding!
She has a way with a story thats for sure, what a delivery. She's on my Mount Rushmore of vocalists, with Haley Reinhart ,Nina Simone, Angelina Jordan and Billie Holiday.
Yes! And in other genres...Janis Joplin, Patsy Cline, Sarah Vaughn, Linda Ronstadt....
@@reneer3197YES SO F/N 👍
Enjoy seeing and hearing the fascinating Lady, thank you
Good music is like gravity... it just draws singers & musicians to it. Thanks guys for your good work 👏
Wow … just wow
Oh so good,!!! and yes I have your CD's, hello from down under great to listen too
That’s class.
Super Fantastic! 😎🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻
Great.
Scott Bradlee and PMJ feature the best of the modern vocalists.....all are so good at many genres of music........of course, in Morgan's case, a Julliard training doesn't hurt.........her range and vocal control are exquisite.......
I remember that hit by the Animals when I was a teenager, and I thought it was great; this version is just wonderful!. I have to agree, though, Nina Simone is one of the great ones. Everything she touches........
Wow!!! Can this be done in a better way?
Singing, playing and arrangement ‐ All top!
WOW
NICE GOWN ...straight from the house of the rising sun !
The original recording (still available) is wonderful. The songs are outstanding, exhibiting MJ's power and phrasing/arrangements. Recording quality also excellent.
Ken, you just named my favorite singers. I would like to add Aretha to the list.
You’re a genuine talent. Fantastic song! I got shivers. A new fan. Dr.Don
Unique .not other like you .
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 miss her long hair.
Just as awesome as her version of "Dream on" and "Getsemaneh"! Only a little more decent.
S C A R Y GOOD.
What can i say ?
Simply spectacular
Who is playing the guitar?
Her husband.
@@mencken8lucky guy.
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
Music starts at 2:17 or so.
Just sayin'...
MJ, I love you, but not this one, and not Trouble in Mind. Too much of NS's life is in those songs. She's not singing, she's praying.
Morgan looks almost 60 when she's 42. Love her and her voice but this character looks for her is not good
Come on!
Marry me:)
