Nina Simone - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free (Rare Live Version)

  • This live recording is so special because it is the most mellow rendition of "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" that I've ever heard Simone sing. This recording has its polar opposite in Simone's performance of the same song on a different night. Search youtube for the "extended ending" version of "How It Feels," and you'll hear what I mean: far from the measured precision heard here, the "extended ending" shows Simone in all her holy-roller, revival meeting pianist glory. Together, these recordings point to two essential pieces of Simone's talent: her fusion of classical piano precision with the improvisational tradition of gospel and jazz-two musical styles she then embellishes with pop appeal. What couldn't she do?

    Never heard this one, thank you. I saw one of her final concerts in Oakland, CA and will never forget it.

    The sad thing is this: You have to be sad to make music that is this good. This was probably her deepest wish, to be free. RIP Miss Simone, hoping you're finally free.

      I think this was a tribute song for dr Martin Luther king. But you can feel every word as if it was released yesterday.
