- Little girl blue - live show with piano improvisation by Nina Simone. And if you compare this version to Janis' version, you are comparing apples to bananas. forbiddencities...
The opening chords are simply divine. Introduces you immediately to Nina's magical musical world.
+jmiller05 The opening is Good King Wenceslas. She brilliantly employs a quodlibet.
@@JLineToRiches Indeed.
Nina Simone is a Jewel that we should never forget.
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl you're through
Sit there, count your little fingers
Unhappy little girl blue.
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue.
Won't you just sit there
Count the little raindrops
Falling on you
'Cause it's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue.
No use old girl
You might as well surrender
'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue.
I don't really know where the shame comes into play, but comments about "God-gifted" irk me. Nina Simone worked hard to get where she got and people shouldn't attribute that to god because, had she not practiced like she did and worked, then she wouldn't have been anything. And I don't really get how that is cheap, or uneducated, but I can understand clichéd, but the comment still stands. :) I like happy faces more than frowns and I feel no shame.
I wish i could like a thousand times over but alas….One thumbs up is the limit.
This has to be the most moving rend6tion of this song I've ever heard. Nina Simone was a true genius.
Nobody, nobody touches me, speaks to me like Nina. Thank god for RUclips for allowing me to see all this. All I had before were the records, which were life changing, but to see her..... I actually put her in the same bracket as Van Gogh, Shakespear.....Sessions. x
i'd rather have her than any of today's musicians (except regina spektor)
Mali music brought me here 3:22
Ditto! He WORKED this!
Yes Mali
what an incredible talent she was. RIP Nina Simone.
Nina Simone is a Jewel that we should never forget.
She is using a different accompaniment than the original album. The Genius. She arranges at will...and we should be grateful
@pOBrain I did, in Baalbek, Lebanon. I shouted out "Baltimore," and she said, "For you, sweetheart, Baltimore." And I danced with the French woman who accompanied me in the aisle.
Lucky. I didn't know all of that back then
So if you truly listen you will hear the black struggle in her lyrics, you can hear the rejections when she went from city to city it's a thing that she was able to transform into music and it's hard its soft it's heavy it's light it's wrong it's right all wrapped up in every performance she's ever given It's Nina
This song sung by Nina touches the core of my soul. Superb!
Absolutely incredible! Best cover ever of this song. Thankyou for posting all this!
NINAAAAAA!!!💪💪💪😮😦😨😍😢😭
me too! its for a slavonic studies course, but i just fell in love with this song. ninas voice is beautiful
Anybody Here From Mali Music “Little Lady” 😭 I Had To Find The Song In His Background It Was Beautiful 🥰 .
There is no one like Nina Simone. She is a brilliant individual and musician!
you can see she's passionate about it
I love her
she's a second mom for me
all her songs means something.
I am falling for Nina all over again so great an interpretor she loved her since the 60's
glory to the high priestess of soul...such a powerhouse of a human being...ill always be in love with her...
It's just a different feel than Joplins cover. Both are excellent musicians and legends in their own right. Doesn't make one better than the other, I just prefer Janis. I'd like to hear Tori cover this song.
i saw her at the beacon in june of 2000. she was amazing.
Genius
yes, U'RIGHT. Janis as Nina has a wonderful voice.Each one has her own style. However, this song is soooo beautiful. I
te amo nina
This is sublime, even given the clearly troubled Ms Simone here. Thank you for the upload.
this version is all about it... the feeling... JJ just sings a song, but Nina Simone grabs your heart and holds onto it while performing this tender song... I am so in love with this song!!!
thank you...nina is my love, from years ago.
Amazing how she says "liberated little girl blue" Not "unhappy little girl blue"...truly amazing!!!!
And then that piano play before the snowdrop line!!...So Moving!!!
Can anyone tell me what Moja is?
Najara Beoulve Moja means 'one' in Swahili.
mybe this political movement of the 70´s?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_for_Justice_in_Africa
whaou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good one
Another song to sample
@antigauche
One of those that didn't "get" her was my father, not fully anyway. Tom Waits is similar: they can come on too strong & different .. The trick is to balance the gustier, ballsier songs with their ballads. Personally I don't think you can fully appreciate the sweeter-toned songs without understanding the rougher diamonds...
'The things a crow puts in it's nest
They are always things he finds that shine best'
Astoundingly subtle
Brilliant yet magical zen🍷
Totally.
Nina isnt well here
I can't watch these clips they make me realise how sad bi-polar illness really is
she went onto very strong medication soon after this but never spoke publicly about her manic-depression
she seems angry and high as hell here.
this is not the song. And tho she plays well (as usual), you can tell she's really not wanting to sing this song.
Wow! This woman is very interesting with extremely strong culture. This performance is so powerful
how strange that i should discover this song around Christmastime with the whole Good King Wenceslas theme going on (altho i know the theme predates the hymn).... Nina truly is timeless :)
PURE GENIUS...POSSESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF JAZZ; IMPROVISATION CALIBRATED BY ORDER.
Nina recorded this in her first album, I believe in 1957. The whole album was recorded in one day. It is BAD. The Bethlehem Recording. My mind split when I heard this one evening at a friend's in LA. I haven't been the same since...
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RENDITIONS OF THE 20TH CENTURY......LIGHTENING SPLENDID.....THE LAST NOTES ARE DIVINE... SALUTE L'ARTIST...
There is no comparison between Janis and Nina. Both were great, end of story. Why there are no women like this before??
When did I ever say that I didn't like or wanted to diminish Nina Simone? I love Nina Simone, she is my favorite artist because of a diverse set of reasons. I reiterate, don't say she was born with talent. People used to say that black people had "natural talent" back in the day because they couldn't understand that black people could work hard, so of course it was natural. Nina Simone, again, worked her ass off to become who and what she was and represents. I still feel no shame, and who is we?
I LOVE THIS WOMAN ! SHE HAS SUCH A STRONG PRESENCE AND HER COMMAND OF THE PIANO IS MAGNIFICENT I LOVE JANIS AND NOW I LOVE NINA TWO GREAT ARTISTS WE DONT HAVE THIS LUXURY ANYMORE THESE DAYS IS ALL ABOUT LOOKS AND NO TALENT WHA A PITY
Nina has an amazing voice, no doubt. It's soft and melodic in this version; however for me, I prefer Janis Joplin's blues rendition of this song. Regardless, in terms of style/genre, Nina did an awesome job.
Wow...I was looking for the Janis version of this, but I'm very glad i bumped into this version.
I find it hard.. now n 2019; .i love her & TONES
Thank you : )
tuyet voi!
"And if you compare this version to Janis' version, you are comparing apples to bananas."
Indeed. As a Janis fan and someone who is listening to Ninas' version for the first time, I must say that I love this! Such a brilliant woman
The first 8 bars of this song were sampled by Lemar on "wish that I could tell you how I really feel" a enitre song from just eigth bars. Wow.
@lopezlatino I agree,they are two deferent song jus lyrics are the same and they 're both great
amazing id never heard this song til i watched the czech film little girl blue the other day. and its just a stunning song
What a genius she is...
@jessiep02
she was severly bipolar...you never knew what to expect with her live shows
improvisational classical piano! She has other worldy skills, an her piano is always so lonely and honed in.
I've never been so turned on and heartbroken at the same time.
Nina Simone prodigio de mujer. Gracias por compartir ❤️
Espectacular impresionante hermosa
Tungbgs... you´re absolutely right... apples and bananas! tks 4 the post.
thanks for the tip, ill definitely get that-'i wish i knew how...' is one of my fave songs
How can anyone doubt about God-gifted people when listening to this brilliant woman?
There´s no version like the demo mono version in the Mercury song book! She rocks!!!
beautiful. just pure beauty.
Little Girl Nina Blues, genius of the art of playing and singing life as it is.
verdriet, eenzaamheid, kracht
elk verhaal heeft zijn eigen liedje
この曲は黄昏時から夕闇に染まる空を連想させる…美しい。
YOU ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD NINA. WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
Wow I've never heard this version. It's beautiful, but she is inhabitating a very dark space here. It hurts my heart.
No word to describe how Amazing this is !!!
@sprackles
really? Still think she was high as a kite.
SUCH GENIUS!!!!! but the Audience is giving her nothing!
BRILLIANT! EXCELLENT! SUPERB!
I like both, apples and bananas ^^ Thanks for sharing ;)
does anyone have the lyrics to this live improve? thanks.

Yeah it's Good King Wenceslas. hehe.
Utterly spellbinding.
