Wiki:
Nina Simone in Concert is an album by singer/pianist/songwriter Nina Simone. It was her first album for the record label Philips and was made up of three live recordings in Carnegie Hall, New York City in March and April 1964 (previously, she had recorded Nina Simone at Carnegie Hall in 1963 for Colpix Records). This album marks the beginning of "Nina Simone, the Civil Rights singer" in her recording career (she had already incorporated the civil rights message in her performances). Included on the album are politically laden songs, most notably the self-written "Mississippi Goddam", released as a single at the time. But also "Old Jim Crow", "Go Limp" and the haunting "Pirate Jenny" contributed to the message in a covert or methaporical way.
Lyrics:
I left a note on his dresser
my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can I sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

This is one of the saddest songs I have ever heard and she does it so perfectly. She sings it like she's leaving her own note. I went out with this guy which didn't work out, but I'm grateful that he introduced me to this song.
In 1970, Nina didn't leave a note, but she did leave behind her wedding ring upon deciding to separate and eventually divorce her husband. Close enough, right? I'm sure there are other renditions of this song, but I don't need to hear them because I know none are better than Nina's. I'm sorry things hadn't panned out in your relationship. I am not in the happiest season of my own, and somehow, this gives me comfort.
so many covers but Nina so owns this song -- no one comes even close to her feelings
i ran across this song and i cant stop listening to it simply beautiful...and its a shame so called artist dont sing like this anymore
many comments mentioning that they don't sing like that anymore. I think the problem is so many female singers are trying to outdo each other by trying to sing as high as they can. As If all that mattered was range! In the process they have forgotten raw emotion. Today's divas are too caught up in the technique and not enough of spilling your guts out. Obviously Nina didn't have to blast us with this song, and that's where the power is.
I asked him who is his favorite singer and he said Nina Simone. We have been married for twelve years. We love you Nina!
TODAY I SAY NOW WE DONT HAVE MUSIC,WE MISS ALL THIS FEELINGS .
One of the best haunting tunes for the man who does not treat his wife right. Now a good song if you are that man. This is a great art song!
love her and billie to pieces. this is my favorite song of hers may she rest in paradise
The tremble in her voice. She is heartbroken and leaving but still she cares enough for him to be careful about smoking in bed because she will be gone. Gut wrenching goodbye.
Wheneever I sing along with this song, I can't keep myself from crying. The song makes the process so poignant. such a wonderfully sad song.
Wow ... I could close my eyes and picture myself at that concert (and I did). Excellent recording of an amazing woman. Perfect.
Very good but kd lang does a very beautiful version as well
@frankieluvs Agreed. She was one of the greats. The Goddess. Much bigger than just her Art, which was boundless.
I
always feel her music in my soul
So sad and lovely theme, great voice... makes you feel inside the song
This music paralyses me...utterly amazing.
Thank you for posting this. IMHO there's few that even come close to her voice or playing., such power and feeling whew1
Beautiful, thank you. World premiere of Nina at theatre squared Fayetteville Ar. Destined for Broadway!
My favorite, this is about leaving a codependent relationship. Sometimes you must go so they can grow.
BEAUTIFUL!
such a tresure i think everyone should listen to such a great voice makes me sad in a way
Sweet and oh so sad. Nina is a goddess!
stunning live version! 1964
Makes me shiver
Phenominal!
Beautiful Nina :)
Fantastic
She kill me every time i heard this song,.. and i love die, lisening Nina.
QUEEN
muito bom,é um tipo de música que não pertence a uma única cultura,é a verdadeira música universal.
so fucking incredible
oh.oh.oh. oh. heaven hell and in between all in one note.
@frankieluvs There are very few musical legends I've seen live (Bob Dylan being one). I was fortunate enough to see Nina Simone a few years before she passed away. It was a moving experience, for sure.
nina forever!
@frankieluvs I couldn't have said it better. It feels good to know that others feel the same.
oh wow.
@grai Yep!!
@frankieluvs well said. Thank you. I could not have said it better.
We're still around bub.
@TheJazzStreet Peggy Lee did it originally. This was the first time I heard any other version. Peggy was amazing but Nina gives every song she sings a new level of emotion. I might like her version better.
I suppose the 5 people that dislike came here on accident. Beautiful song. The reason why people sound the same now is because they are afraid to use their soul to sing.
The craziest rap video you will see all year!
@poikoplas You got that right. No originality, everyone sounds the same. And the masses are just eating it up. Sad
i thought this song was from peggy lee... but i love nina too
HAHAHA ..I love your comment GRAi!
For Brian (Frosty) , who never smoked in bed, and brushed his teeth with soap, just for me, because I didn't like the taste of smoke. One evening he played Nina, how could I ever forget - this was the version, it's unmistakable. You must miss your ciggies up there, Brian?
4:38 she looks soooo beautiful i wish black women wud wear their hair like that today nappy and happy.

i'm trying! :)
i'm a performer, and nina's spirit has rubbed off on me.
i'm trying to bring back that TRUE art.
where what you sang about, and the emotions you emoted were REAL and not this fake, cookie-cutter stuff.
i'm trying...
;)
definitely not a "fuck you"! more like an "I will always love you"
