FIRST TIME HEARING Nina Simone Feeling Good REACTION

[@laughingachilles]

Some singers move your heart, but Nina moves your soul.

[@dwoehrma]

The documentary "What happened Miss Simone" will blow your mind. Every one should know this womans story.

[@GinMae]

Haven't yet seen it, but will seek it out - Thanks, Dean!

[@bethneubacher8985]

Good referral.

[@okay5045]

It is so good and so sad. Musical genius

[@billolsen4360]

What a voice! I never get tired of this song.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

It does my heart good to see you young guys listening to old classics like this.

[@nickblack4661]

Like yourself , it’s good to watch but with a disappointment in my heart that i’m not hearing those classics again for the first time and feeling the hairs on the back of my neck rise 😢

[@chrisjessop4073]

Nina is a legend Also reccomend Etta James Billi Holiday

[@SLEPhoto]

Yes, Etta & Billie for sure!

[@farfromperfek]

Love Etta James

[@markhardwicke5345]

Ella Fitzgerald Louis Armstrong Sarah Vaughan Nancy Wilson Dinah Washington Billy Eckstine You've tapped into one of the deepest veins of American music, and once you immerse yourself it will be damned hard to go back to what you've always listened to before.

[@loveit7484]

Yes!!! Etta is great!

[@bangmon1000]

yes

[@DavidB-2268]

Now try her version of Sinnerman, Mississippi Goddamn, or just about anything else by her.

[@Justaperson354]

In my opinion Nina’s sinnerman is the only version. She adds soul and her amazing piano talents that simply, again my opinion, are just unmatchable even by the original artist of the song. She made that song as far as I’m concerned

[@TheDivayenta]

Mississippi God Damn is a must by her. She was a musical genius , jazz and classical pianist and civil rights activist .

[@johnsample7391]

Billie Holiday "Strange Fruit"

[@karahamlett56]

I rather Nina someone's version

[@thethesaxman23]

Nina was and remains one of the very best!! You should check out her version of Here Comes The Sun! One of the best Beatles covers ever recorded

[@fourtails1192]

You hit gold with Nina...she is immortal!

[@johnmaltbie377]

“Don’t let me be misunderstood” The song was written for her in 1964

[@AGDinCA]

I get chills every.damn.time. 💜

[@evilclowntra]

🌟Nina Simone - *I PUT A SPELL ON YOU* 🌟...Stay safe 😷&💗 Much Love~😈🔺🦋

[@MariaCarabin]

This!!!!!!

[@farfromperfek]

A hypnotic voice RIP Nina. Still recommending Chicago

[@paulhumphrey7299]

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I've never heard this before either! Thanks to all the people who suggested this. INCREDIBLE!!! Where have I been missing this beautiful voice. I could listen to this all day. You might like Tracy Chapman. I love her. Tracy Chapman - Fast Car Tracy Chapman -Fast Car Tracy Chapman Fast Car

[@helgar791]

Her original versions of "Mississippi Goddamn" and "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" are such classics they need to be heard. But it's her cover of "My Baby Just Cares For Me" that she is most remembered for. One of the original strong black women who spoke out about the struggle. This song is a cover of the 1964 Anthony Newley song, but after her version everyone has since copied this arrangement. Nina made this Broadway song her own, and it became about the collective struggle of us black peoples around the world.

[@sarcana9377]

Nina's voice and her story-telling with full of emotions... perfect.

[@bart1506]

Nina Simone is a treasure! You should check out Billie Holiday singing Strange Fruit. Make sure you have the lyrics. Both are super powerful, kick ass women! 🔥🤯

[@erickchacon1816]

Nina is a goddess

[@justtrust426]

LEGEND!

[@sandratherrien5388]

Thank you for reacting to this amazing, talented, beautiful singer! I love how you recognize greatness when you hear it, keep up the great reactions!

[@ritchey635]

Liked it before watching, Nina is love Nina is life! Thank you!

[@bamagyrl1849]

I love Nina. She had a very interesting life. I recommend that you check out her documentary in your free time one day. She also did a lot for the Civil Rights Movement.

[@robhtp3817]

You can never go wrong listening to Nina Simone. I love how she gets down on the piano and even more so with her vocals. I was blessed to catch her 2002 concert in Los Angeles a year before she passed. I’m definitely glad I did!!!

[@Majoofi]

Never get enough Nina Simone.

[@82metalchic]

Any time I listen to her music I get instant chills. She was so iconic. I absolutely love her.

[@tyger166]

So so happy you reacted to this song. Just everything about it is perfection, the lyrics, the music, the voice, the emotion. Great to listen to right after waking up to get you happy and pumped for the day.

[@maryrobbins4087]

I love love love your reaction to this song James ❤️ especially when you said "Come on Nina" hahaha you put a big smile on my face!

[@maryrobbins4087]

James you reacted to the great Nina Simone!!!! Thank you! I love love love your reaction James ❤️

[@kenvannorman6126]

First time listening also. Wow, it's all I can say.

[@gazt8926]

Nina Simone - ‘I wish I knew how it feels to be free’ is a must listen. Studio version 👍

[@davisworth5114]

Nina is an American original, react to "Everyone's Gone to the Moon", thanks.

[@philbell5774]

That voice!

[@vandergrad]

I love this song, no matter who sings it, but her voice is just... WOW. That's some seriously smoky soul. Whew!!

[@melvingrassel588]

Sinnerman. I have to say that I like when you feel the need to hear something again you don't hesitate to do so. Nina is also playing the piano on this track.

[@katherinegilbert-espada3715]

Thanks! Great reaction!! She is one of the all time greats!!

[@fazlinlesar1301]

Love this song of Nina ❤️

[@noelleparris9451]

What a loss to the world when she died. A musical genius and amazing woman❤ Great reaction 👍🏾

[@roseunderwood6298]

My Dad was into Nina Simons and so was our next store neighbor. I got to hear her often. She was an Icon. Just amazing! The Flower 🌹

[@christinerobinson548]

Seriously, do a deep dive into her discograpjy.

[@umamitea8241]

I.... LOVE Nina Simone, thank you thank you!

[@jeffreyetherton3185]

My favourite song by Nina is My Baby Just Cares for me. Love to see a reaction to that

[@shelleysparks210]

Nina’s voice was what I think heaven must sound like 💗

[@flyngalan]

A diamond song catalogue from an extraordinary performer and pianist and a legendary life story! You've struck gold!

[@richardw4336]

Nina is very special and any song of hers is worth a listen. Some of my favourites that I'd love to see you react to - Wild Is The Wind - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - I Wish I knew How it Feels To Be free - Mississippi Goddamn - Pirate Jenny.

[@roymcmurtray9691]

The best singer ever. Ever

[@loveit7484]

Yeah! Play it again!

[@teresasilva14]

What a treasure!

[@dragonflyparade8143]

She was FABULOUS.

[@RS-et2hx]

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony reaction would be great

[@lizzyboo4206]

" a slave to money then you die." those lyrics changed the way i live my life.

[@GradyBroyles]

Nina Simone was a one of the best Jazz and Blues singers to ever have walked the Earth up there with Ella, Billie and Aretha

[@marielaveau5321]

Listen to her "Sugar In My Bowl". Life changing. 💜💚💛✌️

[@silversurfer8278]

Yep - Nina Simone is one of my favourite singers of all time. I think that this song reached no.6 in the UK charts in the 1960's.

[@jasonschropp15]

Such a beautiful voice, Nina Simone is such a classy lady. One of my favorite songs, great video, great reaction.

[@miriam8376]

Wild is the wind is my favorite of hers. Such a passionate song.

[@angelagreen778]

This song is on every playlist I have!

[@museborn7703]

is the closest I've heard to what I imagine mother earth sounds like singing. My heart fills to bursting at the sound . such Hope, such beauty and such hidden sorrow. the sunshine after the storm. words cannot do such power justice.

[@colibri1]

You should listen to "Mississippi Goddamn."

[@jackbutler2989]

Smokin Ms Nina GOAT ....RIP Legend....

[@angelagreen778]

Since you like this, find Bill Withers :Ain't no Sunshine!

[@tammybiddle7115]

This song is definitely a feel-good song. I love listening to it when I’m down because it’s so uplifting.

[@loveit7484]

Just made coffee and get to hear Nina first thing! WOOOOOO! LOVE IT!

[@randipearson4930]

That’s when Jazz was good !! Lv her .. unbelievable !! 👍❤️the voice tho !! Damn Nina you got this country girl in tears 😭 I ain’t even lying ..it was so good I felt it on my bones

[@promontorium]

Nina Simone: "Sinnerman" and "Ain't Got No, I Got Life". There are tons of great songs by her, but I've listened to those two hundreds of times and they always hit me hard.

[@lawrencekelli]

Singing like that and playing the piano! Amazing!

[@บาสตี้-ฝ2ห]

I Love you Miss Simone...

[@jasonpowley4913]

*goosebumps* everytime.

[@kurtadams3021]

Love love love this classic song ❤

[@loveworld7710]

Check Nina Simone documentary on Netflix. Great history lesson!!

[@ritchey635]

And yes always more Nina! Also and again child in time by deep purple! Really love your videos!

[@j4v1c]

Man I wish that song was longer. Glad you restarted it. What an incredible voice! Great choice. You ever check out Tower of Power "What is Hip?" Be a lot cooler if you did. (Name that movie reference.)

[@sonyalindee8676]

If I could like it again I would. The trombone caressed her voice like a prowling cat.😸

[@anxofernandez3344]

I would not call this R&B actually...I'd say it's more Jazz, very old school. This song could've been sang in some sort of private club or a cabaret in the 30s and 40s.

[@RyoCaliente]

I would say it's pure soul music.

[@lizzyboo4206]

My favorite song of all time !

[@juliecollins1486]

I love this song by her!!!

[@Minceir]

There was and is like Nina Simone ❤️

[@meghanmonroe]

I can't help but see all the handmaids lined up and marching down the street to this song. That show sure knows how to use a well-placed soundtrack.

[@gizmo5925]

Nina Simone was a genius. Mississippi Goddamn. My Baby Just Cares for Me.

[@shelleysparks210]

She paved the way for Aretha & Alicia...RIP Queen Nina 💜

[@tfoxabides]

The Queen! Nina the greatest. Singer, pianist, icon and a pioneer not just for music but also racial equality and mental health awareness.

[@cmj8304]

Amazing song.... sampled soooo many times...

[@loveworld7710]

Great reaction

[@princev1bes166]

Nina Simone , one of Princes inspirations

[@babeltrot]

Someday we will sing this song when true freedom comes

[@petrichor649]

One of best voices

[@colibri1]

She was kinda pre-RnB, classically trained but worked as a jazz singer, what used to be called a "torch singer." Then in the sixties, she started covering more topical issues, and those songs are my favorites.

[@leahdoerr731]

I believe it was Dr Dre that stated "if I got my Nina... then you know I'm straight trippin!" FACTS

[@carebear1143]

YES. YES. YESSSS. THE TRUTH.

[@tomatolady11]

YES!!!!! I Put a Spell on You...Ne Me Quitte Pas...Sinnerman...Four Women...Pirate Jenny. My favorite artist of all time. There is a good documentary on her life produced a few years ago entitled "What Happened Miss Simone"? It is definitely worth a watch.

[@layde1]

What a fantastic reaction!

[@roryemmons7929]

I love Nina. Anyone who doesn't feel something just listening to her is dead inside. Should check out her others songs. My favorite is "I got it bad (and that ain't good), I want a little Sugar in my bowl, Sinnerman, and Aint got no.

[@stefaniebrauer128]

Lauryn Hill did a FABULOUS tribute to her during Nina’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tribute !!

[@janeedmunds7582]

Classic feels!

[@chrisbradley1192]

"My Baby Just Cares For Me" by her has a great animated video to it.

[@jaimecontreras6752]

Congrats on discovering your rich cultural roots on R & B / jazz singing.

[@bemused9522]

I think you will LOVE Nina Simone's cover of the Beatles "Here Comes the Sun" legendary.

[@xtiants]

Dude! Nina Simone is amazing and fearless! Way ahead of her time. Definitely check out Sugar In My Bowl, Do What You Gotta Do, and To Love Somebody. Please, you gotta get back to this sister! You will not be disappointed.

[@terriertz6837]

This is my favorite song by Nina. Perfection. Please react to Sinnerman by Nina Simone. Thanks.
