Once you get into Nina Simone it becomes an obsession. No one else can sing and play like Nina.

[@zennenn]

I love the dynamics of the piano in this, she is such a master.

[@chewiebacka4377]

Rainy day, candles, a glass of wine, and a great stereo system pulling the best from it. That's Nina Simone time.

[@bjb123ch]

She was a wonderful, one of a kind artist, with a fascinating back-story. Seeing her in concert was awesome, how she could be playing one melody and singing another, I still can't figure how that is possible . She was the original diva..she could be really abrasive and didn't suffer fools gladly.

[@alexanderbeta-werburghii6176]

More Nina please. This is a beautifully simple song but you'll find she made a lot of powerful ones too, like 'Sugar in My Bowl' and 'Strange Fruit'.

[@carlpeterkirkebo2036]

Feeling good is a must to cover.

[@helenchristie6530]

Isn’t it just the most perfect song? Honestly it makes you smile, feel the love & erm sing along with the piano…plinky plonk plinky plonk

[@heatherturner6955]

This is why your channel stands out from the rest... You branch out and try all genres! ❤ Love that voice. Love Big Band (what my grandparents loved). Popcorn analogy... ❤️ Can see myself just lying on the front room floor , laying by the speakers with string lights on or my timer candles on, this on full blast. Some parts of piano solo reminded me of Peanuts music. My friends and I go to Twilight Jazz by the Lake - this is my favorite type! Thank you for bringing this!!!! That debate at the end is way to long a conversation... That belongs on Nick's Real Life views. 😂. Nat King Cole - Feels Like Being in Love Frank Sinatra - You Can't Take That Away from me Babe Mason - Play it Again Bing Crosby - I'll Be Seeing You

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

I think what makes her sound so unique is 2 musical aspects, her strong but smooth voice and her jazz piano with classical tinges. Her playing reminds me of Dave Brubeck, very classical music-influenced.

[@garyatwood-mendez6465]

I love this! You have to hear Nina Simone’s version of “Feeling Good.” It is amazing and shows off her chops as a singer. BTW, I would also love it if you reacted to Steve Perry’s “She’s Mine.”

[@De-mi1rr]

Nina Simone is legendary! Absolute gold standard. ✨️✨️✨️💖

[@mamaflush9945]

"Ain't Got No (I Got Life) -Nina Simon" this is a live performance. Nina was an amazing artist. My aunt used to love her tunes, and I grew up listening to a lot of her music. I'm also a North Carolinian too. And there has been some pretty amazing artists that came from NC. Fun reaction fellas thanks for sharing ❤

[@novacrowsnest597]

This type of music puts my mind directly into a fine wine bar, or cocktail bar. Classy to the bone.

[@brxee]

Backlash Blues is a must.

[@margaretdora9127]

Sade singing "Smooth Operator " is a good one. A good 1960's is Bobby Darin singing Mack The Knife.

[@helgar791]

Nina was originally trained as a classical pianist and later switched. Her cover of "Feelin' Good" (written by Anthony Newley who also wrote "Who Can I Turn To" and "Candy Man") is the most copied arrangement of the song. After her, every performer who performs the song does her arrangement. Her original versions of "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Mississippi Goddamn", and "Sinnerman" are musts...and yes, that is Central Park on the cover.

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

Oh yeah, her version of "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is iconic! Hope the guys eventually react to it too!

[@bry8784]

OML - once you start listening to Ms Nina you cannot stop - What a great choice of music guys

[@dexstewart2450]

There's a song by the Welsh band, The Stereophonics, called: 'step on my old size 9's and I'll take you round'. It's a guy telling his girl to keep dancing - and it always makes me think of this track

[@fjmoralesv1]

Nina’s contributions are immeasurable. She was a classically trained pianist and a great vocalist. You guys need to hit some more jazz & blues

[@loriannrichardson7644]

Absolutely love Nina, and love, love this song. You should check out her song, "Baltimore," "Sugar in My Bowl," and "My Father." She has so much music, she is arguably one of the best who ever did it!!!

[@babylonsister118]

I bought my daughter-in-law a machine that plays music in utero. It was great! She played ALL types of music!

[@MikeStarr1000]

Late 50's, early 60's jazz is the epitome of "cool", think Miles, Coltrane, etc... nice choice!

[@user-oo8tr3kd6h]

Another jazz icon to check out is Ella Fitzgerald. Three songs to recommend are "Blue Skies" which really showcases her singing style, "A Fine Romance" the definitive version of this classic song, & "Remember" which she sings in 2 different styles. Another jazz group to check out is Manhattan Transfer, recommend listen to "Study in Brown". With both of these artists vocals are the main thing. Thanks for the reactions to Steely Dan & Al Stewart!

[@terriertz5134]

Yes. Must listen to more Nina Simone like Feeling Good, Sinnnerman, and Mississippi Goddam by her. Fetal brain development is enhanced by listening to classical music in the womb, also cows produce more milk playing classical music in the barn. Another iconic jazz piece you should listen to is Take Five by Dave Brubeck.

[@lulubelle6253]

Been wondering where the ladies at too! Was going to suggest Lana del Rey's new single A&W or for something old Joni Mitchell's Edith & the kingpin. I think you guys would enjoy Boz Scaggs Miss Sun or Toto's Georgy porgy which has a similar vibe. Really enjoying your sonic adventures guys, longtime lurker finally subbed 😂

[@lulubelle6253]

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong do a great version of Night and Day also in this genre

[@brucemarshall9521]

A good uncluttered song from a different era.

[@Jude_196]

I sure can SECOND Betty Davis - They Say I'm Different!! SO GOOD! Nina Simone is ONE of a KIND....and, SO is BETTY! HUGS, GUYS!!! THANKS for the REACTIONS! ❤

[@MischaGER]

When the first Bee gees tune is on start - so overdue 🔥on your channel 20 #1 legendary all time classics

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

One of the first things they mentioned is that "It's calming," and "It's peaceful." I wanted to share that the key of A Nina uses here (in fact all of the keys past F-natural) are the "cool" keys. From C to F are the "warm" keys (C beginning the spectrum as fire: red). So, recorded in A, which i see and indigo/blue-violet, I see the lower note from this A-flat is pure, cold, blue, and also spherical in shape. A-flat is the most distant sounding note, and I always here A-flat (the note itself) as twinkling stars. What's interesting is that in ALL of here live recordings of this song she lowers the song from A (blue-violet) to A-flat (blue). Blue is psychologically calming, and i believe that A-flat does the same thing, though when I try to argue this certain types of musicians get really annoyed--even enraged, saying that's it's New Age BS. A final note on A-flat/blue is to compare this to Sting's "Every Breath You Take" where Stings sings that he will follower her "every breathe you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you." Sting actually wrote this song while stalking his ex wife, driving around her apartment where she moved in with her new boyfriend. "Every Breath You Take" is even loosely known as the "Stalker Song." If we compare the lyrics we see that Nina is sining not TO her man, but simply about him. Therefore she is removed in her thoughts. And this mood of reflection and observation is conjured up emotionally by A-flat in her live recordings. A-natural is a violet-blue, and still retains some of the effect of blue (A-flat), but A is more about expansion or sort of moving with or being carried by something. Incidentally, on my own paige here I have taken this track in A and converted it to A-flat experience here incredible studio recording in the same key she chose to sing it live. The key of blue. Be well! - _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

Also, they guys were mentioning about the "scary" or "creepy" sort of feel of the song. This is actually accurate because A-flat is also the key of death. Cold, frozen, icy blue; the coldness of space itself and the twinkling stars that bare it. Singing in A-flat is to BE a twinkling star. But when someone sings to you from beyond, then, yes, that can be a scary thing. Ha.

[@elainemarsh5170]

I respect her enormously, although there are female jazz singers I prefer, especially Ella Fitzgerald. ( I believe the LP cover is Central Park, NYC)

[@jgsrhythm100]

I would have suggested Nina Simone- Feeling Good. It's more representative of her.

[@gablen23]

That's what I thought too.

[@brokenmummy232]

I love Y'all doing this one and discussing all the instrument sounds and feelings it invoked and you made me think instantly of a great song from the movie soundtrack Serendipity called "Cool Yule" by Louis Armstrong taking place at Christmas time I in New York and I was hoping you would give this one a review I know y'all will really dig it though it is a faster pace it has all the qualities of this song and more and I know you will be blown away by it. Thanks 3 Amigos and Please don't forget the Bozz Scaggs man in Miss Sun I know you will be blown away for a 3rd time by his smoothness. 😎

[@tejida815]

Mel’s last name is pronounced Tor-may.

[@jodifox2283]

Thanks for the Nina Simone reaction ❤ Recommendation Fleetwood Mac "The chain" April Wine "I like to rock" Alicia Keys "Troubles, Fallin, I wanna rock with you" Steely Dan "Peg, hey 19, Reelin in the years, Deacon Blues, Babylon Sisters and FM" Candy Dulfer"Sax a go" Ted Nugent "Stranglehold" Fourplay any song

[@MrBengiskhan]

To experience the intensity of Nina Simone, I suggest her "Pirate Jenny". (1964 Live version is the best.)

[@allisonyoung4007]

👏👏She's an incredible talent~ If you come back to her, my suggestion is "I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl"~😉

[@SandsDolphin]

You *absolutely* have to listen to this lady. Same vibe, see Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind (Live at Montreux 1975) video, man, she will blow you away!

[@gusrose62]

❤

[@dexstewart2450]

A Lady that had the good goddam right to be the Diva she was

[@MrLittlelud4]

Great, never gets old. In my opinion. Jazzyish suggestion, 'The more I see you' by Chris Montez is great old one.

[@regolf.d6519]

You have to check out the Haley Reinhart and Jeff Goldbloom collaboration on this song…. It is unbelievable

[@suemiller9458]

It’s undoubtedly due to some flawed chromosome but I never learned to appreciate jazz. But she certainly sounds like she was a trailblazer on many levels. And her voice was uniquely beautiful. I love not only the diversity of the music played on this channel but also your genuine appreciation for all forms of music. It can be infectious at times 😊 So, this seems like a good time to offer some suggestions. 1. Molly Hatchet - Dreams I’ll Never See. Way different from Flirtin’ With Disaster but just as good. It has a bit of a sexy rhythm to it. And a great Southern Rock guitar solo. 2. Dirty Honey - Rolling 7’s 3. The Blue Stones - Shakin’ Off The Rust

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

If you want a faster Nina track, check out "Funkier Than a Mosquito's Tweeter".

[@thomasdempsey721]

You need more Nina Simone on your channel. Try "African Mailman", "Mood Indigo", "Chauffeur", "I Put A Spell On You", "Mississippi, Goddamn", "Ain't Got No", "Sugar In My Bowl", "Sea Lion", "Feeling Good", "Little Liza Jane"

[@garyatwood-mendez6465]

Also check out Cecile Mclorin Salvant’s “Exactly Like You.” She is a brilliant jazz singer.

[@PanarchyInTheUK]

Maybe get into some more jazz? For very accessible entryways, try Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, Afrique by Count Basie and Far East Suite by Duke Ellington. Ellington's Afro Bossa is also excellent

[@nataliephillips9494]

so good

[@ears4days]

A couple of jazz/funk jams: the 13 minute live version of "Nyack" by the band Lettuce, "On Broadway" (live version) by George Benson :)

[@phantomreg]

Nina is so awesome you should listen to sinnerman

[@iansunderland7444]

Guys - if interested in more female vocalists listen to some Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain live version - you might see a familiar face in the audience :) Etta James - At Last is a classic MORE Nina Simone for instance Sinnerman; Billie Holliday - Strange Fruit or Edith Piaf - anything!!!!

[@richardkoehler2253]

OK, It's been a while. Time for more Al Stewart. Roads To Moscow, On the Border, Running Man, Constantinople, Paint By Numbers, One Stage Before, Broadway Hotel, Almost Lucy, Merlin's Time, The One That Got Away (for Ryan specifically). Or how about some more Steely Dan. FM, Haitian Divorce, The Royal Scam, Dr. Wu, etc. Too many to list.

[@greenacreshomestead8302]

Recorded at 23 years old.

[@loriannrichardson7644]

Wow, I didn't know that. Truly a talent!

[@jgsrhythm100]

Betty Davis- They Say I'm Different ( 74) The nastiest funkiest lady you'll ever hear ❤❤ Nina Simone as well

[@John_Chu]

Betty was Miles Davis' second wife.

[@jgsrhythm100]

@@John_Chu Yes and she influenced him as well.

[@nicolascarey6330]

Nina Simone did not take private piano lessons. She passed out top of her year from Guillard and was efused by whoever she applied to afterwards. They awarded her an honorary degree after she died.

[@SusanaLaExploradora]

How about some more women on your channel: Carly Simon, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Etta James, Blondie, Heart, and on and on and on. So many choices out there.

[@panzerschreckpete]

Once you go full Simone you never go back. She was wonderful. But you have to listen to Mississippi Goddam.

[@gablen23]

I would have preferred to start with "Feeling Good", or even "Ain't Got No"(live), they show a lot more his talent and his vocal qualities. This is a standard jazz piece, not very exciting in my opinion.

[@davidbentley145]

Mel Torme= pronounced Mel Tor-may

[@AjaxCaper]

I love the commitment to getting more women on the channel. I love some Nina Simone. But this is pretty old fashioned sounding🥴.

[@leetroy3129]

Not my cuppa tea. 👎✌️💖

[@loriannrichardson7644]

Not everyone recognizes great music. 🤷‍♀️

[@voxandlocks]

Three songs you've gotta check out by Nina Simone: "Feelin' Good" , "I Put A Spell On You" and "Mississippi Godamn".
