Nina Simone - To Love Somebody (Audio)

[@muckaxe]

The pain, the regret, all the emotions of failure in love. She knew how to take a song and internalize it and reflect it back❤

[@matthewzin]

Well put. But I'd be remiss if I didn't also point out the stank that she and the band put on this tune. It's so bad ass.

[@dougfinken4762]

This version of this song is incredible. One of thr greatest songs I have ever heard. Nina Simone is amazing.

[@pandbongoso7796]

To correct some of the comments: The Song was written by the Gibbs (Bee Gees) initially in the style of and for Otis Redding. unfortunately Ottis died in a plane crash before recording it. the Bee gees recorded and released it and then a number of good artist gave their version of it. For me, the best one is Nina Simone's (this one). I always wonder how Ottis would have rendered it.

[@Tony-kr7jk]

Otis would probably have did such a beautiful version gives me chills

[@HeyYou-ii3kp]

I agree with you. This version is the best one!

[@jacquelinedunn4345]

I think Micheal Bolton’s version, I reckon would be pretty close to how Otis would have sounded like.. Teskey Brothers would absolutely fill that role though!!

[@TheDjwalton]

I'd love to hear The Teskey Brothers do this! ​@@jacquelinedunn4345

[@purplestuff]

I get goosebumps imagining Otis' take of this.

Nina Simone es la voz principal de un coro de Ángeles Negros, hijos del Dolor y la Esperanza. Nina es la ternura y la fuerza hecha canción.

This is one of those tracks that I can listen to 6 times in a row without it getting stale. And I often have. There was a point in my life when this was crucial to getting through my day. The sound mix is great and the drumming is superb. I can't remember ever hearing better drumming on any recording that might be considered a rock track. Nina Simone comes from jazz, but I would put this in rock for lack of a better category. I learned about this version from a story on This American Life on NPR. Someone had left his car out on the street for a long period while he was away. He came back to find that it had been broken into and apparently slept in- he assumed by a homeless person. The temporary resident left some odds and ends behind him when he left, and one of them was a mix tape. So the car's owner decided to play the mix tape- this was the first track I think. At any rate, it was played as the outgoing music for the story and I took notice. Soon it was downloaded and became part of my life. So thank you, anonymous homeless person. You changed my life.

You're fucking right.

The only problem is if you listen on 🎧 you only get the drum and horn in the left ear and the main and backing vocal on the right

Featured beautifully in "Love The Coopers"

[@heathergibson3590]

Great minds think alike! I listen to this masterpiece everyday. Truly beautiful

[@Cuffski]

Peace, When I think of this I go back in time to thinking of my guys growing up in the hood on the south side of Chicago. Not realizing that some of them wouldn't even see a prom or the legal age to drink. No clue but when I hear this I reminisce of them and I thank my Creator for the gift of memory. If you got a friend, lover, sister, brother, parent or whoever is in your life or impacted you positively look to the Heavens and smile in their memory.

[@initialsGS]

Bee Gees. Much maligned. Much under rated.

[@pjgarcia2417]

You are right. They are the only artists ever to write and produce six consecutive number ones in the USA. During that same period, they also wrote and produced three straight chart-toppers for their brother, Andy. They are the only group to ever have five songs simultaneously in the US top 10. They rank 3rd in groups for the most hot 100 number one's in history. As of 2013, the Bee Gees had sold over two hundred million records, placing them in the top 10 of best selling artists of all time. And they wrote hits for other musicians as well. They were an incredible band.

[@pandbongoso7796]

The Bee gees are not under rated. They are loved and appreciated across the globe. Maligned, by who?

[@5871248]

Nina is superb as usual ...but the BAND,,,wow!

Great song. Love the Simone treatment...that drumming is a bit mental though! Shoving it on the hard right channel was an odd decision. Still, far more soulful than the somewhat tepid BeeGees version.

[@regaltip8A]

I am a big Bernard Purdie fan but he really overplays on this . Those reggae type fills are quite ridiculous for what is a ballad.

I find the drums on this utterly joyful ... It's like someone going into work and really enjoying themself. The bass player is having a great day as well. It's so much fun.
