Interesting. I played the video of Nina Simone playing/singing "Love Me or Leave Me" for my mother when she was about 102 and had the same reaction from her My Mom particularly liked the music of Bach and she would "put up" with jazz. I thought she would like the long Bach-like riff in the middle of "Love me or Leave Me". And she did like that. But she also loved the very jazzy part as well. My Mom died at 105 and I am now your Mother's age! But I did have my nine year old grand daughter listen to this piece and she really loved this! (I had given my grand daughter a child's level biography of Nina Simone that was written by a woman who lives in my apartment building.) My little grand daughter is now a fan of Nina Simone's music.

Couldn’t agree more. I’m watching that scene right now and immediately was blown away.

I used to think Harrison didn't deserve the Lennon-McCartney monster that made him famous. But now I think the Lennon-McCartney didn't deserve Harrison. This song is timeless.

I love Nina Simone. Saw her live in Central Park in 1967. She absolutely blew my mind and has been one of my most very favorite females singers ever since.

This kind of talent and emotion just doesn't come around anymore. Fan4life!

I think if everyone heard this song, the world would be a better place.

When I heard it for the first time, I was fascinated in an instant. I think that's what songs and singers that will last forever are like that.

Nina your a wonderful poet thanks.

You can hear Nina's soul when she sings. Her sadness bleeds through the notes.

My journey commenced in 1977 "Here comes the sun", I thought it was a great find only to find there was a world wide community that was ahead of me, I was last in line really. I've been on this journey till she passed on. I never once saw her on stage, but I saw her when she came to visit Mandela. I just wanted to give her a little note to say, "Thankyou."

this is one of the one hundred reasons why Nina Simone is one of the best singers ever.

Nina elevates Harrison's song to something even beyond Lennon and mccartney. The depth of soul in the lyrics cuts so deep as only the truth can. Harrison was truly one with God and he was conscious of it...and was not afraid to sing about it. Nina recognized this and was able to express and interpret his songs even better than George hmself could. It's like George was meant to write these songs for only Nina to sing.

Nina was a cover Queen who take anyone's song and make it her own. She covered Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, Paul Anka, Bob Dylan, Barbara Streisand, Mama Cass, Tina Turner, and many more. A consummate artist and one of the best live entertainers of our time, God Rest Her Soul. She is missed.

Well, that caught me out... I have often listened to Nina Simone, but this song got the tears flowing... quite unexpectedly.

This singing is exquisitely oozing “Soul”. It hugs my heart and brain and swing me back and forth like a baby in my mum’s arms. Same “being” experience as when listening to Um Kalthoum in Inta Umri. Thank you Nina for helping me see the “beauty that surrounds us”. You are definitely part of “The beauty”. However I feel deeply sad that you had to give so much to learn about “The beauty” and subsequently so generously and unselfishly pass it on to us. Be assured that I will pass it on to my child who I hope will pass it on to someone in the future. Thank you Nina Simone

I am in awe of Nina Simone I heard her on a "Juke Box" on the south side of San Antonio It was about 1973. Her mind was about a hundred years ahead of me. Rare as a Red diamond.
