    She sang in my living room to my mother when I was 18. 1983. I had no ideas who she was at the time. My mother told me one day my dear you will. Today I paid just to listen to her daughter sing her music. My mom is 80 yrs. old my bday gift to her💕

      That's wonderful! Hugs to your mom!
      My Mom loved music and had good taste considering her age and where she grew up. I find myself listening more and more to these great singers. Mom was a fine singer, her own self, so she really appreciated Nina's talent. When I'm down and really missing her, I listen to the music she loved. This year she would have been 100, if she was still here.

      @@christianWilliams-pc4jn I beg to differ. No one compares to Nina Simone. During Whitney's time, there was Minnie Riperton, who had a voice like no other. Then Phyllis Hyman. Remember her? Natalie Cole. Mariah Carey. All great singers. All gone now except Miss Carey. Nina Simone is above them all. She sang songs that express the times. Have you heard Mississippi Goddam? Even the love songs that she sang touch the soul like no other. Her voice like that of Lady Day was different, not meant to capture the masses, but stand and let you know what is going on. You should really listen to her from A to Z. If you still disagreed, then so be it.

    If I told you that Nina Simone had suffered with Bipolar Disorder while she was with us, would there be individual hushes or gasps in this litany of the current 14,000 odd comments?
    Few here know, nor care that she did. Many of us are more aware of this mental illness today. It seems not only to add to her genius style of singing but since so many have sung this after her, nobody has come close to equal her version. Musicians today (and scores of years ago) have/had Bipolar Disorder and have created some of the greatest classical, and other music ever written. I often think it adds to their genius, their talent, their soul. I'm never surprised when a person this talented can suffer hell and still sound this fantastic. Good for you Nina!

      This sing is waaaaay to classy to be in a bond movie. She is talking about her freedom in this song. She was starting over fresh after her life took a terrible turn. Look up the lyrics and please listen to the song and i think you will no longer think this song belongs in a bond movie.

      juanyel white the song was actually first preformed by a British male, Cy Grant, so it would fit perfectly into a bond movie. Especially since Cy served in the Royal Air Force (British military) like bond. Next time do your research before shutting down someone’s idea

      juanyel white you could even say the birds in the sky could be resembled by the Air Force. New day/dawn could be the end of a world war. Fish could be the navy. (Highly unlikely, the TWO writers probably just meant nature) but just a thought.

    Feeling Good

    This has got to be one of the dopest songs ever. I feel she has not been given her “just dues”. More artists should aspire to create music such as this, music that you can actually feel. Not just something to dance or make love to. There’s only a few artists like Nina Simone who through there voice and cadence can inspire self reflective thoughts.

    A coisa mais linda que meu ex disse para mim foi: "Você é a personificação da liberdade que Nina Simone descreve na música feeling good" 🌻💞🌻

    Birds flying high
    You know how I feel
    Sun in the sky
    You know how I feel
    Breeze driftin' on by
    You know how I feel
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    For me
    And I'm feeling good
    I'm feeling good
    Fish in the sea
    You know how I feel
    River running free
    You know how I feel
    Blossom on a tree
    You know how I feel
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    For me
    And I'm feeling good
    Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know
    Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
    Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
    And this old world is a new world
    And a bold world
    For me
    For me
    Stars when you shine
    You know how I feel
    Scent of the pine
    You know how I feel
    Oh, freedom is mine
    And I know how I feel
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    It's a new life
    For me
    And I'm feeling good
    I'm feeling good
    I'm feeling so good
    I feel so good
