This was recorded at the Village Gate in 1961 with Nina Simone on vocals and piano, Al Shackman on guitar, Chris White on bass, and Rob Hamilton on drums. It was later included on at least one of Simone's albums.
I always thought this song would sound amazing as a slow blues tune & this proves Nina was a master in her field. Chills. Love love love this version so much.
This was my first introduction to her... randomly on some old mix cd an old friend had...it was just playing in the background whilst we were smoking out... it changed my life.. and her grip has never left me since.. that's what powerful music can do to one...
I love her live version, which is a faster tempo with great piano. This version with the delicate but perfect piano brings me to tears. This is Nina at her greatest.
the very best version of this song to me... I remember a friend showing me this song years ago sitting around getting stoned and letting the song speak to me in deep ways nina is a very huge influence on me .. 2:37 powerful love that part
Anchor. This song - this exact version - remains an Anchor for my entire Soul to always be Humble, Contemplative, and Assured that Music shall always Save Me
Wow! This is the first time I've heard this lovely Nina Simone song! Thank you so much for sharing! It's great music! Too bad she never got any credit for this. It's truly haunting, and I love it.
"The House Of The Rising Sun" There is a house in New Orleans They call it the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl And me, oh God, I'm one If I had only listened of what my mama said I'd be at home today But bein' so young and foolish, my Lord Let a gambler lead me astray Now, my mother is a tailor She sews those new blue jeans And my sweetheart is a drunkard, Lord Drinks down in New Orleans Now the only thing a drunken man needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he's satisfied Lord, is when he's on the drunk Somebody go get my baby sister Tell her to do, not to do what I have done But shun that house in New Orleans They call it the Rising Sun Well, I'm goin' back to New Orleans My race is almost run Yes, I'm goin' back to spend my life Beneath, beneath, the rising sun There is a house in New Orleans They call it the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl And me, oh God, I'm one If I had only listened of what my mama said I'd be at home today But bein' so young and foolish, my Lord Let a gambler lead me astray
She was a very emotional, awesome singer. I don't know the details of her life, but she makes me remember Billie Holiday. Billie had a very hard, and short life in that men's world.
But NOT rare any more -- thanks to you. This is phenomenal -- thank you so much for it. (And especially for giving it to us in a reasonably hifi bitrate, too. Great artistry deserves no less.)
O quê eu posso fazer pra valorizar ainda mais essa criatura divina? Só posso dizer que mais do que meu pobre coração sente é impossível. I love you Nina. Deusa eternamente viva!!!
Eric Burdon did not write this song. I heard it first recorded in 1933 by Tom Clarence Ashley & Gwen Foster. It is a folk song. Georgia Turner recorded it with Alan Lomax in 1937.
Omg I heard a white guy sing it on American idol when I looked it up I asked for a black artist to listen sing it I was in literal tears this whole video it hit the very bottom of my heart..........
This feels like the last thing I'd hear before dying, as some ethereal being replays every shitty thing I've done before my eyes, and punishes my soul accordingly.
It's on one of her "Jazz Master" CD's and also an import from (I think) the Netherlands. I had both recordings but gave them away to women. I know. I have that weakness. JAMES
Never, never, never, do You understand !!! I will never turn around!!! Never!!! You're my World, You're my Planétaires, your my Liverpool and without You, I cannot live anymore !!! De you f...... understand my Loved one.
Nina Simon is closer to the original. Those four whte boys re-wrote the song and made a "rock" version. The song is about a girl, but the boy band version is about a boy.
LifeInNewRoad I don't think using 'boy' instead of 'girl' changes the essence of the song one bit. It's a story about being led astray. That's a theme that anyone can relate to, regardless of gender.
Not in this case! Gambling has led plenty of boys into trouble but not working in a Storyville Cathouse, which is what the song is about.For a indebted gambler to just get a decent job or a spouse was only an option for men in the era it was written in.

Alita Mantels finally someone else that knows, Al is my uncle
Thank you! I like this one better than the studio version
Truly beautiful
Encantada con esta hermosa, hermosa voz
Thank you so much. I teach the kids this song. I've never heard this version until tonight. The guitar playing (I'm a guitar player) is fantastic!
This version is intimate, ethereal, sublime, and haunting all at the same time.
Best version of the song I've ever heard
WOW! This night, Tuesday 27 June, 2023, is the first time I’ve heard this version! I’m almost 75 years of age, but feel ageless!
Me too.
71 and same 👍
68 and same
72! The same. Ageless...😊
very, very happy for you to have finally heard this. i have known it for many years and it can still bring me to tears.
I always thought this song would sound amazing as a slow blues tune & this proves Nina was a master in her field. Chills. Love love love this version so much.
Proof? Nina doesn't need to be classified - in a world of her own
absolutely....and a brilliant musical arranger.@@TAROTAI
Envoûtant. Merci à Nina et ses musiciens, et merci pour la mise en ligne !
This was my first introduction to her... randomly on some old mix cd an old friend had...it was just playing in the background whilst we were smoking out... it changed my life.. and her grip has never left me since.. that's what powerful music can do to one...
I to am very familiar with her grip
sometimes that will happen
This was a song for a woman to sing traditionally. So glad to hear this version! Thank you!
I love her live version, which is a faster tempo with great piano. This version with the delicate but perfect piano brings me to tears. This is Nina at her greatest.
This is live...
this brings me to tears too......she was just such an incredible genius on all fronts.
This is better than the studio version.
No other human being can touch her musical genius .
... and her humanity.. and her vision ... and her heart
Learning about history today.
It brought me here. A beautiful version of this amazing song.
Best version of this song I've ever heard
Nina Simone was a helluva singer. Her reputation is beyond well-deserved.
I love this version she does it's more suspenseful and depressing. The ominous beat gives it all the flavor of the city the New Orleans can be.
Agreed
It IS dépressive. That's sure.
the very best version of this song to me... I remember a friend showing me this song years ago sitting around getting stoned and letting the song speak to me in deep ways nina is a very huge influence on me .. 2:37 powerful love that part
Anchor. This song - this exact version - remains an Anchor for my entire Soul to always be Humble, Contemplative, and Assured that Music shall always Save Me
This is the very best version by the amazing Nina.
This version speaks to my soul in a way The Animals, Bob Dylan, Jody Miller, or anyone else never could. Breathtaking.
different styles to bring on smiles . . .
Yeah you Google
What a beautiful legendary musician and artist ! Long live her legacy thank you for your work
That guitar...Damn, give me chills..
Wow! This is the first time I've heard this lovely Nina Simone song! Thank you so much for sharing! It's great music! Too bad she never got any credit for this. It's truly haunting, and I love it.
"The House Of The Rising Sun"
There is a house in New Orleans
They call it the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh God, I'm one
If I had only listened of what my mama said
I'd be at home today
But bein' so young and foolish, my Lord
Let a gambler lead me astray
Now, my mother is a tailor
She sews those new blue jeans
And my sweetheart is a drunkard, Lord
Drinks down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a drunken man needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Lord, is when he's on the drunk
Somebody go get my baby sister
Tell her to do, not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call it the Rising Sun
Well, I'm goin' back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
Yes, I'm goin' back to spend my life
Beneath, beneath, the rising sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call it the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh God, I'm one
If I had only listened of what my mama said
I'd be at home today
But bein' so young and foolish, my Lord
Let a gambler lead me astray
Este documental es muy bueno porque desmitifica los misterios que rodean a esta composición.
Just heard a bad version of this on "The Voice" and had to come here to erase what I heard. Can't beat this version
She is a perfect musical genius.
THIS is the best version. If you ask me.
Absolutely the best version. Love it!
This is fantastic! Let Nina Simone rule the world
She did . . . once upon a time
Oh yeah I hear you or something like that
Her soul delivered through her voice - amazing
A HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL SONG. FULL OF PASSION AND MYSTERY. JUST GREAT
She was a very emotional, awesome singer. I don't know the details of her life, but she makes me remember Billie Holiday. Billie had a very hard, and short life in that men's world.
The best version this song!!!
YES
But NOT rare any more -- thanks to you.
This is phenomenal -- thank you so much for it.
(And especially for giving it to us in a reasonably hifi bitrate, too. Great artistry deserves no less.)
smartalek180 this was on US iTunes circa 2006

Love this slow version of The House of The Rising Sun.

O quê eu posso fazer pra valorizar ainda mais essa criatura divina?
Só posso dizer que mais do que meu pobre coração sente é impossível.
I love you Nina. Deusa eternamente viva!!!
I absolutely love Nina Simon 💚
c'est sublime !
Eric Burdon did not write this song. I heard it first recorded in 1933 by Tom Clarence Ashley & Gwen Foster. It is a folk song. Georgia Turner recorded it with Alan Lomax in 1937.
The ultimate Queen.
While listening to this song, it's like getting drunk and sinking into the voice of Nina Simone.
Como amor ouvir essa mulher cantar... Minha querida Nina!
This rendition of embodies all the sorrow in this song.
My forever🥰 just turned me on to this song July 2024💞💞💞💞💞

Thanks for sharing this version, like the bluesy feel.
Omg I heard a white guy sing it on American idol when I looked it up I asked for a black artist to listen sing it I was in literal tears this whole video it hit the very bottom of my heart..........
The best song!
feel the pain and the love, perfect! "She sows those new blue jeans"
Every single stitch talk about vocal genious
😢Me too, almost same agedst, I love that.
J'envie les ados d'aujourd'hui. Un peu de recherche, et ils ont droit à tous les trésors du passé...
I was named after Nina Simone because my mom loves her and I can see why
(BEST VERSION)
She didn't just cover songs, she claimed them forever.
Beautiful
I was born and raised in New Orleans and this is hitting a little different
Love you Nina , From EGYPT ✌🌹🇪🇬
might be one of the best versions of this song...
This feels like the last thing I'd hear before dying, as some ethereal being replays every shitty thing I've done before my eyes, and punishes my soul accordingly.
I'm breathless
何とエレガンスなんだろう。
しかし、哀しみはかえって深く、濃い。
It's on one of her "Jazz Master" CD's and also an import from (I think) the Netherlands. I had both recordings but gave them away to women. I know. I have that weakness.
JAMES
E' la più bella versione di questo pezzo.
Que hermosa voz!!
Never, never, never, do You understand !!! I will never turn around!!! Never!!! You're my World, You're my Planétaires, your my Liverpool and without You, I cannot live anymore !!! De you f...... understand my Loved one.
Wow beautiful
That was magic.
I did hear about this house.
Damn it's good...
On this, the anniversary of The Animals' version, I had to pay homage to hers, too.
Wish it was available for download. I iust can’t find it on any of her live albums
I LOVE NINA..!
Man, the Animals had almost completely ruined this song for me. Now I really get it. Better late than never.
great cover!!!!!
WOW - I never knew the timing was 3/4.
I like of the version of Santa Esmeralda
I know Nina didn't write this song, but it floors me that people think 4 white boys did.
Nina Simon is closer to the original. Those four whte boys re-wrote the song and made a "rock" version. The song is about a girl, but the boy band version is about a boy.

one theory was a prostitute the other a female prisoner
I thought this was originally an old folk song sung by miners?
Wonderful
This is the top
There is a reason this is titled slow live version. I love this one-- do not like her 1962 version uptomepo fat beats and lots of drums
🥀
i have this version on vinyl and it’s my favorite of hers, but i can’t seem to find it on apple music. :(
