The build up left me wondering where this was going. Like Billie Holiday, and definitely different in a good way, your left going well with this world when she starts singing. Thanks for the upload.
It was a case of the asset [video B roll] driving the production. Somebody in the production chain of command either flunked self-restraint or had the most brilliant artistic inspiration of her/his life. maybe both.
I haven't heard much of Nellie's work, but I did detect a slight bit of 50's Munro in all of the nuances of the few songs I have heard to date. Besides that, let's not look for pastiche. To my ear, that voice is unique and cannot be faulted.
Oh shit! She's a mess on that piano... In the best possible way. So many modalities, moods and manias. Schizophrenic too. So much going on. And this beautiful faint voice dancing over the top of it all like a depressed and anorexic ballerina. Makes me sentimental a cravingcsome very expensive booze. Love ya Nelly.
Such an unacknowledged pianist and singer.
Not only that, but a genius songwriter and instrumentalist.
Great to be able to listen to the songs my grandparents fell in love to
One of my favorite Nelly performances. What a great song to pick. The ukelele and harmonica. So wonderful!
I didn't realise she was such a musical genius and played so many different instruments. Wow, i'm blown away ☺
What a version! Body n soul
Best voice I heard on this song, love the sound.
❤genius artist
one of my favorite songs and this played and sang by this artist I just happened to come upon this morning.
lovely rendition and style, Nellie.
What can you say? There is a spirituality about Nellie's musicality that is quite disarming.
GREAT playlist. Goodonya.
fantastic
Love this version of Body and Soul. Great vid there Oliver Z.

la grande belleza
I love the piece. How come we don't hear the cello or uke in the audio?
I think the video is a distraction to the incredible performance.
I kind of love it though Todd because it shows all the instruments she plays and she seems like such a doll.
Just don't watch it. Listen.

I hear a lot of Blossom Dearie in this lady, not too much Doris Day

I’ve always felt that Nellie was an incarnation of Blossom Dearie
