    This song was originally written in '64 and she covered it in '65. The characters in the video represent a modern take on Nina and her daughter (for real) at a time right after leaving a long abusive marriage in 1964. She was starting over and was having this new awakening when she did this album ("I Put a Spell on You") so watching the video with that in mind I get a sense of just how much of herself she poured into her music and how real that emotion was. It was always like that for her.

      Not a word of exaggeration brother, not a syllable. Could not agree more with your sentiments. Ms Nina is magnificent and it does n't matter how often I hear this piece it gives me goosebumps every time and that's best part of 50 years. Extraordinary talent largely unappreciated in her homeland. Very sad. While she's long gone her legacy lives on and we're the fortunate beneficiaries.
