NINA SIMONE- "DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD" (1964)



Uploaded by: funknroll
Video Description:
Wrestling for the soul of America.
(See the sequel, "NINA SIMONE -REVOLUTION (1969)" also.)
I grew up in the South and Midwest during the civil rights years and their aftermath. It challenged everything about my world and changed my perception of life. Not a single day passes where the lessons learned are not effecting my perceptions, my outlook, or my aspirations. What is right now come
s from their paths, what is wrong is from where any of us have lost the way. It's on each of us to make it better for each other. Selflessness brings us into the better angels of our nature. This is my psalm of love to my heroes, the bravest of the brave. The PBS series, EYES ON THE PRIZE, has beco
me available again. To me, it is the single greatest and most relevent thing ever shown on television. Check it out and be heartened by the bittersweet struggle for the very soul of America. Peace. Tym Stevens

Very TRUE! We forget and we do not educate our children about our history.

I think that WE European/Native Americans -"whites," as you call us, need to show more pride in who WE are. I believe the same goes for ALL races, and ways of life. Now more than ever, we must all remember: WE are in it together and the only way we will make it through is if we make it, TOGETHER.

You're still taking a portion of the whole and applying it to a whole. THAT'S the racist part. Of course you would judge an individual by his actions, but to judge a whole race because of the actions of a few members of that race? That's racist.
Color or behaivor, grouping everyone together is a mistake.

How would you act ... ( 6 days ago by babyshuf2)
How would you act if you had oppressive laws and policies placed on you because of your skin color...or was beaten, hanged, and harassed verbally because you were black or African American...White Americans back then act alot different than they do now, we should be racist because of your color and past actions, we should criticize you on how you acted!

This is an absolutely awesome song, of course it doesn't hold a flame to this version, but the Joe Cocker version has a nice Hearty-American flavor to it.

Lil Wayne brought this song from obscurity for a new generation. There are so few outlets for artists from the past to get their work played in the mainstream, and through hip hop, those geniuses have a new chance to gain more popularity and have their gifts enjoyed and appreciated, again.

Sure, rap music has plenty of downfalls, but when rappers sample (or steal, as some would say), we must search out the original song, as many of us on this page have done, and appreciate it. How many of us who had only HEARD of Nina Simone would have actually looked for THIS particular song if it hadn't been for Lil Wayne?
I love the song . ... ( 2 days ago by Nite30889)
I love the song . I'm from Mississippi & NO I don't want Obama for MY president.I DO feel this song...It's great. I remember The Animals. I lived in The South "Back When" & was a "hippie" back in those days. Still. I feel Some of this. No, I don't want my children to marry another race and most blacks don't either. But WHO can't say this Song is not Fine. I've worked with the finest singers, black and white and are More than wonderful. I love Music....Maybe there is No Color.
