    I cannot create a sentence that truly expresses how masterful this performance is. Vocally, instrumentally, physically. If the lyrics and composition don’t convey the emotion, that amazing stage presence sure as hell does.

    Have y’all noticed with her performances that she kind of “blacks out” and then comes to? It’s like she has an out of body experience when she sings. I’ve noticed it on a few occasions.

      HarmoActive,
      Moi aussi. Eggs Ackerley. And with Doyle she doesn't even sing an actual word. I had much the same encounter and consequence as you about two years ago when I idly clicked on one of her Afropunk 2014 performances. In full voice she sounds like the last faintly decent heart and mind left alive on Earth. Like me, you just got lucky. Stumble on.

      She's actually said that she recorded the studio version of it very soon after her grandmother died, and that whenever she sings it now she feels her grandmother's presence. She spent a lot of time with her grandmother in Georgia when she was a child.
      The way she sings most things sounds to me like she's thinking of everything that ever happened to everyone.

    I'm terrified to watch another live performance from this goddess. I'm afraid I'll fall in love with her. Good God! Where did she come from? I'm a music aficionado and I've never seen anything like this.

      Of course you're right, that's understood, but there's no turning back now; like the rest of us who found ourselves where you are now, you'll just have to go through with it . . .
      Where did she come from? I think there might be a Sea Islands Geechee/Gullah connection - th-cam.com/video/xlFGCna3-Jc/w-d-xo.html - but beyond that, who knows? Where did human thought and feeling and body and bone begin; where did time begin . . . ? When she's in full voice I feel like that's all beginning again.
      And/or, as others have proclaimed - Mami!

      Citizen cope is one if my favorite artist and went to see him live, she was performing with him (I think they are married or have a kid together) and I remember thinking the exact same thing! A year later she was nominated for best new artist. She has some unique pipes on her for sure 😎

    Every single time I watch this video I'm compelled to smack the $#!+ out of singers who blase' their way through a song and get paid millions by brainless music corporations who pump trash music about sex and........sex at 8am I the radio to these modern day twitter & facebook junkies.
    Meanwhile, this lady right here....THIS WOMAN RIGHT HERE!!! She puts her entire spirit into this song every time she sings it. 🙏
    I know that Ms. Simone watched that performance, smiled, took a toke on a cigarette, stood up and clapped her hands and stomped her foot for
    Ms. Smith ✌

      Like many others had done, I'd had it up and Viacom had TH-cam take it down. (Vimeo doesn't seem to do that thing.)
      Alice obviously isn't interested in any miserliness about what she does, which highlights just how shameless it is that corporate spite insists on trying to stop anyone from freely enjoying other people's art that The Business has pointlessly snaffled up and hoarded. They say, 'If we can't exploit her, why should wretches like you enjoy her?'
      But as your other comment shows, some benign human beings will seek and find and hear what she says anyway. And get it, and get in it. Viva you. And viva Alice too . . . natch.

      Yes. You're all the way right. Covers are very much a thing, and an interesting thing. Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday did a lot of covers. Leontyne Price, Jessye Norman, Kathleen Battle and Marian Anderson did a a lot of covers and I think Kathleen might still be at it. Enrico Caruso, Luciano Pavarotti and Maria Callas did a lot of covers . . . there's a whole lotta covers goin' on.
