Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money, I just did not care Took all my friends out for a good time Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine Then I began to fall so low Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go If I get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins 'Cause no, no, nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And as for friends, you don't have any When you finally get back upon your feet again Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend I said, "It's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out, yeah" When you finally get back upon your feet again Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend Said, "It's mighty strange, yeah Nobody knows you, nobody knows you Nobody knows you when you're down and out"
OMG her voice is even sexier in English than in French which is saying a lot given that she's netted herself a head of state in France! Ok she's not the best singer in the world, possibly not even the best singer in the theatre but I bet she's the best singer at the next G8 summit!
Listen to the original by Bessie Smith (TH-cam) to understand what this song is about and how it should be sung. This is a song about egotism, despise and the pain it brings, not a adolescent love purring. Ecoutez l'original par Bessie Smith (TH-cam) pour comprendre ce qu'est cette chanson et comment la chanter. Elle parle d'égoïsme, de mépris, et de la douleur qu'ils engendrent. Ce n'est pas un ronronnement d'amour adolescent.
I suggest listening to Derek and The Dominos play this song. Her voice would be better if the music is played at this tempo. This solo is not up to the mark.
Ca alors, entendre Carla Bruni chanter ça après avoir juste écouté la version de Scapper Blackwell; Et en plus une chanson de Bessie Smith... il y en a qui n'ont pas honte.
This woman knows as much about the blues as, say, Jeff Bezos does about struggling... Much too legato, that's not the way to sing this. No soul, just a 'pretty' rendition of a song that shouldn't be 'pretty.' Lacks character and soul.
I found this cover probably 10 years ago and I still keep going back to it. So beautifully done.
Same here!
Have a go at The Spencer Davis Group's version. Oh my!
soothing captivating voice

Woman and Song

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
When you finally get back upon your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
I said, "It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out, yeah"
When you finally get back upon your feet again
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said, "It's mighty strange, yeah
Nobody knows you, nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when you're down and out"
OMG her voice is even sexier in English than in French which is saying a lot given that she's netted herself a head of state in France! Ok she's not the best singer in the world, possibly not even the best singer in the theatre but I bet she's the best singer at the next G8 summit!

wow... she sings like me!!!!
Lol like any normal average person in the bathroom
I'm not her fan but really good !!!!
sorry my friend @ericclapton , this version is the best
I want Carla Bruni’s guitar arrangement...
Eric Clapton’s is unfortunately too high pitch for me.
Anyone has this one please?
Try it in A 3 half steps down. Still retains feel and walk ups still translate.
Omg! Nobody knows you
ボイパかっこよい。

As if this woman knew ....
It's ironic that her husband is like the prime minister of France. As she knows anything about being "Down and out", still enjoyed her cover though.
I've been there but this is taking me back. Lennon come back.
Actually I don't think this song has anything to do with Lennon
Scrapper Blackwell is the artist. This song is almost a hundred years old
Bah, listen to Bessie Smith
Nina Simone's far better.
prova passata direi.

Well, Bezos knows a lot about struggling, but not in a ring...
What you mean with no soul???
You didn't like this cover???
OMG
My goodness, this is as bad as it gets!
Better than EC!
@@erichnussbaum, you need to get out more. If any version is better than EC's, it's Bessie Smith's.
shit guitar solo right?
THe Dude hahaha
And even shittier singing
@@littlecutest395 First remove the wax and then go back under the rock. Her voice and rendition of the song were beautiful.
The worst thing to do is butcher the lyrics of the song youre covering. Ugh
