- The wonderful , dizzy and ¨crazy¨ Nina Simone (1933-2003) was one of the greatest artists of XX century. She started playing piano with 2 years old and made her first public concert with the age of 12. She used to play only classical music. Studied at the famous, celebrate and excellent JUILLIARD SCHOOL OF NEW YORK and then, because of ethnic causes she was rejected like a classical pianist. She had one of the biggest talent for music and arts in general, was a genius. So, she started playing in bars, cafes... and had soon a lot of fans of her tallent. Was also an importnt activist for the black causes in USA. Well, here, she sings and talk a very interesting thing, weird thing, indeed, about JANIS JOPLIN, who she liked too much. She in fact had a psyquiatric desorder , but it was publicated at her biography only after her dead, in 2004. (Bipolar affective disorder).

Videos like these are the most important on TH-cam. I pray they’re never taken away
“. . . You aren’t worthy . . .”/“ . . She got hooked into a feeling and she played to corpses . . .” Wow not many singers could get away with those comments. It goes to show just how honest she is and how much her fans appreciate it.
A musical goddess! Actually, she was called the PRIESTESS OF SOUL. What a talent!
Nina Simone was a freak of Nature as an Artist. She can`t be replaced.
Nina Simone was a tortured soul/genius, I find joy and sadness every time I see and listen to her Rest in peace Queen
@MrVb66 Tortured? When Nina was away from a concert venue, she could be very funny. I have laughed while reading her friend Janis Ian’s stories about her. I particularly enjoy the one in which Janis and Nina browse at sidewalk vendors in Los Angeles. Nina buys a pair of slippers then decides to return them for a refund. Tee-hee!
@@kathrynfauble9053 Oh my God Nina Simone was diagnosed as manic depressive also she had a very very abusive husband, he used to beat her she grew up in the segregated South and witness 3 BLACK people being Hung, which had a profound impact on her life there's a documentary on Netflix which captures most of what she went through, listenin to her music
If you watch the footage of her last days you know she's not right in the head God-bless her Nina Simone🙁
@@kathrynfauble9053 The book in which you are referring to has be been debunked by Ninas closest friends and her daughter,,,,

“She got hooked to a thing, and not on drugs. She got hooked to the feeling. And she played for corpses”- This is def true, especially in Europe where Janis openly talked about playing as hard as she could in Germany and People just stood around.
Janis also played a rather empty Olympia in Paris France. Nowhere near capacity.
Who said this?
She was explaining that she became hooked on the energy of the audience, hooked on the high they provide her, hook on the approval of others, validation of others, love of others.
But what does she mean when she says "... and she played to CORPSES" and then winks? That the european public sucks? That Janis couldn't feed off the thing she became hooked on because of the audience's apathy?
@@PiwaiGee I don't see it as a dig at Janis, more so that Nina could see how mainstream music was being pushed and that audiences would cheer and sing along regardless of their independent minds, they would cheer and sing along to whatever was being popularised at the time. Basically saying those who follow the "top" artists/bands mindlessly are sheep and only support the artists who are being pushed at that time. But it's all down to interpretation, no one understands Nina completely, you can read between the lines but she was well known to sing and speak in a type of code.
I didn't think I wa a Jazz fan...I was wrong. ,This is magic!
Nina Simone was way before her time. A hauntingly beautiful voice. Brings me to my knees.
Man, this woman was pure magic! We sure don't get people of such character in our production line times....

This is definition of a real cultivated artist. Love Nina!
Another tidbit. Sometimes extremely gifted people are those who experience such extreme emotional and psychological ranges that many of us luckily can never imagine. It enables them to create beyond society's limitations and it is their blessing and their curse this mental illness (bipolar, schizophrenia). In their lucid moments they bear beauty and ugly truths in music and in words. We can either love it, hate it or sometimes fail to comprehend it. Understanding context is key.

I think she saw her live - I think what she was saying was that Janis was playing and working hard and the audience was dead. It was more of a slight on the people listening than on Janis. That's what I took from it anyway.
It is impossible to hear you, dear Nina, without crying... crying tears of commotion and tenderness. Listening to you and to feel an unstoppable desire of embracing you, is something natural. Grazie Nina. Thank you Nina. From Rome, Italy, to your afro-american descendants paradise, between the Stars, where I hope now you are not feeling any pain anymore. Only Love. Grazie Nina. Janice and Billie. Con amore. Fab ;)
Now if Janis Joplin and Nina Simone had been able to do a duet together... Oh wow that would have been... Wow...
TheNzfroggy janis was too busy doing drugs....
Too good for human ears.
That would have been 2 awesome Love em both😍😍😘
I know what Nina meant. Most people dont feel . Janis was hooked on her strong feelings. Feeling was most important to her. If only more people could FEEL. Ya got soul if ya wake up and FEEL it ,,,right?
she actually didn't shush the drummer. she told him "to stay in time man!" exactly on point
La quintessence même de l'art ! un exemple pour tous nos pseudo chanteur élevés à la star ac'...un fond de batterie et elle arrive à nous donner l'envie de bouger !
I remember seeing this on a cable channel. I didn't know her, I don't know her work and I don't even listen to this type of jazz, but what I understood is that her attitude is not related to bipolar disorder; actually she criticized the fact that the public were there and didn't know her music, her records. They were just there to look cool.
"And yesterday I went to see Janis Joplin's film yeah. And what distressed me the most and I started to write a song about it, but I decided you weren't worthy, because I figured that most of you were here for the festival and you just really, tsk tsk, tsk. Anyway, the point is, it, it pained me to see how hard she worked. Because she got hooked into a thing and it wasn't on drugs, she got hooked onto a feeling. And she played to corpses, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Yes! Yes!
Wow!!!!!!!! She was addicted in music. Thank you!!! You said this 10 years ago, i hope you're good today. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@Gutodaflauta I don’t think that’s what Nina meant but maybe you’re talking about something someone else said 10 yrs ago… as we lost Nina in 2003… and Janis in 1970
She wasn’t saying anything bad about Janis, quite the opposite. Nina also mentions Janis on her performance of Stars from the very same concert :)
Bernardo, relative of mine (Same surname), Thank you!!! Nina is a soul in music. I Wonder she's brasilian like us. Music is our countryland, our language, our common home. God bless Nina!!!!!
I thought she was singing"Because the night belongs to lovers"!And yes,she was so right about Janis!
@lokijordan, thank you. Today, I listened to Nina Simone's 1964 version of, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", today and I just can't stop crying. If only some of the people here could hear this song and know that 3 of her musicians wrote it and lay that song at her feet for her to sing like no one else before or since. If only they could know a bit of her history and why that song explains her life well, then perhaps they would not be so harsh.
If Nina Simone wasn't the coolest ever.....she was so Awesome.
"Stay in time". I agree. Man, people take so much heat for just telling the truth. Their truth.
Tão nobre e tão humilde. Um encanto hipnotizante.
Humilde? Ela humilhou a plateia. Aprenda inglês para entender o que ela diz neste vídeo e a genial arrogância dela na frente do público frio de Montreaux, chamando eles de cadáveres e que não mereciam ouvir uma nova canção que ela compôs para Janis Joplin.
I think maybe 1 per cent of the audience could understand what Nina was saying.
gianca60 I think maybe 1% of me can understand what she was saying, tbh
I think those who are watching now are more than 1% and they can understand now
I'm confused af rn.

@@terabyte7218 still many who don't.. And I think looking at this video Nina simone was hooked into the same thing.
I find this woman fascinating. This is fantastic, thank you for uploading.
At the end of "Janis", when the audience comes on stage to rock with the goddess to "Piece of My Heart", I always thought of Prometheus bringing fire to the mortals.
Charisma Queen 👸
Maravilhosa, uma Deusa sublime do Jazz mundial, me derramo ao ve-la Nina.......
Niente di più !!....si può avere!!! Vi prego, giovani di oggi....sentite cosa ci ha regalato NINA SIMONE♡
After she said "you know what I mean?" she suddenly realized she was standing in front of corpses herself and started laughing at the realization.
Yes.
EXACTLY!! LOL
This🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I believe she already knew that.
Una voz maravillosa!
Que presença... é de emocionar a todos nós...
Such a CONFIDENCE in her music !
some Truth telling served along with the greatest music ever. 🙏🙏🙏
...I mean a diva in good way - what a talented woman musician...
She Played To Corpses would make a great band name.
que voz..... 😐💛☝
Beautiful
She did actually have bipolar, and this in NO WAY diminishes her nor her genius. Get with it.
@Lisenization Bipolar? When Nina was away from a concert venue, she could be very funny.
I have laughed while reading her friend Janis Ian’s stories about her. I particularly enjoy the one in which Janis and Nina browse at sidewalk vendors in Los Angeles.

i love nina, and janis. if i could pick anyone in the world to meet dead or living, it would be Nina every time!
Thank you for the feedback. I wish you and everyone else joy in this journey called life.
amazing
Amazing my two favourite lyricists ...god bless you Nina and Janis xxx
NINA SIMONE ( QUEEN)💯✊🏾⭐️
I agree totally on your view of live in Montreux - a MUST SEE.
Well said ! Franco, We have too many : " Cybernetic Warriors " and:
" Spelling Busters " 0_0 This Woman it's Amazing !!
And Brave !! back on those days it was not easy...
Wow!
Wow. Most beautiful human being I've ever seen/heard/felt.
Nina looked so beautiful here...such an amazing performer....
thank you
Não é uma cantora , é uma entidade. Que voz poderosa ! Ela faz o que quer, por que pode !
Yes 💯
Mais do que cantora, através de sua postura, rasgou portas para a igualdade entre os sexos.....
I love Nina!!!
Simplemente única y maravillosa .
❤❤❤❤Nina❤❤❤❤
What a gem
Thank you for stating the truth. Many just go for the negative because they are jealous and cannot comprehend dealing with artists. Ask anyone who has worked for or represented any artist and they will tell you. Some, even the most talented are a "handful" to manage on any given day.. She by no means was the only one who labelled "difficult"....
thanks!
Brings tears to my eyes
FANTASTICA
Que maravilhosa.
ME ENCANTA NINA Y JANIS, GRACIAS POR SUBIR ESTE VÍDEO............

I love youtube.....and Nina!
2:59 I LOVE HER LIVE SHE IS A RADICAL
I personally think you're exactly right. As one with personal experience, it's a gift, and a curse, all in one. But I wouldn't trade it for 'normalcy' for all the money and riches in the world. 'Cause baby, I've got music in my soul, and it drives me to push myself harder, harder, harder every single day of my life. The art of creation is love and torture, and who on earth would ever give it up?
jut love her
Made perfect sense to me.
Prachtig!!!!!
she was GREAT. period.
las adoro a las dos
power
amen
Genio
heartbreaking and true
Sinead is also in that state, but like others she deals whit it.
superr!!
orgulho
@swaregirl
Spectacular commentary!
TALENTO DDDD++++++++
@Tiny22Smiles, thank you. I only hope that Ms. Simone has found peace.
Subelo completo por favor!!
@sadiegirl247, thank you for your comment. I was speaking SPECIFICALLY about Simone, I realize that everyone is different. Although I am sensitive to those whose experience is outside of my own, what YOU have said about your own experience should not be diminshed simply because the creativity has been connected with the mania. Nor should creativity connected with mania be diminished in others such as Simone.
I can only imagine how she would be proper this days!
@swaregirl bang on, agree with that.shes wholly and entirely amazing
