Birthday appreciation: Nina Simone

Nina Simone (February 21, 1933 — April 21, 2003). Live in London, 1968. “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.”

‘Cause if I’m misunderstood
All my life would have been in vain
And Lord knows I don’t want to come here again
So don’t let me be misunderstood

Give me a clear mind
Give me the words to say what I mean

Don’t let me be misunderstood
