Nina Simone
Baltimore
No bad song
Review Score:
(10/10)I used to have the 1978 original recording on tape but I lost it. This CD version is just as good. I didn't know Judy Collins before hearing "My Father" and even though it's her song, Judy just did not do it justice. Nina only recorded this song once and it is truly wonderful. So few artists can do a remake and improve it. ( Grace Jones also did it with La Vie en Rose) "My Father" and "The Family" are indeed two of the best interpretations I've ever heard. Also check out "Mr. Bojangles" which I would love to buy but can't afford ... Always be happy, Nina.
