@fred: not to get into semantics, but that was a trick answer because there was no question, hence a trick be afoot! and yes, we can get along, wait. when did we not? Was it something I said... (I think that's the expectation of Whitney coming up)

I actually heard this Nina Simone version well before I knew it was a harrison cover. I was late to the party on All Things Must Pass. Great song, though.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:40pm

I think the first time I heard Nina, I thought she was a dude too, but it was at a college party, and I wasn't paying attention. A few years later, I randomly bought one of her records, b/c, what the haye?!! And I fell in love.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:42pm

I technically need to be here another hour. I've finished all of my work. I don't want to start a new project. Meh, I'll wait until Kurt is done.

...think I found Nina late enuff to be spoonfed by a StraightAhead Jazz Mentor - & knew it was 'Nina'...altho' prob. heard earlier somewhere w/out taking any notes yet...
  5:46pm
Dean:

"I Loves You Porgy," not this version, but one from an early live album of hers, grabbed me. This version, too, is knock-out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvq9-sFC6a8

Starts at 2:28, but the introductory tune is good, too.
