Nina Simone, No Good Man 1961

 

Con Chris White al bajo, el guitarrista Al Schackman y el batería Bob Hamilton, la cantaste y pianista Nina Simone grabó este No goog man en su disco Forbidden Fruit, de 1961. El piano de Simone suena en esa tristeza, victimismo y resignación que la letra transmite sobre el amor con ese "nací para enamorarme de un hombre malo". Se grabó en Nueva York. Hay una buena edición de dos discos CD de ese mismo año, este Forbidden Fruit y otro dedicado íntegramente a la música del Duke, Sings Ellington. Era el segundo disco de estudio de Simone. ¡Disfrútalo!

NO GOOD MAN 
(Dan Fisher, Irene Higginbotham Padellan y Sammy Gallop)

No good man
Loving on a no good plan 
never treats me as he should
And that ain't good 
he's always bringing me down
He's no saint 
Heaven knows that's what he ain't
Spends his money foolishly
and not on me
I'm the one who gets the run around
I ought to hate him
but still I love him so
Cos I require
 love that's made of fire
And in his arms I find 
always get that kind
No good man
Ever since the world began
 there's been other folks like me
Born to be in love with a no good man
I ought to hate him 
but still I love him so
Cos you see I require
 love that's made of fire
And in his arms I find 
I always get that kind
No good man
Ever since the world began 
there's been other folks like me
Born to be in love with a no good man
