When my son was born, the doctor said his hair was "black as night"; amazingly enough whenever he was fuzzy and wouldn't stop crying, I would sing this song to him and he'd come down and go to asleep.....I've always found Ms. Simone's music amazing and touching. Thank you for posting this song...I'm in tears.

All the lyrics of this version : Black is the color of my true love's hair His face so soft and wondrous fair The purest eyes And the strongest hands I love the ground on where he stands I love the ground on where he stands Black is the color of my true love's hair Oh I love my lover And well he knows Oh I love the ground on where he goes And still I hope that the time will come Still I pray that the time will come When he and I will be as one Lord When he and I will be as one Black is the color of my true love's hair Black is the color of my true love's hair Black is the color of my love, so fair Black is her body, so firm, so bold Black is her beauty, her soul of gold I carry my love in my heart Every... everywhere And no matter where I go She is always there I remember when she came to me In a vision of my mind I remember when she said to me: "Don't ever look behind" She said: "Look ahead", and I would see Someone always loving me... Her picture is painted in my memory Without a color of despair And no matter where I go Black is the color of my True love's hair

Her melody that starts 4:00 until the end with the guitarist isn’t on any recorded version of this song is so beautiful and jaw dropping, another piece of proof that Nina Simone was a Classical Pianist and a Composer.

Being a grand pianist was her dream. But the almost insurmountable racism and segregation of that time kept her out of Julliard(?). Her anger and bitterness informed her singing and her whole life, eventually. Towards the end of her life, that's all she talked about. Tina Turner remained bitter about not gaining the popularity of Madonna back in their day.

Hard life.. I guess that is relative. I think she grew up in a pretty stable home. Two parents..Parents weren't poor and destitute...they supported her playing. I think she was very in touch with what was going on in the world and expressed it through her playing the piano. She wanted to study and play classical...but I doubt there were many prestigious (white) schools that wanted to admit her. I think she was so proud of her heritage and hated that people couldn't see how racism is stupid as f*ck. Like ..RESPECT ME. I am playing some good stuff. I am black.I am a woman. I am proud. I am great.

Yeah, You're right. But it isn't just about the environment and the condition she grew up in. She had many mental health problems like a bipolar disorder and was later in a unhealthy relationship with her husband who forced her to become famous. And you can have a hard life even if things are going well. I think that Singers and all kinds of artists with mental illnesses are superior in expressing feelings. For example Van Gogh, Munch or singers like Amy Winehouse and Nina Simone.

It´s an excellent song and performance but I have to say that I felt myself got into a different dimension from 3:40 to the end,It was amazing. Thanks God or the big bang or whatever you want to let us enjoy the perfection of Nina and her music.

There is something about this performance that feels godly. Arguably one of the greatest live performances I have ever seen. It's so dark and beautiful

WOW! I haven't listened to (heard) Nina's extraordinary and unique expression of music since I was a child! Awesome performance. My sister used to play her all the time and I would just drift into another realm of enjoyment.

This may be one of the best romantic songs I've ever heard. Up there with "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (Roberta Flack) and "Boots of Spanish Leather" (Bob Dylan)

andremansa1 Wrong Bobbie Dylan song... check out Love Minus Zero/No Limit (hotel scene) or Mama You Been On My Mind. Still like Boots but these are Dylan's champions of love songs, in my humble opinion.

Roberta Flack famously covered the song, but contrary to the guesses here, 'The First Time Ever I saw Your Face' was written as a love song, in one take, over the phone, by Ewan MacColl, to Peggy Seeger. I was honored to call him a teacher, a comrade and a friend.

Since I knew the writer/author, and have spent time in his living room, and have seen his grammy for it, I can say that this is not so. He was a truly prolific collector of UK folklore, and was meticulous in giving credit to workers who created songs, so he also certainly did not steal this. To be clear, I am replying only to the thread discussing "The First Time Ever I saw Your Face"... MacColl was a legend, worth studying more deeply... Nina remains the Greatest of all time...

Ian Buchanan If the words have been changed in America it is an American song. Song= lyrics + music. Perhaps it is a Scottish melody?

Only a couple of words were changed- it's predominantly the original Scottish lyrics barring the few references to Scotland missing. The tune is the same too- although she has clearly taken her own exceptional spin on it.

Absolutely- she makes it her own and I think it has a different significance- a different meaning/intent the way she has sung it
