Here Comes the Sun, 1971
Written by Stan Vincent, 1970
Nina Simone is one of the all-time great voices as well as one of the great interpreters. This rendition of the Five Stairsteps classic doesn't change much, but I like to think that she adds a little ironic emphasis on the word "Someday" in "Someday, when the world's much brighter." Nina was too somber and too much of a realist to swallow the hippie Shangri-la vision whole cloth.
