Today's Forgotten Oldie...

Today a song originally written for blues singer Nina Simone. Actually, this song became her signature song in the late 50's. Later it was redone in a disco version and was a hit record in the 70's for Santa Esmerelda.  But in between... the Animals took "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" to #3 in Britain, #15 in the USA and #4 in Canada. Rolling Stone lists the song at #315 of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.  Hard to understand how this great song has become a forgotten oldie!
