I know this song because John Legend did it live at a concert.

I love the song . I'm from Mississippi & NO I don't want Obama for MY president.I DO feel this song...It's great. I remember The Animals. I lived in The South "Back When" & was a "hippie" back in those days. Still. I feel Some of this. No, I don't want my children to marry another race and most blacks don't either. But WHO can't say this Song is not Fine. I've worked with the finest singers, black and white and are More than wonderful. I love Music....Maybe there is No Color.

Sure, rap music has plenty of downfalls, but when rappers sample (or steal, as some would say), we must search out the original song, as many of us on this page have done, and appreciate it. How many of us who had only HEARD of Nina Simone would have actually looked for THIS particular song if it hadn't been for Lil Wayne?

Lil Wayne brought this song from obscurity for a new generation. There are so few outlets for artists from the past to get their work played in the mainstream, and through hip hop, those geniuses have a new chance to gain more popularity and have their gifts enjoyed and appreciated, again.

This is an absolutely awesome song, of course it doesn't hold a flame to this version, but the Joe Cocker version has a nice Hearty-American flavor to it.
