VARIOUS ARTISTSDON’T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD
Created in 1964 by Nina Simone and covered the next year by Eric Burdon’s Animals to become a hit, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood has since become one of those songs many try their hands and throats on with various successes. As it should be, this selection gives you the three more popular versions (the aforementioned two plus Santa Esmeralda’s latino-disco 10 minutes extravaganza) and 15 others that are not always perfect but all give a personal take on the song. For example, Eric Burdon’s early 80’s live version suffers from Burdon having throat problems which makes it even more emotional if not always in tune (and sometimes painfully out of…). The 14 others range from blues to hard rock, from metal to folk and jazz (etc.) every one of them having something to offer. Enjoy.

Great idea... love your blog...
Je rêve d'une compilation similaire avec "Il y'a pas d'amour heureux"... Je connais les versions de Nina Simone (encore), Brassens, Keren Ann, D. Darrieux... mais je serais curieux de découvrir d'autres moins connues
Libre à toi de la faire et de nous la proposer... ^^
