I Put A Spell On You
Nina Simone · Spell On You [2007]
'Cause you're mine
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
No I ain't lyin'
You know I can't stand it
You're runnin' around
You know better daddy
I can't stand it cause you put me down
Yeah, Yeah
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine
I love ya
I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don't care
if you don't want me
I'm yours right now
You hear me
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
I Put A Spell On You
Nina Simone's 'I Put A Spell On You' stands as a quintessential example of her mid-career resurgence, blending jazz sophistication with bluesy intensity. Recorded for the 2007 album *Spell On You*, this track showcases her mastery of vocal phrasing and emotional depth, characteristic of her work during the 1960s. The song draws from traditional folk and blues structures, yet Simone's interpretation infuses it with a unique, haunting quality that defined her legacy. As a staple of her discography, the recording captures the essence of her ability to transform simple melodies into profound statements on love and power. It remains a significant song in her catalog, reflecting the enduring appeal of her voice and the timeless nature of the composition within the broader context of American music history.
