“To Love Somebody” (The Bee Gees cover) by Nina Simone
The DEFINITIVE version!
I have mentioned Nina before and this song particularly as it was perhaps inexplicably a Mod HIT and then some . . . if you were a mod you had to own this, take it to house parties and youth clubs and play and dance to it over and over was de rigeur
I don’t think we even knew then it was the Bee Gees who had written it and who were a sort of strange pop hit making machine (Joke, Mining Disaster etc etc) were sort of cool but this early fans became horrified by the Satyuday Night Fever malarkey and considered them a sell out
