Nina Simone-Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Please Don´t Let Me Be Misunderstood performed by The Animals on the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday Night January 24, 1965. The version you posted has a strange introduction "A Girl Apart" and eiether the Beatles or imitators introducing themselves.
Eric Burdon was a great performer, front man and singer - both the Animals and War benefited from his talents.
Rest in peace Chas Chandler!

Here is the woman the song was written for, performing it.
Nina Simone-Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcKHuvkAEDM

"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" was written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell, and Sol Marcus for the jazz singer/pianist Nina Simone, who first recorded it in 1964.
Lyrics
"Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Because I love you
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood ..."

She was recently enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I believe.

Yes she was SGT (Join to see). In fact it was this year. "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted its 2018 class during a ceremony held in Cleveland on Saturday night [April 14, 2018]. Bon Jovi, The Cars, Dire Straits, and The Moody Blues were all welcomed into the Hall, as was iconic jazz singer Nina Simone."
