TUESDAY NIGHT MUSIC: "MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME" NINA SIMONE

From Wiki: Written by Walter Donaldson with lyrics by Gus Kohn. Written for the film version of the musical comedy Whoopee(1930), the song became a signature tune for Eddie Cantor who sang it in the movie. This is the 1957 version by Nina Simone. The beginning seems quite reminiscent of songs by Louis Prima and at first, with Simone's deep voice, I thought it was him! And-nevermind the gender of the lyrics-one can adapt as I do for my watergirl.
