Misunderstood

The beginnings of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" came with composer and arranger Horace rings Ott, who came up with the melody and chorus lyric line after a temporary falling out with his girlfriend (and wife-to-be), Gloria Caldwell.[1] He then brought it to writing partners Bennie Benjamin and Sol Marcus to complete. However, when it came time for songwriting credits, rules of the time prevented BMI writers (Ott) from officially collaborating with ASCAP members (the other two), so Ott instead listed Caldwell's name on the credits.[1][2]

"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" engagement rings was one of five songs involving the writing of Benjamin and Marcus, presented for Nina Simone's 1964 album Broadway-Blues-Ballads. There, it is taken at a very slow tempo and arranged around harp and other orchestral elements; a backing choir appears at several points. Simone sings it in her usual hard-to-categorize style. Horace Ott's involvement did not end with his initial songwriting; he was the arranger and orchestral conductor for the entire album. Backed with "A Monster", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" was released as a single in 1964, but failed to chart.

To some writers, this "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" carried the subtext of the American Civil Rights Movement that concerned much of Simone's work of the time;[2] while to others, this was more personal, and was the song, and phrase, that best exemplified Simone's career and life.[3]

Decades later, a commercial for Christian Dior's perfume J'Adore, starring Charlize necklaces & pendants Theron, featured Simone's version of the song. So too did the final scene of the 2009 Polish drama film Rewers.
