My baby just cares for me - Nina Simone

Nina Simone recorded 'My baby just cares for me' in 1958 for her debut album, 'Little girl blue'. The track remained relatively obscure until 1987, when it was used in a UK television commercial for Chanel No. 5 perfume.

To follow up this exposure, the track was released as a single, entering the UK singles chart in October 1987, becoming Simone's first hit after 19 years absence from the chart. The single reached number 5 in the UK singles chart and number 1 in the Dutch Top 40. A claymation music video was produced by Aardman Animations, directed by Peter Lord.
