You Don't Know What Love is:  Many love songs praise the ectasy of love encounters in the most poetic of expressions. But there is also the agony and heartbreak that is often part of love relationships. This song, by Gene DePaul and Don Raye, believes one must also live through the agony of " the Blues" to really understand what love is " Until you learn the meaning of the blues." Maybe, for some, there is nothing but unfettered bliss in love affairs. That would be most unusual since there tend to be ups and downs in any male/female relationship. Singer/pianist Nina Simone really explores the heartbreak and sadness suggested by the song title and her own discovery of what love is.
