THE VERY BEST OF NINA SIMONE

Description

PRE ORDER 17/02/23 Nina Simone’s style encompassed a broad range of musical genres including jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, pop and classical music. Although she was initially trained to be a classical pianist, racism forced her to work within the realm of popular music, where she developed a singular style both as a singer and as a piano player. This 180-gram vinyl edition compiles 16 of her best performances ever, all of which were hits. Among them are her perennial reading of George & Ira Gershwin’s I Loves You Porgy and her immortal version of My Baby Just Cares for Me. 1 My Baby Just Cares for Me 3:38 2 I Loves You Porgy 4:11 3 Love Me or Leave Me 3:22 4 Little Girl Blue 4:19 5 He Needs Me 2:30 6 Children Go Where I Send You 2:52 7 Willow Weep for Me 3:14 8 Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out 2:40 9 Black Is the Color of My True Love’s Hair 3:32 10 Trouble in Mind 5:42 11 Exactly Like You 3:16 12 Do Nothin» Till You Hear from Me 2:50 13 Work Song 2:38 14 Fine and Mellow 3:28 15 Mood Indigo 4:01 16 The Other Woman 2:59
