This is an incredible CD - Nina's voice is fantastic.unfortunately, the CD skips here and there thus it is not the greatest quality.CCMarlboro, NJ
Excellent CD. I had been limited in what I had heard up to this time. What a voice and can she sell a song.
I hate Brel covers.The collection is quite a good one, showing more than one side of Simone's personality: the sexy, the bold, the jazzy, the humorous. It's interesting to hear the less heard version of "My baby just cares for me" and then "Don't let me be missunderstood".
And I have been very pleased. My first demand was to get "Feeling good" and here it is.
I needed a collection of Nina Simone and after careful thinking and looking at the selection on Amazon I chose this one. It's a compelling performance, starts so harmlessly, tongue-in-cheek and builds up to a description of racism and plea for liberty - which inspired Sam Cooke to create his "A change is gonna come".Nina Simone was a marvellous pianist and a great voice, that had more than one side.
Wonderful, sensual, unforgettable. I was also curious about "Mississippi goddamn", which I've never heard on Finnish radio but saw a bit in a documentary about soul.
Her "Ne me quitte pas" is a pretty good cover of Brel's original, which is saying a lot. If there are better collections, I haven't seen them, and I've looked.
you will never be disapointed. nice love this voice, love her passion, and skill. buy this and any others of hers. A voice that stands apart no cookie cutter top 40 crap here. She is a legend.
There is none to compare to the sheer & pure God given talent of Nina Simone. This CD is simply perfection. Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul and well deserved, and Nina Simone is the Queen of all.
