Default Nina Simone



Most of us know her recognised tunes (My Baby Just Cares For Me-I Got Life Etc) but I have been pleasantly surprised at what else she has to offer. I have been listening to a fairly typical Best Of compilation but I have been impressed with both the music and some of her interpretations of classic songs. Her sound skims upon a soul asthetic but retains a Jazz infused ethic. I think it is time for a re-evaluation of this impeccable songstress.

How amazing is this?:
