Album Review
The Best of Nina Simone presents 12 tracks taken from the many recordings Simone did for Phillips in the '60s. As is often noted, Simone is a dynamic and powerful vocal interpreter who often brought her social consciousness directly into her artistry. Some of the material on this record would have been considered topical for the period when it was first issued. 20 years later (1985) much of it still retains the emotional power of its original time. Ignore the liner note hyperbole; this is in fact certainly some of the BEST of Simone. There's a universality to the emotion and text of this theatrical music - any doubts, just substitute the name "South Africa" for "Mississippi" in "...Goddamn." Too removed? Try your own locale. ~ Bob Rusch, Cadence, All Music Guide

Although it's hard to pick one Great Nina Simone...
by fleshmechanicsong from another. I have a few that have always stood out for me. "Who Know's Where the Time Goes" 2003 Anthology. "22nd Century"-A chillin glimpse into the near future with Nina Simone as your guide. "Black is the color of my true love's hair Parts 1-2. from Nina Simone's Love songs. "Just in Time" from Live at the Village Gate- "Tomorrow's my Turn-Four Women Anthology "In the Morning"- Legendary Nina "He Ain't Coming Home No More"- The High Priestess Album "Blue Prelude"- From the Tomato Collection. "You've Got To Learn" Nina Simone-Four Women Anthology. "Suzanne" 2003 Anthology. "Do What You Gotta Do" " I Shall Be Released" from Essential Nina Simone Anthology CD2. I left out the standards because everyone already knows those classics. I"m trying to shed light on some of the songs that don't get quite as much attention. I love Nina Simone! She in a sense saved my life. I hope that you will listen to these songs and have them become some of you're favorites as well. As for Cameron from NC who uttered the words Adam Lambert and Nina Simone in the same sentence. You have much to live and learn before you can ever understand Nina Simone.
Wait a minute...
by cameron ncI heard this song watching a trailer for an upcoming video game, Saboteur. I thought this person was a guy! Now that's just plain sad! If you want a good version of this song. Look it up under Muse or Adam Lambert (I don't even like Adam Lambert but his version just blew me away)

by baboobooIf you don't enjoy this album then something is wrong with you. One of the greatest albums ever. Ms. Simone could bring you to tears with more than one song on this album. Her smoldering voice was beyond awesome.
