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 needed a collection of Nina Simone and after careful thinking and looking at the selection on Amazon I chose this one. And I have been very pleased.
My first demand was to get "Feeling good" and here it is. 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. 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. It's interesting to hear the less heard version of "My baby just cares for me" and then "Don't let me be missunderstood". Her "Ne me quitte pas" is a pretty good cover of Brel's original, which is saying a lot. 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... If there are better collections, I haven't seen them, and I've looked.

nice love this voice, love her passion, and skill. buy this and any others of hers. you will never be disapointed. A voice that stands apart no cookie cutter top 40 crap here. She is a legend.
Pure Talent August 21, 2007
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.

vintage nina, some very good songs mixed with some not so good songs, tried to cram too many songs in one cd
