The Essential Nina Simone

I love music, all kinds of music,and Nina's music speaks to my soul❤️❤️

I own a greatest hits CD, but this had many songs that were not included on it. Definitely worth the purchase.

I really loved the original early recordings: lovely renditions of soulful music on Disc 1. Disc 2 was nice, but does not have the depth of Disc 1.

What else can I say! This is the incomparable NINA SIMONE !!!!!!!! I LOVE HER EVEN MORE NOW, because before I only knew some of her songs, but she is the MASTER AND AN UNMATCHED GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!! I recommend HIGHLY

Nina as always delivered the goods. She has never once failed to delivered. Music with feelings.

Good music, has the Sinnerman track I like from the second Thomas Crown Affair. I can listen to and enjoy all the tracks.

The best CD ever. I loved each and every song. BRAVO BRAVO QUEEN 🥰 💥🥰

Nina Simone was very active in the civil rights movement. She knew Martin Luther King. This is a great collection of her music, from 1959 to 1993, that is tragically still very relevant today. There are some very political songs, along with many love songs, songs of regret and yearning, and covers of songs by Sandy Denny, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Tina Turner, and others.My current favorite is "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" (1967). The traditional "Sinnerman" (1965), one of the longest tracks, is another that leaves me awestruck.There was a time when I considered her music to be of its time, an earlier time, and no longer what I wanted to hear. This 2-disc set has opened my ears to the stunning emotional and intellectual power of Nina Simone's music.It is a source of nourishment and strength in these dark days.

You have to like Jazz to admire Nina's music.

Muy buen álbum!

懐かしく、好きな曲のオンパレード！！一つのCDとしての企画性には欠けるけれど、まさにニーナの魅力のessential！！ニーナってどんな人と言われれば、黙ってこのCDを渡せば、その良さの全てがたちどころに理解できますヨ。

Very enjoyable 2 disk set with many of our favorite songs. NIna Simone - how could it be bad.

Fantastic cd
