Product Description

Following the spate of reissues and compilations that followed the death of the legendary jazz, blues and soul singer and pianist in 2003 comes this concise collection which manages to collate almost all of her essential tracks on a singledisc. As the focus is mostly on her more upbeat material, there are a couple of notable omissions, but all her best-known songs, many of which are justly hailed as classics, are included.

Customer Reviews

Love it5
Keeps-you-smiling music! One of the best voices that ever graced the music business. My 17 year old thinks she's as amazing as I do.

Fantastic chill out for xmas5
Simply brilliant....perfect for wrapping pressies, stressed cooking & cleaning and general xmas prep, just the best chill out & put a smile on your face album I've listened to in ages. Love it love it love it. Just the best compilation.

Did I mention that I love it!

A good place to start5
This is a great album to start if you're new to Nina Simone. It provides a good selection of her music and shows how eclectic she could be. Her voice is amazingly smooth and will give you goosebumps. Perfect for late at night and those times when you want to kick back and chill out. There are some tracks missing which I'd say were essential Nina, but for a first dip into her music you could do a lot worse than this fine collection.
