This is the 'Essential Nina Simone', a collection of the American singer, songwriter, pianist, and civil rights activist's finest work. Simone's unique style of jazz mixed with classical, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop, proved very popular and highly influential since her first release back in 1958.

This compilation collates songs of protest ('Mississippi Goddam') and blues numbers ('Don't Smoke in Bed', 'Love Me or Leave Me'), as well as session recordings, well-known hits, and covers ('My Baby Just Cares for Me', 'House of the Rising Sun').
Nina Simone's music can be easily related to by almost anyone due to its diversity and undoubted honesty and is a perfect starting point for anyone who is looking for an insight into the music of a true legend. (John Minard)
