Nina Simone was a legendary singer because she had a voice of such intensity and emotion it seemed touched by genius. Today, singers as diverse as Erykah Badu, Cassandra Wilson and Alicia Keys are among many who have listened and learnt from her pioneering fusion of blues, soul, jazz, folk and pop. This 2CD collection of classic performances spans the decades of Nina's remarkable career and demonstrates why she continues to be held in high esteem by fans and fellow musicians. The release is the second in a new GOLD series, following the release of the very successful Ella Fitzgerald GOLD
