Advantages: Nina Simone - One of THE Voices Of Music
Disadvantages: None

...Nina Simone is one of those musical artists whoes voice is instantly recognisable. This album, 'The Very Best Of Nina Simone' is a solid, well organised CV of her musical achievements.

Advantages: all Nina Simone's best tracks are on here
Disadvantages: not long enough

...If you only buy one Nina Simone album then this is the one to buy. As the title of the album states this is 'The Very Best of Nina Simone' and it has been compiled beautifully. Before I bought the album I only knew one of her songs and yet as the album played out on my dvd player I found myself realising that I didn\'t know she had sung half the songs and that I had heard these on various films and on television advertisements. The tracks on the album are: 1 Ain't Got No, I Got Life 2 My Baby Just Cares For Me 3 Feeling Good 4 I Put A Spell On You 5 I Loves You Porgy 6 Don\'t Let Me Be Misunderstood 7 The Look Of Love 8 I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free 9 I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl 10 Do I Move You 11 Do What You Gotta Do 12 To Be Young, Gifted...
