I Loves You Porgy (Midnite Jazz & Blues Collection) - Nina Simone

Advantages: Wonderful Songs
Disadvantages: None

...! It happens a lot that I need to buy someone's album it's only because I love to hear one certain song of his/her. It's happened to me regarding to Nina Simone. I've decided bought her album because of the remarkable poetry song, Ne Me Quitte Pas which wrote (and first performed) by Jacques Brel. However, since then I've known Nina Simone better, and then I became familiar with her other songs. *** TITLE *** Feeling Good The Very Best of Nina Simone Produced by Universal Music *** SONGS *** 1.

Advantages: Class Acts
Disadvantages: None

...This is a compilation double CD, of classic jazz/blues tracks all by women singers from the past 5 decades. Issued originally in 2002 - remember when Norah Jones was all over the radio? Well, she is track number 1, on Side 1, with her hit song 'Don't Know Why'. Apart from this, most of the artisits I recognise from their own work, or hearing them over the years and you certainly get a lot of music for your money. ~~~ Track Listings Disc: 1 1. Norah Jones - Don't Know Why 2. Dinah Washington - Mad About The Boy 3. Aretha Franklin - All Night Long 4. Peggy Lee - The Man I Love 5. Nina Simone - I Wish I Knew How It Felt To Be Free 6.

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...
