Nina Simone at her very best

Advantages: all Nina Simone's best tracks are on here

The three tracks that leap off the 20 long song list for me are arguably three of the best American soul tracks ever. Firstly, of course, the magical 'Feeling Good' - a song that cannot be ignored. It is a pure soul track, a song that moulds the listener into a somber but content mood to begin with, then has them up on their feet singing as load as they can by the end. The second track is her religious masterpiece, Sinnerman. you can sense the faith in this track - one clearly derived from an upbringing in gospel churches. The third is 'Don ...
