This is a classical very very very old ‘cabaret’ type soul soothing album.
Hope I described it well enough! I first heard her music on the movie ‘Assassin’, where the trainee demands to listen to it.
There really is no other way to try and explain what she sounds like, you just have to listen to her.
Songs like ‘Baby Cares’, and ‘Feeling Good’ are just ... ...your neck standing up, but your fingers begin to click at the same time.
Her music would suite any mood, any time of the day.
I hunted around for ages trying to get a copy and eventually found it at the library! So – if you can’t find some music, don’t forget to go to the local library!
This album is absolutely brilliant, now that you know where to get it… all you need to do ... more

Advantages: Nina Simone - One of THE Voices Of Music Disadvantages: None
NinaSimone is one of those musical artists whoes voice is instantly recognisable. This album, 'The Very Best Of NinaSimone' is a solid, well organised CV of her musical achievements. She is one of those artists who, until you recieve an album like this, you forget had so many brilliant songs.
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.

If you only buy one NinaSimone album then this is the one to buy. As the title of the album states this is 'The Very Best of NinaSimone' and it has been compiled beautifully.
