About this album
The Best Of Nina Simone is a sharply drawn compilation that captures her range as a singer, pianist and uncompromising interpreter. Issued in 1969, it brings together material that helped define her reputation: protest anthems such as Mississippi Goddam, gospel-rooted intensity in Sinnerman, and a series of stark, emotionally charged readings that blurred jazz, soul and classical influence. Simone’s voice is both intimate and commanding throughout, moving from tenderness to fury with remarkable control. As a snapshot of her late-1960s impact, the set shows why she became one of the most distinctive and politically forceful artists of her era.
