Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A brilliant musician who can do anything--and does on this CD!The fact that Nina Simone is not a household name, like Sarah Vaughan, is inconceivable. She's a brilliant musician--terrific singer, Juilliard-trained classical pianist who accompanies herself no matter what the genre is, and composer, arranger, and consummate actress with a song. On this anthology of thirty-one of her best songs, she is at her peak, doing it all with panache and all but hanging her soul out to dry. In "I Loves You, Porgy," one of the many favorites on this CD, Simone performs the definitive version of this song, keeping it simple with a simple piano, often singing almost a capella, and often in a whisper, creating an honest and very dramatic mood. "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair," a folk tune, becomes ... Read More: Rating: - A truly great album!Feel too humbled by her music to write a review. Nina's great, she's brilliant, and her songs are mesmerizing. I'm just a fan of hers now, someone who's filled with amazement at her sheer talent and courage. The only tinge of regret is that she lived in a time when such a vast amount of her energies seemed to have been spent in challenging the obvious wrongs of society at that time. Would her music have been even more beautiful - and more harmonious - if she had lived in our time, or did she derive greater inspiration from the challenges that she faced during hers? Rating:  - Really disappointedThis woman had an incredible voice that could melt people across time. Sadly the versions on the selections here are TERRIBLE. If you like Nina, look elsewhere. There are also major gaps in the selections. "Angel of the Morning" isn't worth including, but a miserable version of "Everyone's Gone to the Moon" is? I may return because of the version of "Trouble in Mind" alone. Rating: - She is divineNina Simone has one of the most beautiful, inspiring voices in recorded history. There are greats, and she is right there with them. Whether from the heart with the stage musicals, or her soul rending "The Other Woman", she makes one wish to become a singer just to express feelings with such an honestly pure emotion. Rating: - Great Woman, Great Artist, Great CDThis woman is a great American musical icon. If you have any inclination at all to try something in this style, get this cd. It is an exellent place to start. She is one of the few that really stands out from the rest. I could write paragraphs on her but just know that if you don't like this you probably won't like anything in this style. |
