Keeps-you-smiling music! One of the best voices that ever graced the music business. My 17 year old thinks she's as amazing as I do.

Simply brilliant....perfect for wrapping pressies, stressed cooking & cleaning and general xmas prep, just the best chill out & put a smile on your face album I've listened to in ages. Love it love it love it. Just the best compilation.
Did I mention that I love it!
Rating: - A good place to start
This is a great album to start if you're new to Nina Simone. It provides a good selection of her music and shows how eclectic she could be. Her voice is amazingly smooth and will give you goosebumps. Perfect for late at night and those times when you want to kick back and chill out. There are some tracks missing which I'd say were essential Nina, but for a first dip into her music you could do a lot worse than this fine collection.
Rating: - If I could give this 10 stars I would
There is nothing not to like in this compilation of very well known hits by the great Nina Simone. Fabulous 'Mr Bojangles' is one of my all time favourates, but they are all fantastic anyway and will have you joining in in no time. Nina was a complex character and it shows in her amazingly emotional and quite unusual voice. If you haven't started a collection yet this one is a good begining.
Rating: - Excellent
A fabulous example of the brilliant vocal gymnist that is Nina Simone. Accompanied by some marvellous piano, she brings to life her gift and her incredible improvisation piano solos, particularly in "My Baby just Cares for Me".
This CD is certainly a magnificent piece of work, an if your'e a first time listener to Nina Simone, or an all-time fan, this album is surely going to either spurge off a love for her or to merely extent your knowledge of her musical genius.
