5.0 out of 5 stars You must buy this album!, 7 Jan 2003
By Mr J Smith (Southend-on-Sea, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This album is one of those rare, beautiful, flawless presentations of all that is good in the world. This is the kind of music you can put on, and forget everything else in the world. You can simply enter into this Woman's world of simple, memorable tunes, all of which are exceptionally executed. This is one of those perfect albums, which everyone should own. Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Now this is music !, 8 Oct 2000
Sick of soulless pop tat? Want to listen to something from the heart, not the marketing department? Well here it is. Pour yourself a White Russian, dim the lights, kick back and savour every note, beat and harmony of what is truly an all time classic. If you like music with style, feeling and personality (e.g. Air, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Portishead, Labi Siffri, Marvin Gaye, etc. etc.) then you'll love this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime Perfection, 19 Jul 2005
Nina Simone has one of those distinctive voices which is incredibly difficult to describe. I know that when I first heard this CD at a friends party a few years ago, I had to buy it.

As other reviewers have said, this is one of the only compilations that does hold so many of the listeners' favourite tracks such as Feeling Good, I Put a Spell on You, My Baby Just Cares for me etc but for me it's the lesser known tracks that I've fallen in love with.

Here Comes the Sun is a fantastic cover of George Harrison's classic. Simple with amazing gospel harmonies. The kind of track that gives you goosebumps. And Nina's rendition of Mr Bojangles made famous by Sammy Davis Jr is equally emotional: very different in mood to the original version or Robbie Williams' cover of the track.

Whilst there are songs I wish were on this album, such as Sinnerman or See-Line Woman, it's a treasure of a collection and doesn't fail to fulfil whatever mood needs nurturing at the time. If you are a Nina fan, you'll love this. If you've never heard anything by her, you'll love it even more.
