Even though Nina Simone’s career began at the start of the LP era many of her recordings were also issued as singles while others were only issued as singles. This 3-CD set compiles all of her 1957-62 singles among them the perennial “I Loves You Porgy” which charted at #2 in the UK and #18 in the USA in 1959 “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out” (#23 in the UK; #93 in the USA in 1960) and “Trouble in Mind” (#11 in the UK; #92 in the USA in 1961).
This collection presents the incomparable Nina Simone in a variety of musical contexts backed by her trio or quartet or by big bands conducted by Bob Mersey or Ralph Burns among others.
