Nina Simone – The Artist

Eunice Kathleen Waymon (1933 – 2003), known professionally as Nina Simone, was an American singer, songwriter, musician, arranger, and civil rights activist. Her music spanned a broad range of musical styles including classical, jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop.Throughout her career, Simone assembled a collection of songs that would later become standards in her repertoire. Some were songs that she wrote herself, while others were new arrangements of other standards, and others had been written especially for the singer. bHer first hit song was her rendition of George Gershwin’s “I Loves You, Porgy” (1958) and during that same period Simone recorded “My Baby Just Cares for Me”, which would become her biggest success years later, in 1987, after it was featured in a 1986 Chanel No. 5 perfume commercial. Well-known songs from her Philips albums include “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” on Broadway-Blues-Ballads (1964), “I Put a Spell on You”, “Ne me quitte pas” (a rendition of a Jacques Brel song) and “Feeling Good” on I Put a Spell On You (1965), “Lilac Wine” and “Wild Is the Wind” on Wild is the Wind (1966).
