Hachette Books I Put A Spell On You: The Autobiography Of Nina Simone
A gorgeous, inimitable singer and songwriter, Nina Simone (1933-2003) changed the face of both music and race relations in America. She struck a chord with bluesy jazz ballads like "Put a Little Sugar in My Bowl" and powerful protest songs such as "Mississippi Goddam" and "To Be Young, Gifted, and Black," the anthem of the American Civil Rights movement. Coinciding with the re-release of her famous Philips Recordings, here are the reflections of the "High Priestess of Soul" on her own life.

Faber Music Ltd Nina Simone Piano Songbook Volume 2
Of all the major singers of the late 20th century, Nina Simone was one of the hardest to label. She recorded extensively in the soul, jazz, and pop and was also comfortable with blues, gospel, and Broadway. She has subsequently been labelled as a ‘soul’ singer in terms of emotion, rather than form. Her repertoire included jazz standards, gospel and spirituals, classical music, folk songs of diverse origin, blues, pop, songs from musicals andopera, African chants, as well as her own compositions. Nina Simone: Piano Songbook Volume 2 includes a variety of her classic songs including I Get Along Without You Very Well and Strange Fruit, authentically transcribed for piano, voice and guitar.
