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 and
opera, African chants as well as her own compositions.
This songbook is a second volume of classic songs authentically transcribed for piano, voice and guitar. Contents: Angel Of The Morning; Backlash Blues; Baltimore; Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's
Hair; The Family; The House Of the Rising Sun; How Long Must I Wander?; I Get Along
Without You Very Well; I Shall Be Released; My Man's Gone Now; My Way; New World
Coming; The Pusher; Seems I'm Never Tired Lovin' You; Turn Me On.
