Reviews Customer Reviews for Nina The Essential Nina Simone      wow      Rating:      I had not ever heard of Nina Simone before. I ran across her name and then, by chance, someone gave my husband this CD and he brought it home. I listened to it and could not believe how, yes, mesmerizing her voice and interpretations are. The other reviewers express this very well, and I didn't want to read too many of those reviews before adding my own, so as not to lose all words for it. Simone's voice is completely "other" and completely known at the same time. She is in complete command, and yet does not sound too distant or at all cloying, and not over-powering. Her interpretation of each song as well as her voice are both multi-dimensioned in a way that I have not ever heard, and unique. It's a wonderful experience to listen to this CD in full, with each track wonderful to listen to.     Customer Reviews for Nina The Essential Nina Simone Cd      nina's got soul      Rating:      I was not familiar with nina before this album. I definitley like her groove. Very powerful singer. A couple of tracks are a little hokey for my taste, but overall a great listen.
