Reviews Customer Reviews for The Best Of Nina Simone      Nina Simone      Rating:      I first heard her music in two movies, "Point of No Return" and "The Thomas Crown Affair" and determined I would look for her music. I found both songs on this album and am enjoying it immensely. The only disappointment I had was that the case was cracked when I received it; otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars.     Customer Reviews for The Best Of Nina Simone Cd      Sexy and smart      Rating:      I heard a version of "Don't let me be misunderstood" on an episode of "This American Life" about an Iraqi translator. Perhaps influenced by Eric Burdon's rendition, I thought the singer was male and was surprised that Nina Simone popped up on a search for the song title. Her version seems more heartfelt and explanatory than Mr Burdon's. "Mississippi goddam" is another gem, as is "Wild is the wind." Another surprise was "See line woman" which became "Sealion" for Feist on "The Reminder." Nina Simone's interpretations are funny and sensual and intelligent and certainly improve my morning bicycle commute.
