Nina Simone-Sings The Blues

(S4 Ep 17) Nina Simone- Sings the Blues (RCA)

Released 1967, Recorded December 19-January 5, 1967


Nina Simone Sings the Blues is a powerful, emotionally raw album that marked a significant shift in Nina Simone's career. Her first release with RCA Victor showcases her deep connection to the blues tradition, drawing influence from legends like Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday. With tracks like "Do I Move You?" and "Backlash Blues," inspired by Langston Hughes, Simone’s music captures the racial tensions and personal struggles of the 1960s. Although it didn’t chart highly, the album’s authenticity and emotional depth solidified her place as one of America’s greatest musical voices. The album blends jazz, blues, gospel, and soul, with Simone’s poignant piano work and powerful vocals leading the way. Tracks like "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl" and "Real Real” showcase her mastery of the genre and her unapologetic, bold musical style, influencing future artists like Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill.


Signature Tracks: "My Man's Gone Now," "Backlash Blue," "I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl."
