Description:

The Nina Simone entry in Universal Music`s discount-priced best-of series 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection draws nine tracks from Simone`s popular Philips Records albums of the mid-`60s, plus two tracks from her live album Let It Be Me, released by Verve Records in 1987. Several of Simone`s most frequent concert selections and signature songs are included, among them a live take of "I Loves You Porgy," "Mississippi Goddam," "Don`t Let Me Be Misunderstood," and "The Other Woman." With a running time under 40 minutes and limited to only two of the labels for which Simone recorded, this is hardly a comprehensive compilation of her work. But it is a reasonable sampler at a reasonable price. ~ William Ruhlmann
