 At the height of the politically, socially charged late-1960s, as wars and poverty raged in every corner of the globe, and America’s non-violent Civil Rights movement clashed with the burgeoning forces of Black Power, many voices sang out as mirrors of the times. Defiant and outspoken, Nina Simone (1933-2003) inspired audiences with her stance as both activist and diva, brilliant pianist, songwriter and prophetess, whose art encompassed and transcended her roots in classical, jazz, blues, folk, standards, and the anachronistic contemporary pop hits that curiously appealed to her...
The turbulence of the era coincided with her tenure at RCA Records (from 1966 to 1974), a prolific period that was recently sampled by Legacy Recordings on The Soul Of Nina Simone (RCA/Legacy, October 2005), the first newly-created compilation ever issued on DualDisc. In conjunction with the upcoming Black History Month celebration, a new compilation (which does not duplicate any of the material on its predecessor) and two new expanded editions will arrive in stores January 17th on RCA/Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. The three remastered titles are:
NINA SIMONE: FOREVER YOUNG, GIFTED AND BLACK: SONGS OF FREEDOM AND SPIRIT
NINA SIMONE SINGS THE BLUES
SILK AND SOUL
