"Black Is the Colour Of My True Love's Hair"
any nina simone fans here? i recently was going through a depression and while at the local music store i saw her Greatest Hits CD. i bought it although i was not a fan but i remember hearing a couple of her songs like "Feeling Good" & "I Love you Porgy". neways, making a long story short, i have become a big fan because of the raw-ness of her music.
about the song, there are many songs of hers that are absolutely amazing but this one particularly is almost perfect.
another absolutely amazing song of hers is "Ne Me Quitte Pas"
any fans?

I love her. What an amazing voice!
Do you have her live version of "Where Did All The Time Go?"
That's my fave.

I just discovered Nina Simone not too long ago. I'm pretty hooked now... I like this song. Some of my other favorites are "Mississippi Goddam" and "Sinnerman"

I'm a fan of a lot of her songs, with her rendition of Little Girl Blue being my favorite. This song is very good.

That's my fave. no, but i would LOVE to hear it .. msg me the link pls? sinnerman is amazing, and there is a wicked dance remix by Felix Dahousecat that was on one of the Verve Compilation (i believe the first one), and actually there was a VERY well done remix for the "Black is the color of my true love's hair" on the Verve's second compilation CD |

I LOVE her. I love all of the mixes that have been done of her stuff on the Verve Compilations. My absolute favorite is the Joe Claussell mix of "Feeling Good." Such a great chill, laid back song. Great for lying in bed with someone.  Also love this one and "Sinnerman", plus all of her takes on the Porgy & Bess stuff like "Summertime". Love her lived-in, world weary voice. My favorite Nina Simone songs: 1. Feeling Good 2. I Put A Spell On You 3. Little Girl Blue 4. Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair 5. Sinnerman 6. I Loves You Porgy 7. To Love Somebody 8. Trouble In Mind 9. I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl 10. Wind Is The Wind |
