Description

With 1969s To Love Somebody, Nina Simone left the usual blues and jazz standards alone, in favor of a selection of contemporary hits from the pop, rock and folk worlds, including a trio of Bob Dylan tracks, the Byrds Turn! Turn! Turn!, Leonard Cohens Suzanne, and of course, the classic Bee Gees title track.

The results are fantastic; one of jazzs greatest interpreters of song proves she can handle the work of the counter culture as well. With fantastic soul-pop arrangements and a stellar band, To Love Somebody, is one of Simones most accessible and greatest titles. Reissued on 180g vinyl with a deluxe tip-on jacket.
