(Jazz, Blues, Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Folk, Gospel) Nina Simone - Official Discography (1957..1993), MP3, 160..320 kbps

Nina Simone родилась в штате Северная Каролина. Ей удалось получить образование в нью-йоркском колледже Juilliard School of Music, считавшимся престижным. Начав в 1953 году карьеру пианистки в ночных клубах Атлантик-Сити, она взяла псевдоним в честь своей любимой актрисы Симоны Синьоре. В начале 60-х она подготовила сборник композиций Дюка Эллингтона, блюзовые баллады из бродвейских мюзиклов. В конце 50-х она уже записала 10 альбомов. Симон выступала на концертах не только как певица с удивительно богатым и гибким вокалом, но также как пианистка, танцовщица и актриса.
В 1965 г. вышел самый успешный альбом I Put a Spell on You, в который вошли её самые популярные хиты:
I Put a Spell on You (автор Screamin' Jay Hawkins), Feeling Good и Ne me quitte pas.
В 1966 последовал диск Wild is the Wind. Эти записи относились скорее к поп-соулу, некоторые критики стали называть её жрицей соула.
Нина Симон была лично знакома с Мартином Лютером Кингом, борцом за права чернокожих американцев. После его убийства, а также после убийства четырех чернокожих детей появилось произведение Mississippi Goddam. Песни этой же тематики, такие как Pirate Jenny, интерпретация песни Жака Бреля Ne me quitte pas стали классическими.
В 1968 году она выпустила сингл — политически заострённую песню Ain’t Got No из хиппи-мюзикла «Волосы». К этому времени пресса обсуждала капризное поведение певицы на сцене.
Песни из ее репертуара в дальнейшем пелись также другими исполнителями и становились хитами. Это, например Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, впоследствии рок-хит группы The Animals. Известная в ее исполнении песня The House of the Rising Sun также стала хитом в исполнении The Animals. Песня I Put a Spell on You оказала влияние на вокальные партии в хите Michelle группы The Beatles.
Альбомы конца 60-х были не такие эклектичные и непредсказуемые, как ее ранние альбомы.
В 1970 году Симон объявила о том, что разочарована американским шоу-бизнесом, и удалилась на Барбадос. Остаток жизни провела во Франции.
С 1970 по 1978 годы она подготовила семь студийных работ, сборник песен под собственный аккомпанемент. После долгого перерыва в 1993 году вышел последний альбом c новым материалом: A Single Woman.
Последние годы Нина Симон страдала от рака молочной железы, что в итоге и стало причиной её смерти в апреле 2003 года. Она скончалась во сне в своём доме в городке Кари-ле-Руе на юге Франции в возрасте 70 лет.
За свою карьеру Нина Симон выпустила 170 студийных и концертных альбомов и синглов, исполнила более 320 песен.
