"An album of excellent cover versions of classic songs. Each one interpreted with genuine heart felt delivery as if written and sung for the first time by Nina Simone. The arrangements are tasteful, not overblown and compliment her unique voice. Nina Simone's versions of these timeless songs are better than the originals. Once played, you just want to play it over again. I have been listening to this recording for over 20 years and do not tire of it. Play this album over a romantic dinner for two. This really is a classic album."
One of Nina's Best

"I owned this album as a vinyl LP when it came out, but lost it during one of too many moves. There's not a single bad or even indifferent track, and a few that are about as good as this kind of music can get.
Will never get tired of this brilliant collection."

"This CD is sourced from various live performances, no locations or dates given. So at least you know it isn't a compilation of different studio recordings...."
