Let it All Out :Selected Singles 1961-1972 (Vinyl)
Iconā is an overused word when it comes to describing singers and musicians, but when it comes to Nina Simone there are few artists that the word describes more accurately. The āHigh Priestess Of Soulā is surely one of the most iconic singers of the 20th century, and one whose fame and acclaim stretches far beyond conventional black American music circles.
Nina Simone has featured on Ace and Kent CDs before but this is the first time sheās had one all to herself. āLet It All Outā is the first and only Nina Simonecollection to draw repertoire from every label she recorded for between the late 1950s to the late 1970s.
Not a traditional āBest Ofā or āGreatest Hitsā package (although the performances included here ARE among her very best, and do include most of her Greatest Hits!) it is a singles collection that presents Nina Simoneās soul and R&B-slanted 45s in chronological order. Invariably they are the definitive versions of the songs, whether she recorded the original versions or not.
As well as almost all of her American pop and R&B chart hits from 1960 onwards, āLet It All Outā also contains all of Simoneās UK chart hits from the same period ā several of which were more successful here than they were back home, including both versions of her biggest British hit āAināt Got No; I Got Lifeā, a UK #2 that did not chart at all in the US as was the case with the belated UK Top 5 hit āMy Baby Just Cares For Meā which also made no chart impression on its home turfā¦
Carefully curated and concisely annotated, āLet It All Outā lets the listener in to two dozen of Nina Simoneās most celebrated singles. There have been many compilations of her works since she passed away 20+ years ago, but none that gets to the heart ā and soul ā of her catalogue in quite so direct a manner as this one does.
