This collection encompasses Simone's first two releases from the Colpix Label, a
division of Columbia Pictures..when Darryl F Zanuck's sister heard Nina Simone's
great artistry, she offered the singer a better deal than the one she got with
Bethlehem. In fact, after only one recording and her #7 hit "I Loves You Porgy"
from "Porgy & Bess", Nina was unhappy. She wasn't being promoted much, and
the lucrative deal was just what she needed. With her Colpix years, she was able
to establish a reputation as an individual artist who could incorporate folk and
blues seamlessly with jazz, while adding a classical flair. Her first recording
for Colpix, "The Amazing Nina Simone", includes a haunting rendition of "(Theme
from) Middle of the Night", a Columbia Picture. Likewise, other great songs like
"Solitaire," "That's Him Over There", "Tomorrow (We Will Meet Once More" and "It
Might as Well Be Spring" balance more uptempo numbers like "Stompin' at The
Savoy," "Chilly Winds Don't Blow", and "Children Go Where I Send You." Simone's
next album, "Nina Simone at Town Hall," showcases her talent as a pianist.
Outstanding pieces include "Theme from Samson & Delilah (instrumental),
"Black Swan", and "Under The Lowest (instrumental). Vocal standouts are her
interpretation of the folk ballad "Black is The Color of My True Love's Hair"
and "You Can Have Him".
