Her rejection by the Philadelphia-based Curtis Institute Of Music; time spent as a pianist in an Atlantic City nightclub; her jazz, gospel, pop and classical influences \u2013 all these had fused to make her one of the most complex, fascinating and talented artists of the decade. Simone released her debut album in 1958, but when she signed to Philips, in 1964, her creative output was about to dovetail with the Civil Rights movement \u2013 notably coinciding with the Civil Rights Act Of 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, gender, religious affiliation or nationality.<\/p>\n<p>In Simone&#8217;s hands, &#8220;Don&#8217;t Let Me Be Misunderstood&#8221; was as much a demand as it was a plea, and on 1965&#8217;s\u00a0<strong><em>I Put A Spell On You<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0she continued to record songs with a deep personal resonance. Her version of the title track remains as mesmerizing as its name suggests, while covers of Charles Aznavour&#8217;s &#8220;Tomorrow Is My Turn&#8221; and Jacques Brel&#8217;s &#8220;Ne Me Quitte Pas&#8221; are equally strong declarations. Meanwhile, Simone once again turned to musical theatre for &#8220;Feeling Good&#8221; (lifted from the 1964 stage show\u00a0<em>The Roar Of The Greasepaint \u2013 The Smell Of The Crowd<\/em>), instantly owning the song with her definitive version. Artists as varied as Billy Paul, Muse and Michael Bubl\u00e9 have since covered it, but none with as much dedication \u2013 and spine-tingling effect \u2013 as Simone.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0<strong>all-analog 180g vinyl LP reissue<\/strong>\u00a0was\u00a0<strong>mastered from the original analog tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound<\/strong>, pressed at QRP, and comes housed in a Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklisting:<br \/>\n01. I Put a Spell On You<br \/>\n02.
