I Love To Love

Nina Simone was one of the most extraordinary artists of the twentieth century, an icon of American music. She earned the moniker 'High Priestess of Soul' for she could weave a spell so seductive and hypnotic that the listener lost track of time and space as they became absorbed in the moment. She was who the world would come to know as Nina Simone. Herewith an EP Selection from Nina with "I Love To Love You", "Jazz As Played In An Exclusive Side Street Club" and "My Baby Just Cares For Me," previously recorded by Nate King Cole, Count Basie, and Woody Herman. The song was used by Chanel in a perfume commercial in Europe in the 1980's and it became a massive hit for Nina, a British chart topper at #5, and thus a staple of her repertoire for the rest of her career.
