Nina Simone was one of the most gifted vocalists of her generation, and also one of the most eclectic. 　　Simone was a singer, pianist, and songwriter who bent genres to her will rather than allowing herself to be confined by their boundaries; her work swung back and forth between jazz, blues, soul, classical, r&b, pop, gospel, and world music, with passion, emotional honesty, and a strong grasp of technique as the constants of her musical career. includes “the amazing nina simone”, “nina at town hall”, “forbidden fruit”, “nina simone sings ellington” and “folksy nina”
