Synopsis
Nina Simone is probably best known for her hit "My Baby Just Cares For Me", a re-release which marked the triumphant return of a singer with a remarkable, but tragic career. Often compared to artists like Billy Holiday and Edith Piaf, Nina differs in one essential way - she is a true survivor. Born in North Carolina she suffered poverty and racial prejudice before making her name as a musician. She survived a stormy marriage, tragic love affair, arrest, imprisonment, mental breakdown and an attempted suicide before making the long climb back to the top. This is an account of the life of a singer who has now become a legend.

Review
"Ms. Simone's vocal and piano style make her a culture unto herself."
Lincoln Center Institute Resource Center blog, 7/9/09
Compelling, honest, and powerful. It is meticulously packed with historical information on America during some of its ugliest times, coming from the voice of someone who lived through it everyday a voice of a woman who devoted her adult life to changing the face of society From a musical standpoint alone, "I Put a Spell On You" is an extremely valuable read. However, this would also be a unique, relevant and worthwhile addition to any high-school or collegiate history library, or anyone with an interest in the civil rights movement both politically and artistically.
