Nina Simone - I Put a Spell on You
Manage episode 352689661 series 3324493
The closest Nina Simone ever came to pop, before her civil rights activism, black nationalism and Marxism led to her being blackballed from the mainstream. Featuring stunning interpretations of everything from showtunes and blues workouts to the French balladry of Charles Azvanour, I PUT A SPELL ON YOU (1965) showcases her inimitable blend of classically-trained piano, smoky jazz-contralto and steely vulnerability that demolished the stereotype of the “angry black woman”.
This week on Enjoy An Album with Liam Withnail and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd we talk all about I PUT A SPELL ON YOU, as well as the ‘recent’ Netflix documentary about her life and the ethics of using music in advertising. All that, plus Secret Posho, Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week, the obligatory mention of Muse, and Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo. Enjoy!
