Simone Nina: Forbidden Fruit Ltd Clr

LP Record When "Forbidden Fruit" was released on the Colpix label in 1961, Nina Simone's popularity was only just beginning to grow, reaching its peak several years later. She was only 28, but her amazing voice was already fully developed, making it easy to predict a long career that would establish her as one of the most important singers in jazz history. In the years that followed, her music and her commitment to the Civil Rights Movement would catapult her into the ranks of the most influential figures in African-American music. Even on the album "Forbidden Fruit", she reveals herself as a stunning interpreter and a formidable pianist.
