Nina Simone has us Feeling Good this week with her twelfth studio album, I Put A Spell On You! She's come to be known as the High Priestess Of Soul, and for good reason -- her classically-trained piano playing and expressive vocals lend themselves perfectly to the soulful R&B and jazz music she chose to sing. As a vocal figure during the Civil Rights Movement she helped give rise to the protest song as a tool and art form, and her career was fraught with turbulence from within and without. We'll talk about the wildlife of Barbados, a record-breaking vocal performance, and a time she REALLY lost her temper as we Take Care Of Business with this record. Happy New Year!
