The High Priestess of Soul, the great Nina Simone, died today at the age of 70. She is one of the few performers I really wish I'd been able to see in person, on vinyl alone she took your breath away. If you've never heard her before, here are some great places to start:

The Essential Nina Simone
Nina Simone & Piano
Wild is the Wind/High Priestess
Volume 17 - Verve Masters, Nina Simone
The Very Best of Nina Simone 1967-1972
and the longest version of See-Line Woman youíve ever heard is on Verve Remixed
