[b]Nina Simone - Live In '65 & '68 (2008)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Nina Simone: Live in '65 & '68 is an amazing testimony of the power of song to communicate emotions,<br /> and the power of Nina Simone to communicate through song. For those of you who thought they had <br />seen impassioned singers before, this disc will leave all of them in its wake. While it's irresponsible to label<br /> anyone as a spokesperson for any group of people, Nina Simone's singing captures a good deal of what<br /> it must have been like to be black in America during those tumultuous times. Like the griot she was, she<br /> told the story of her people in song, and this DVD is a record of her storytelling.<br /><br />The extensive liner notes that come with the enclosed booklet, are an amazing overview of Nina Simone's<br /> life and career, providing information that you'd be hard pressed to find on any other similar music collection.<br /> For lovers of Nina Simone, and those just new to her work, Nina Simone: Live In '65 & '68 will be a pleasure<br /> and a revelation.<br /><br />This release contains a dozen songs performed by Nina Simone.
