I’m so glad I stumbled upon Nina Simone Live 65 & 68. This 45-minute compilation of two live performances showcases Nina Simone at the height of her power, blending stunning music with a magnetic stage presence. Watching Simone’s personality shine through during these shows is just as satisfying as hearing her legendary voice. Her charm and tenacity are on full display, especially in the first performance, which ends around the 24-minute mark.

I couldn’t recommend this more to anyone who appreciates raw, unfiltered talent. It’s a rare and intimate look at one of music’s greatest voices, and you won’t want to miss the chance to witness Simone’s brilliance both on and off the stage.
