This 2000 release is the first to feature Nina's works from 4 record labels on 1 disc. Covering 1957-1971, it contains 16 important tracks, including the controversial Mississippi Goddam; To Be Young, Gifted and Black; Blues For Mama; I Want a Little Sugar In My Bowl; I Loves You Porgy; the recently discovered Jelly Roll; My Baby Just Cares For Me, Don't Smoke in Bed, and more. Remastered from the best possible source tapes, this collection includes an extensive essay from noted Nina writer David Nathan. Despite never having enjoyed true crossover success, this remarkable artist has proven herself to be a star in her own right and her beautiful, classic songs have never been without a large audience and a strong following.

While not a new release, we are re-featuring this title because several of her best songs are included on this single disc.
