About this album

My Baby Just Cares For Me distils Nina Simone’s early power as a singer-pianist who could move effortlessly between jazz, blues and soul-jazz. Compiled in 1982, it brings together key recordings from her classic early period, including the breakthrough title track, Mood Indigo, Love Me Or Leave Me and I Loves You Porgy. Simone’s style is all here: stern poise, rhythmic bite, theatrical feeling and a piano touch that turns standards into personal statements. The compilation also reflects the posthumous rise of her reputation, as My Baby Just Cares For Me became one of her best-known songs and helped introduce her to a wider pop audience.
