Nina Simone: Little Girl Blue (1959)
Her studio debut which is extraordinary even now for how she effortlessly shifts from swing, blues, jazz, church music and classical on piano, and that distinctive voice arriving fully formed. Includes the lovely He Needs Me ballad, the Gershwins’ I Loves You Porgy, an astonishing instrumental treatment of You’ll Never Walk Alone and My Baby Just Cares For Me which became a hit and one of her signature songs decades later. One of the great debut albums.
