Placing Simone and her music firmly within the socio-historical context of the 1960s, this book also argues for the importance of considering the artist's entire career and for paying greater attention to her music than is often the case in biographical accounts.

Nina Simone, a twentieth-century musical giant, has been astonishingly neglected - by listeners, critics and scholars. Richard Elliott explains why, but his wonderful book does far more: with enviable depth of analysis and breadth of cultural reference, he summons Simone's music to a rendezvous with history that its significance, power and beauty always promised. An event, in every sense.' Richard Middleton, Emeritus Professor of Music, Newcastle University
