#212 Nina Simone, 'Wild Is the Wind' (1966)

Nina Simone’s sixth studio album was compiled from songs that were left over from other sessions. What. How were these songs leftovers? The album starts with the sexy RnB song, ‘I Love Your Lovin’ Ways.’ It set the tone, or so I thought. Song 2 stopped me in my tracks. Seriously. ‘Four Women,’ is, as the title suggests, about four African American women, four different stereotypical African American women.
