Nina Simone - Silk & Soul

Silk & Soul, segundo álbum de Nina Simone para el sello RCA, significa un regreso al soul luego de Nina Simone Sings the Blues, grabados en el mismo año, 1967.

Nina canta con energía piezas no memorables pero que en su voz adquieren lustre y se las apropia, como por ejemplo en It Be's That Way Sometime (Samuel L. Waymon), Go to Hell (Morris Bailey Jr.) y I Wish I Know How It Would Feel to Be Free (B. Taylor).****
