The 36-years old gospel-reared, classically-trained pianist, Nina Simone literally stumbled upon her first and only U.S. Top 20 pop single, 'I Love You Porgy' after a Philadelphia disc jockey began playing the cut from her debut LP for Bethlehem Records in response to constant requests. `The Amazing Nina Simone', originally released in '59, was at the time an indicator of what music buyers would come to expect form an artist t whose impact on audiences the world over would indeed be profound.
