Nina's second LP, originally released in 1959, the Amazing Nina Simone features a repertoire ranging from a swinging 'Stompin' at the Savory' and an emotional 'It Might As Well Be Spring' to and English folk ballad 'Tomorrow', spirituals, and an R&B song 'You've Been Gone Too Long' and is backed by a subtle orchestra arranged by Bob Mersey that effectively showcases her top-form vocals.
