Nina Simone: Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

Philips, 1966

Wild Is The Wind, Nina Simone’s sixth album for Philips, has all the variety her work for the label was known for - from the starkly minimal title track to the traditional folk song “Black Is The Colour Of My True Love’s Hair,” and the banned-on-radio “Four Women”. In 2020, the album was ranked 212 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
