High Priestess of Soul

Stunning and achingly beautiful 1966 album. 'High Priestess of Soul' is a studio album by jazz singer, pianist and songwriter Nina Simone. The songs are accompanied by a large band directed by Hal Mooney. The album contains popular songs (such as 'Don't You Pay Them No Mind') and African American gospel and folk related songs written by Simone herself (such as 'Take Me to the Water' and 'Come Ye').
