The album's title became her enduring nickname, a testament to how completely she embodied its themes, drawing on the Black church tradition and African American folk roots while remaining utterly her own. It stands as a natural bridge between her earlier jazz and pop recordings and the more openly activist work that would define her late 1960s output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. High Priestess of Soul is the last album Simone released under Philips Records. 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.\" After this album title, Nina Simone was sometimes referred to as \"the high priestess of soul.\" Nina Simone was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, and civil rights activist who worked in a broad range of musical styles including classical, jazz, blues, folk, R\u0026amp;B, gospel, and pop. Simone's musical style fused gospel and pop with classical music, in particular Johann Sebastian Bach, and accompanied expressive, jazz-like singing in her contralto voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Don't You Pay Them No Mind (3:00)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. I'm Gonna Leave You (2:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Brown Eyed Handsome Man (2:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Keeper Of The Flame (3:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. The Gal From Joe's (2:42)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Take Me To The Water (2:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. I'm Going Back Home (2:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. I Hold No Grudge (2:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Come Ye (3:35)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. He Ain't Comin' Home No More (3:09)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Work Song (3:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. I Love My Baby (4:03)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600753605745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.30.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Philips (PHS 600-219)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1967  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Don't You Pay Them No Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 I'm Gonna Leave You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Brown Eyed Handsome Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Keeper Of The Flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 The Gal From Joe's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA6 Take Me To The Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA7 I'm Going Back Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 I Hold No Grudge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Come Ye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 He Ain't Comin' Home No More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Work Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 I Love My Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJack McMahon – Edited By (Tape Editor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDel Shields – Liner Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHal Mooney – Producer, Arranged By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547782893886,"sku":"119838","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633307513150-transparent-v2.png?v=1791443430","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/nina-simone-high-priestess-of-soul-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
