Nina Simone was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, and civil rights activist. She recorded and performed music in many different styles, including gospel, jazz, blues, pop, and R&B.
I Put A Spell on You, her 12th studio album, is the closest you will hear Nina Simone come to pop music.
This song was originally written by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, and was also performed by Bette Midler in the classic Halloween film Hocus Pocus. However, Nina’s version remains the most enchanting to this day.
Happy Halloween! 🎃
