Description:Vinyl LP pressing. Nina Simone's sixth album for Philips Records was Wild Is the Wind, released in 1966. The album was compiled from several recordings that were left over from sessions for previous Philips albums. The song "Four Women" was released as a single, and gained attention when banned by the New York jazz focused radio station WLIB due to concern over the lyrics. "Wild Is The Wind" was covered by David Bowie on his 1976 studio recording Station to Station. 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&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., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Liner Notes: Sid Mark, Producer: Hal Mooney, Labelcode 5360573 (0600753605738, PHS 600-207), Phonographic Copyright (p) The Verve Music Group, Copyright (c) The Verve Music Group, Record Company UMG Recordings, Inc., Distributed By Universal Music Enterprises
