Little Girl Bluewas Nina Simone’s debut album and first studio recording. Recorded when she was 25 years old, it was a tremendous success and led to a career that would produce more than 80 studio sessions. It contains such perennial classics as “I Loves You Porgy” and “My Baby Just Cares for Me”.

“Little Girl Blue, released in 1957, was Nina Simone’s first recording, originally issued on the Bethlehem label. Backed by bassist Jimmy Bond and Albert ‘Tootie’ Heath, it showcases her ballad voice as one of mystery and sensuality and showcases her up-tempo jazz style with authority and an enigmatic down-home feel that is nonetheless elegant.”
