An essential collection for Simone completists, containing four songs left over from her career-launching debut album "Little Girl Blue". This album was released in 1959 without Simone's knowledge after she left Bethlehem Records. Reappearing here from the debut is Simone's only charting single "I Loves You, Porgy", a Billboard Top 20 hit. Simone shares time on this album equally with "her friends" Chris Connor and Carmen McRae who each contribute four songs.
Nina Simone and Her Friends is an album released by the Bethlehem Records label that compiled songs by jazz singers Nina Simone, Carmen McRae and Chris Connor. All three artists had left the label and signed with other companies by the time Bethlehem released this album. The numbers by Simone were previously unissued "left overs" from the recording sessions for her debut album Little Girl Blue (1958) and released without her knowledge. The tracks by Chris Connor and Carmen McRae were already issued together this way as Bethlehem's Girlfriends in 1956 accompanied by the debut recording session of Julie London.
