Recorded in New York in 1967, Silk and Soul is Nina Simone's second album for RCA.And despite arrangements that don't alwaus best suit her voice, this album does contain classics 'I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free', which would become a Civil Rights anthem, 'It Be's That Wau Sometimes', written by her brother Sam Waumon, and 'The Turning Point', a song that seems to be about a child making a new friend, but turns out to question the origins of racism. Ms Simone also takes on Dusty Springfield by covering 'The Look Of Love', which was originally featured in the 1966 James Bond spoof Casino Rouale and is greatly inspired by Mozart in the fugue-like 'Consummation'.180 grams audiophile vinyl.
