Several special releases are planned throughout this year to mark what would have been Nina Simone’s 90th birthday. Verve Records and Universal Music begin the yearlong celebration of the iconic artist’s renowned career with the release of Great Women of Song: Nina Simone, a 12-track collection of her most beloved hits. It’s the first release of Verve’s Great Women of Song series, which will highlight the works of storied musicians in the label’s catalogue including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and more. Great Women of Song: Nina Simone is available now digitally and on CD and will be released on vinyl May 12. Accompanying the campaign launch is the first official music video for the classic “I Put a Spell on You.”
