First I guess is called "It's all over now", the second and last is "I put a spell on you". I hear at the end that the maker does know he's been playing Nina..
The Nina Simone song at 7:30 is her version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You," which is also the title of Nina's autobiography. Nina did an excellent version of Bessie Smith's "I Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl" from her RCA Records debut, "Mina Simone Sings The Blues." Nina was more musically closer to her idol, Billie Holiday, but could sing the blues just as strong as any bluesman/woman of the day. Bessie and Nina live on 4-ever...
Wow, what a lovely book; thank you for sharing.
I loved the first song in the background 'It's All Over', it went really well with the book. Nina is a sensation but Bessie is the best of the best.
The illustrations in this book are beautiful; lovely. X

You should have had Bessie singing in the background—well, if it had to be Nina, why not one of her recordings of a Bessie Smith song?
Don't mind me, I love Bessie and the fact that you did this.
