Perhaps the finest reading ever recorded of "Little Girl Blue" turned in by Nina Simone in 1958. The song was composed in 1935 with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart for the Broadway musical "Jumbo" where it was introduced by Gloria Grafton. This is the recording that first garnered Nina a lot of national attention and was used as the title to her debut album.

  • Only Nina, the fine musician and pianist that she was, could start out this song playing "Good King Wencelas" as the intro and then go into the song.  Beautiful version, very true to the spirit of Rodgers and Hart.
