Description: Nina Simone's debut LP for the Bethlehem label, 1958's LITTLE GIRL BLUE, presents Simone's brooding sound and highly-focused eclecticism fully-formed from the very start. Even from the beginning, she stood to inherit Billie Holiday's mantle as the premiere jazz singer of the moment--a socially significant yet highly musical artist for the civil rights era just beginning to emerge. Whether by design or accident, Simone's classy juxtaposition of Bach, folk, and jazz standards--all '50s supper club staples to be sure--managed to pack a mighty prescient message for the heady days to come. Highlights include the original "My Baby Just Cares For Me" and a tender "I Loves You Porgy."A1 Mood Indigo 4:00A2 Don't Smoke In Bed 3:09A3 He Needs Me 2:26A4 Little Girl Blue 4:12A5 Love Me Or Leave Me 3:18A6 My Baby Just Cares For Me 3:33B1 Good Bait 5:25B2 Plain Gold Ring 3:50B3 You'll Never Walk Alone 3:58B4 I Loves You Porgy 4:03B5 Central Park Blues 3:05
