Here is a BRAND NEW, SEALED "Pastel Blue" Stereo LP record by Nina Simone.

This is an ORIGINAL US Philips PHS 600-187 LP. This is NOT A REISSUED album.

"Pastel Blues" is a studio album by singer/pianist/songwriter Nina Simone. It was recorded in 1964 and 1965 in New York City and released in 1965 by Philips Records. The name Pastel Blues is somewhat deceiving because the songs on the album incorporate different musical styles besides the blues, such as jazz, soul and folk music. "Be My Husband" was written by Andrew Stroud, Simone's husband and manager at the time. She sings it a acappella with her hand clapping and a hi-hat as her only accompaniment. "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" was originally sung by Bessie Smith, the great blues singer in the 1920s/1930's. Her songs had a great influence on Simone. "Tell Me More and More and Then Some" and "Strange Fruit" were originally sung by Billie Holiday. "Sinnerman" is one of Simone's most famous songs. Simone learned the lyrics of this more than 10 minute song when it was used on revival meetings by her mother to help people confess their sins. "Sinnerman" has been featured in various films, commercials including "The Thomas Crown Affair," "Cellular, the David Lynch film "Inland Empire," and an episode of the TV show Scrubs.
