First broadcast: May 2015.
Episode 17/17 Over half a century since she first performed her songs, Nina Simone is more popular than ever. From Sinnerman to Mississippi Goddam, Feeling Good to My Baby Just Cares for Me, she is an artist with an extraordinary songbook that mixes jazz, blues, soul and even classical.
British soul singer Laura Mvula travels to New York to celebrate the Nina songs that mean most to her and explore their musical roots. Performing with a Harlem gospel choir, uncovering the influence of Nina's classical training and meeting Simone's long-time guitarist Al Shackman, Laura presents a personal tribute to the genius of her musical hero.
Laura said when she listens to Nina she thinks "why do I want to cry?" That is exactly how I feel when I listen to Laura Mvula. Absolutely love her voice and her music.
I thought I was the only one that felt this way for Nina Simone... she still touches so many who Loves her ARTISTRY. Her spirit lives on through her Music.. Love.
This is pure gold. I have been a devoted fan of Laura's since my first exposure to her music. And here she surprises me again, sharing her thoughts about Nina Simone in a beautiful documentary. It's wonderful.
Wonderful, Mrs. Mvula. You got her.
I am actually often captured by her brilliance at the piano. These lines she plays that flow so beautiful. Or the piano solo in My Baby ... its just an example. Many forget over the simple song what brilliance is in the solo there. So elegant and rhythmic at the same time.
PEACE AND LOVE, YOU TOUCH ME AND I AM SURE, MANY MORE WITH YOUR LOVE AND TALENT!
Two of my favourite artist. This is joy:)

I'm in tears through this entire thing...
Never heard of Laura Mvula before this video remember the aardman animation 'my baby just cares for me', learnt of gospel music thanks to "The Blues brothers" movie, Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker, the Blues Brothers Band et. al. Always thought if church was like in the movie, I'd go to church!
