After the success of her 1964 sociopolitical album ‘Nina Simone in Concert,’
@ninasimone 1965 album, ‘I Put A Spell On You’ took an unexpected turn, highlighting happiness and optimism in the face of the tumult and turmoil of the mid 1960s. “Feeling Good,” one of the big anthems from that record was actually never released as a single, but grew to popularity in the 90s after being used in several commercials, films, and TV shows. The song has also been covered or sampled by artists like Michael Buble, Muse, and Avicii. Much like Simone’s influential catalog and career, the song carries an eternal shelf life across mediums and genres.
