Nina Simone’s classic 1965 release I Put A Spell On You stands as a towering achievement in her catalog —an exploration of love, desire, and defiance. Anchored by her smoldering version of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ title track, the album weaves together bawdy blues (“Gimme Some,” “Take Care of Business”), sophisticated French songwriting (“Ne Me Quitte Pas,” “You’ve Got to Learn”) and jazz-infused soul, including the streaming-era anthem “Feeling Good,” whose bold, brassy arrangement still resonates today.
Songs from the album have become standards in her legendary catalog, and the album itself is a gateway for new listeners discovering her music. The impact of I Put a Spell On You across the musical landscape is immeasurable and growing still.
