Information about songs on this album

*"I Put a Spell on You", a song originally by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. His version gave the song an ironic theme, but Nina transformed it into a thrilling lovesong, complete with horns and strings. It had become one of her most well known songs. She used the title for her autobiography "I Put A Spell On You" (1992). The Beatles drew inspiration from the song for their song "Michelle".

*"Tomorrow Is My Turn", an English translation of a French song by Charles Aznavour.
*"Ne Me Quitte Pas", a rendition of the song by Jacques Brel. Simone's version was so well received (even stated that it was the only believable version besides that of Brel himself Fact|date=February 2007) that it became one of her own standards in her live repertoire.
*"Feeling Good", Nina's version of this Broadway song has been covered by many artists including Muse and Michael Buble. A sample of the song also featured on Mary J Blige's song "About You" on the album "The Breakthrough" (2006). Katie Melua also sang the song on her tour for the album Call off the Search, which is to be found on a double disc live DVD. Juelz Santana (with Lil Wayne) sampled Feeling Good on their mixtape hit Birds Flyin High.
