This week on the Essentials is the Current's Marketing Manager Ali Lozoff. Her Essential pick is a compilation album called The Essential Nina Simone Collection by singer-songwriter and civil rights activist Nina Simone. Simone passed away in 2003 of breast cancer. However, her incredible and enduring career yielded roughly 40 albums and compilations, which is about enough to ensure that she'll live forever. Not only was she a gifted interpreter of music and lyrics, but she was a fantastic piano player and performer.
