Little Girl Blue' was Nina Simone's first studio recording and features her in an intimate trio setting with bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Albert 'Tootie' Heath. Many of the tracks would become true classics, among them her perennial version of 'My Baby Just Cares for Me'. The album introduced Nina not only as a brilliant singer, but also as a unique jazz pianist. Simone's signature tune, 'I Loves You, Porgy', appears here in her first studio version.
