High Priestess of Soul
High Priestess of Soul is a studio album by singer, pianist and songwriter Nina Simone. The songs are accompanied by a large band directed and arranged by Hal Mooney. The album contains pop songs (such as "Don't You Pay Them No Mind") and African American gospel and folk-related songs written by Simone herself (such as "Take Me to the Water" and "Come Ye"). After this album title – an attempt to broaden her appeal by management execs – Nina Simone was sometimes titled “the high priestess of soul”, although she completely rejected the title herself because it placed a label on her as an artist. However, according to her daughter, Lisa, she never hated that moniker.
