Rare Nina Simone Live Cuts, Interviews on Digital Comp

Rare Nina Simone Live Cuts, Interviews on Digital Comp The late Nina Simone-- ultra-distinctive vocalist, "High Priestess of Soul", and general badass-- has a collection of previously unreleased video interviews and live songs that will hit iTunes on April 8.

The collection is titled Protest Anthology, and it is the first in a five-release series from digital distribution company the Orchard.
