NO SLOUCH AS A SONGWRITER HERSELF, NINA SIMONE ABLY PICKED A VARIETY OF COMPOSITIONAL CLASSICS FROM THE NEW ROCK ERA FOR HER 1969 LP 'TO LOVE SOMEBODY'. OPENING WITH A BEAUTIFUL, INTROSPECTIVE VERSION OF LEONARD COHEN'S 'SUZANNE' SIMONE SHOWS AN OBVIOUS AFFINITY FOR SOCIAL STATEMENTS WITH THE BYRDS' 'TURN! TURN! TURN! (TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON)' AND A TRIO OF DYLAN STANDARDS: 'I SHALL BE RELEASED', JUST LIKE TOM THUMB'S BLUES' PLUS A DRAMATIC, MEDITATIVE 'THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'. THE ALBUM TITLE IS TAKEN FROM THE BEE GEES SONG 'TO LOVE SOMEBODY'. HER COVER OF THE SONG BECAME HER SECOND BRITISH HIT SINGLE AFTER 'AIN'T GOT NO-I GOT LIFE'. ALSO 'I CAN'T SEE NOBODY' IS A SONG BY THE BEE GEES. 'REVOLUTION' (PARTS 1 & 2) WAS SIMONE'S THIRD SUBSEQUENT SINGLE RELEASED IN THE UK, AFTER 'AIN'T GOT NO-I GOT LIFE' AND 'TO LOVE SOMEBODY' BOTH BECAME HITS.
