59 years ago today — on September 16th, 1966 — #ninasimone’s album WILD IS THE WIND was released.
Fun fact: WILD IS THE WIND was one of the very FIRST music albums commercially released on cassette tape. There’s speculation as to exactly which album was THE first but general consensus is that the first album released on cassette was: WILD IS THE WIND (Nina Simone), LOVE FOR SALE (Eartha Kitt), or THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE (Johnny Mathis)
