Let It All Out

Let It All Out is an album by Nina Simone, released by Philips Records in February 1966.

[1][5][6] The song "Chauffeur" is an adaptation of Memphis Minnie's "Me and My Chauffeur Blues" (1941), which Simone first heard Big Mama Thornton sing.

[7] Thornton released her version as "Me and My Chauffeur" on the B-side of her "Before Day" single on James Moore's Sharp label in 1964.

[8] Simone's version is credited to Andy Stroud, her husband and manager at the time, who adapted it and "Nearer Blessed Lord" for her.

[7] "Images", sung a cappella by Simone, is based on a poem by Waring Cuney.
