Live at Ronnie Scott's is an album by singer/pianist/songwriter Nina Simone (1933-2003). It is a live recording of a concert she gave at Ronnie Scott's Club in 1984, a London venue where she performed a few times in her later life.

Information about songs on this album

* "Fodder In Her Wings" and "I Sing Just To Know That I'm Alive", Nina first recorded these self-written songs on Fodder On My Wings (1982). Both are very personal to her, talking about Nina's estrangement from people and closing a bad chapter and beginning a new one.
*"Be My Husband", written by her ex-husband and ex-manager Andrew Stroud, first featured on Pastel Blues (1965). Later covered by Jeff Buckley as "Be Your Husband".
*"I Loves You Porgy", her first hit-single from her debut Little Girl Blue (1958).
*Mississippi Goddam, Nina wrote this civil rights song after four black girls died during a church bombing, first featured on Nina Simone In Concert (1964).
*"Moon Over Alabama", together with Mississippi Goddam Nina sings this song, to show that the two songs, that both came out in 1964, have a similar melody. She therefore switches between the two songs during the performance.
*"My Baby Just Cares For Me", Nina introduces this last song with:

I guess this is what you've all been waiting for...
She often did that when performing it live in her later years. It is the song that brought her back into the limelight after it featured in a commercial in 1982, yet it wasn't a song she particularly liked or wished to be remembered by [Simone, Nina; Cleary, Stephen. I Put A Spell On You, 1992 (Da Capo Press), ISBN 0679410686 ] .
