1961 LP Colpix Records  CP 419

Recorded in New York City 1961.

Forbidden Fruit is an album by jazz singer/pianist/songwriter Nina Simone. It was her second studio album for Colpix. The rhythm section accompanying her is the same trio as on both live albums prior and after this release.

"Gin House Blues", Nina would re-record this song in a more rhythmic way on Nuff Said (1968). "Work Song", written by Oscar Brown, Jr and Nat Adderley tells the story about a chain gang. This song is also featured on Nina’s Choice (1963), Nina Simone with Strings (1966), and High Priestess of Soul (1967). "Forbidden Fruit", the title song, one of three on the album by Oscar Brown, Jr. It's a "humorous up-tempo take on Adam and Eve was part nursery rhyme, part call and response."
