"Revolution" is a 2:53 song by American jazz musician Nina Simone and Weldon Irvine. It was released as a single and also featured on the album To Love Somebody (1969). The single release was split over two sides of a 45 rpm disc and, for an unknown reason, these two edits were also used as separate tracks on the album. The song was released the same years as The Beatles' "Revolution", and shares some structural similarities.
"Revolution" didn't do as well as expected and Simone has expressed surprise and disappointment at its lack of success.[1]References
