"Just in Time" was used at the end of the movie Before Sunset (2004).
Complete your Nina Simone collection. Nina At The Village Gate (LP, Album, RE, 180). Pure Pleasure Records. Nina Simone is a unique artist who defies categorisation, the pigeon holes of Jazz or Soul don't fit, if anything she's closer to Folk, Gospel or the Blues; probably best to give her her own category of Simonesque. The third live instalment from Simone on the Colpix label, is an intimate recording giving you the atmosphere of the small club.
Nina Simone has the rare ability of really being able to dig into material and bring out unexpected meaning in familiar lyrics. On "Just in Time" from this set, she gives one the impression that if she had not been found "Just in Time," she would have committed suicide. During "He Was Too Good to Me," Simone sounds absolutely stunned about the end of a love affair. Brown Baby" is both hopeful and defiant in its call for freedom, while "Zungo" is an African work song.
