"Revolution" didn't do as well as expected and Simone has expressed surprise and disappointment at its lack of success.

  Title: High Priestess of Soul
  Passage: High Priestess of Soul is a studio album by jazz singer, pianist and songwriter Nina Simone.  The songs are accompanied by a large band directed and arranged by Hal Mooney.  The album contains popular songs (such as "Don't You Pay Them No Mind") and African American gospel and folk related songs written by Simone herself (such as "Take Me to the Water" and "Come Ye").  After this album title –an attempt to broaden her appeal by management execs– Nina Simone was sometimes titled “the high priestess of soul”, although she completely rejected the title herself because it placed a label on her as an artist.  However, according to her daughter, Simone, she never hated that moniker.
  Title: Revolution (Beatles song)
  Passage: "Revolution" is a song by the Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney.  Three versions of the song were recorded in 1968: a slow, bluesy arrangement (titled "Revolution 1") for the Beatles' self-titled double album, commonly known as "the White Album"; a more abstract musical collage (titled "Revolution 9") that originated as the latter part of "Revolution 1" and appears on the same album; and a faster, hard rock version similar to "Revolution 1", released as the B-side of the "Hey Jude" single.  Although the single version was issued first, it was recorded several weeks after "Revolution 1", as a re-make specifically intended for release as a single.
