This is the closing song on the new "Man From Uncle" film It is from Nina's Put a Spell on You Album
As befits its use in a Spy Movie the lyrics are quite sexist, and this surprises me as Nina was a strong woman 
passionate about women's and Civil rights. It is a simple song but Nina's voice is the wow factor.

The story behind the song

Nina Simone, often called the High Priestess of Soul, was a composer, concert pianist, singer, and songwriter whose music spanned classical, folk, gospel, blues, jazz, R&B, and pop. Her piano playing, strongly influenced by baroque and classical music, particularly Bach, beautifully complemented her expressive, jazz-like contralto voice. This song, appearing on her "Best Of" collection, embodies the powerful and eclectic spirit of an artist who remained musically active throughout her life. It plays like a direct and soulful call to action, urging a focus on what truly matters.
