VIDEO: Sneak Peek at Annie Lennox's NOSTALGIA in Concert on PBS's GREAT PERFORMANCES

Throughout her four-decade career, music superstar Annie Lennox has defied categorization, diving into blues, soul, folk and pop to create songs that captivate and transcend boundaries.

In her latest album NOSTALGIA, Lennox has revealed yet another dimension to her formidable talent. Although jazz is not the genre for which she is best known, she could no longer resist the magnetic pull of some of the most memorable melodies and lyrics from the American Songbook. Nostalgia, the singer's seventh solo album, has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

And with the GREAT PERFORMANCES special, "Annie Lennox: Nostalgia Live in Concert", the singer's unique interpretations bring a new intimacy to these timeless classics. The special airs Friday, April 3 at 10 p.m. on PBS. (Check local listings.)

In the 60-minute concert - which was taped at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles in January - Lennox performs songs from the Nostalgia album like "Summertime," "Strange Fruit," "I Cover the Waterfront" and "God Bless the Child."
