Four Women: Lisa Simone, Dianne Reeves, Lizz Wright, Angélique Kidjo 

The way sisters curve and sway to a hypnotic beat is legendary.

After over 3 months of Covid and 800 years of oppression...this is salve to my wounds...I'm a music teacher and this whole thing is balm to my injured ❤️

Nina's daughter singing such a passionate classic written by her mother, gives me indescribable feelings.

This would make Nina Simone Proud. Bravo Sisters.

YASSSSS!!! This was STUNNING!!! They captured the pain, the survival, the sensuality, the hypnotism, the power, the strength, and the spirit of the song! I am almost never pleased when people cover this song, because they never do it justice. It was *not* a vocal showpiece to just do a bunch of runs or a performance piece to just dance around to. Nina EMBODIED all those women. And these ladies did a FANTASTIC job with it! One of the first Four Women covers I’ve seen that truly lives up to the live performances that Nina would do. All the ladies were absolutely stunning, in every way.

Nina simone did many things but this was her greatest.i so loved her work.

This performance was spectacular! I can’t stop watching!

I wish we black women loved and honored each other more

One of my favorite Nina Simone songs ever. This rendition is devastatingly beautiful. So deep and heartfelt. Thank you, Peaches, all!

African beauty. Rich skin. Africa is the beginning and end of the Earth 🙌

God bless all the black woman in the world 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Nina Simone is one of the most undecorated ,censored Jewel of the industry. Thank you my Four Sisters for doing this Jewel of a piece

Dianne Reeves just astonished me...Slavery was so dehumanizing and it hurts so much just thinking about it. Dianne Reeves's words are so emotionally powerful , they rip my soul, my heart, my brain,and basically everything else..

Can not stop listening to these Queens!!

Lizz Wiright is such a presence. She wears her body as it was sacred. She's a cult, a religion to herself. I'm amazed.

Four Queens...beautiful

Don’t think I’ve ever seen four women on a stage in possession of such sheer power, beauty and talent. Absolutely wonderful.

Lisa did her mothers song justice

This brings me to tears...we have been thru so much...we still rise...

BRAVO…. Yes CHILLS …. What a wonderful piece of musical genious

lOVE LIZZ WRIGHT

In my days at Yale, in the late Sixties, I was a radio personality and entertainer who had the good fortune to meet and introduce BB King, Donnie Hathaway, and the late great Nina Simone, an experience I will never forget. This song, so captures her essence both as a artist, social commentator, and independent committed black woman. I was sitting talking with my dear African American sister Felicia from Atlanta, when this song came on. It stopped our conversation in our tracks, we were glued to the screen, Felicia called this " Black Girl Magic." Amen, my sister. I had goose bumps and tears began to flow as I relived those times when songs like this captured and inspired our continued commitment to address the grievances of the past, not to be relived in the present, but we still have so much yet to do. I love me some Diane Reeves, and Nina's song and these incredible black women's performances that each reflect the various ways our women and thereby our culture has been violated, truly is outstanding and moving. I love each portrayal, but for me, when the second sister began to sing, her voice echoed the emotions and pain of a hundred years, and captured a vital part of our complex reality: "Between two worlds do I belong. My father was a rich white - he forced my mother late one night. " As the late great Nina Simone so eloquently put it: "Nuff Said!"

I knew I’d love this the minute Angelique Kidjo started with her haunting African chorus - she did a great job. Lizz Wright had me spellbound with her beautiful voice and swaying body. I was rewinding the first two for ages and Googling them to find out more about them. Lisa Simone was so different to what I expected and did a great job - reminded me a bit of Anita Baker. Dianne Reeves had the power voice and I am searching You Tube to hear more of her singing. So glad I found this treasure - saved to faves forever!

Black ⚫women endure, we strive 💪and we have the ability 🙌😀to survive 💪😀👍we have the ability to love 💘❤our children and their children ❤we can also ❤love America 🇺🇸💙and the world 🌎this land has taken so much from us 🇺🇸💙we will never give up we are Black ⚫💙❤women.

WOW!!! That was one of the best investments of 7 minutes and 33 seconds that I have made in a very long time!! Are you kidding me...these beautiful black queens represented this song and its emotion SO WELL!!! My only complaint is that I wasn't there to witness this beautiful occurrence in person. Love, love, love!

Simple lyrics that offer insight into the complexities of being a woman of color. Ms. Simone was the epitome of a revolutionary artist.

Simply hypnotic very moving performance by all four phenomenal women

Perfect performance 🥰😍 Lizz wright (second singer) just amazing, sultry, the voice, the hair, the body😍😍😍😍😍😍!!!!!!

Wow. Just WOW. The arrangement. The vocals. The voices. These WOMEN. Perfection at every level. I’m so glad I clicked on this. For me, this has to be my favorite rendition. OK. I’m gonna stop now. I got a listen to it again. Everyone take care out there. Be well

Saffrania....OMG!! LISA is the daughter of NINA Simone... What a voice!

I cant help stare at Lizz Wright, her movements, appearance, and voice are perfect and hypnotizing. 🙌

This is mesmerizing. That 2nd singer - oh my. Encapsulates the song. Lisa moves to the music. Diane brings the intensity o the song. The unison at the end - unity. Bravos ladies, Bravo.

The camera work was pure genius! Fully in tune with each lady's attributes, showing the full individuals beauty❤❤❤❤ Breathtaking..

The black woman is beautiful. The words of this song are so POWERFUL

I saw this concert live. Unbelievable

Ну я не знаю почему нельзя ставить лайк, когда я смотрю это уже по десятому разу? Тысячу лайков!!!!!! И--bravissimo!!!!! Особенно четвертая солистка, расставляет все точки над "i".

The second lady touched my soul.

Lizz Wright-Saffronia, Lisa Simone-Sweet Thing, Angelique Kidjo-Aunt Sarah, Dianne Reeves-Peaches. Tragic Mulatto, Jezebel, Mammy, Sapphire #ifyouknowyouknow

Every time I hear this I get chills. Their voices take your soul way, way, way back to the temples of Solomon!

4 women, 1 song displayed the unique velvet tapestry of black woman -- their ancestry filled with pain, love, strengths, weakness.... MAGNIFICENT WITH EXCELLENT MUSICIANS!

Holy mother! How have I not seen or heard this one before? I am blown away by the power, the beauty, the allure, the talent of these artists and the talent of the artist who wrote this song.

7 special minutes of my life that time stood still... So many lifetimes of truth, pain, love, beauty, power, elegance, talent, intellect, vibrancy, and depth all compressed into 7 minutes.

Today, tomorrow, and everyday.... C'MON BLACK WOMEN

Lizz Wright's voice gives me chills!

I still get goose bumps whenever I listen to this. The 4 lovely ladies did justice to it. Continue to Rest In Peace Nina Simone!

The third singer miss Lisa Simone is actually Nina Simone only child she really gave me chills

4 Queens 👸🏾❤️🖤💚☮️✊🏾

I've listened to this about 20 times back to back, I'll be back tomorrow for another 20! Classic stuff.

I had the privilage to listen to this beautiful moment on live! I was just in front of those amazing Women.. Ten years later, tears still are there .. Thanks Nina, thanks music, thanks Montreux!

If nothing else is promised to me in this world, this legacy is my blessing

I love that they took Nina's song to such height.

Lizz Wright's voice is from heaven...

What an electrifying version of this song. Too gorgeous and lush! Nina would be so proud!

4 Women by Nina Siomone is a song that expresses a depth of emotions that resonate like an echo from the past to the current day. It was Beautifully sung by these 4 Lovely and Magnificent Women.

Angélique Kidjo... wow I saw her live in Texas love this four singers

Wow that was gorgeous they did right by Nina Simone , her daughter has an amazing voice!

Dianne Reeves is a global treasure! Brava, to the Beautiful Women of the World.

These women are Queens.

Bravo! first time i heard this song was by the late great nina simone way back when. powerful then still powerful now

These 4 legends absolutely nailed this song!! So much passion in their vocals, and they were backed up by an equally passionate band - epic!

Lizz Wright gave me head to toe chills! My GOD what a voice!!!

They gave me chills!!!

Wow! My sisters. Power-full.

Who else is here watching this after seeing the video of Ledisi, Jill Scott, Marsha Ambrosius, and Kelly Price singing this at Black Girls Rock?

So much beauty & talent. Superb. ✌🇺🇸♥️

Absolutely beautiful. Takes your breath away. My name is peaches

Lizz Wright is everything!!😍😍

My skin is black my arms are long My hair is woolly my back is strong Strong enough to take the pain inflicted again and again What do they call me? My name is aunt Sarah My name is Aunt Sarah Aunt Sarah My skin is yellow my hair is long Between two worlds I do belong But my father was rich and white He forced my mother late one night And what do they call me? My name is Saffronia My name is Saffronia My skin is tan my hair is fine My hips invite you my mouth like wine Whose little girl am I? Anyone who has money to buy What do they call me? My name is Sweet Thing My name is Sweet Thing My skin is brown my manner is tough I'll kill the first mother I see! My life has been rough I'm awfully bitter these days because my parents were slaves What do they call me? My name is Peaches!

For black powerful Queens ❤

QUEENS🌟✨💫👑👑👑👑💪🏾🙌🏾💜💚💙💛🙏🏾

All so beautiful. Such form and flow. Healing. Liz and those hips. Simone is like the ka energy on the spine. Angelique is nurturing. Reeves is so commanding. Great mix of divine femininity.

Lizz Wright sent electricity through us!!!!

Just love this! The sophistication presented by these Black women is awesome. Sadly, look in the audience and see who appreciates this masterpiece. Each one of these ladies are masterful in their talents!!!!

This song is brilliant. It captures the complexity of African American woman of different shades. It starts with our grandmothers who were slaves (Aunt Sarah), moves to Safronia (Aunt Sarah’s daughter by a rich white slave owner), Sweet Thing (Safronia’s daughter) and finally Peaches. I’ve known several Peaches and she was usually “tough” just as this song portrays. We could use a Nina Simone right now...

Lizz is not of this world. Her voice, face, movements, entire aura is just... WOW. I am literally in a trance

Masterpiece.......!

OH LADIES YOU HAVE TORE IT UP THANK YOU 🖤🎤🎤🎤🎤♥️

So so much Queendom that is awesome and a new word that should be used often

OMG Look at all that Black Girl Magic at one time! Bravo ladies.

Brava Ladies!💐💐💐💐

This gives me chills everytime I hear. Thank you Ladies & most importantly, much appreciation & respect to the one & only Ms. Nina Simone. A timeless talent.

Sono rimasto letteralmente incantato fa queste 4 signore. Magnifiche!

Lizz’s voice really fits this song. It was a perfect blend with her voice

So powerful and so perfect for this month - Women's history month. You can see and feel the energy between the songstresses. Incredible. What a way to study diasporic African women's history by listening to this deep song. Lizz Wright! OMG what a beautiful and velvety voice. I am validated and lifted after listening. Authentic, truthful

Nina came to Jamaica and was misunderstood .Thanks to the Rastafarians who opened our eyes to our struggles as Africans at home and abroad.

This song stopped me in my tracks and shook me to my soul over 50 years ago. It was my introduction to the incomparable Nina Simone 💖

WOW! thats singing!

When the second Lady sang, I got mighty chills all over my body. My father is white He forced my mother late one night. 😭 😭

Christine auzanne Very beautiful women!But so much talented!It's a very beautiful interpretation of this marvelous song "Four Women" by Nina Simone.They are of very singers.It's 4 beautiful and sensual voices.I love this.Just Respect for this women.
