Nina Simone! She was a great pianist, had a classical education but began to play music like jazz, blues in bars to pay her piano teatcher. She loved to play Bach...If you want to know more about her, I've just red her autobiography "I put a spell on you, memories", very good book BTW! Greets from Belgium!
One of the best blues voices, EVER!!! One of the best soul voices, EVER!!! One of the best jazz voices, EVER!!! One of the best PIANO players, EVERE!!! One of the best romantic singer, EVER!!! 'bout to be the best revolutionary fighter ever. Nina, you saved my life. Your music saved my life--Thank you! RIP
The truly amazing thing about Nina SImone is that all of her performances were unique. She never ever did the same thing twice. It was always new, and when she covered somebody else’s music, it was totally different and fresh in her own way. She was pure, absolute genius. Anyone with two ears (or even just one) in their head can hear it.
Do you know what your saying when you say fallen angels or do I gotta remind you who is Satan Lucifer Jezebel spirit is? Your saying she's that bad like wtf. Nah man she's good at what she used to sing and create.but I don't think she's a fallen angel .
1972 University of Wisconsin performance was not appreciated. Now a big grown BLACK WOMAN I hear her loud and clear. Sorry Ms. Simone for my ignorance, and you GENIUS, did not coincide But I hear now my SISTER. love you. I'm a big girl now. You guided me to where I am. Not a bad place to be!!!
It may be debatable whether Nina was a great pianist or a great singer (probably not among the greats of either category), but she had a rare and great musical sensibility that makes artists great whether or not they are technically great. And this is why she is so universally admired by her peers.
exactly. There is a video on youtube - its from an old german tv show - there she is accompanied by a piano player, but then she takes over :) Nina style Love this spirited woman.
Yes, I heard another track and it was all piano and it was superb, but no Nina singing, then I thought to myself, is that Nina on Piano???..this is the second track, thanks....Amy Winehouse is today but Nina is GodessnessMe.....I just love how she makes the song come alive and stays in shadows....WOW!!!!
I`m not what most would call a pothead but I occasionally smoke a joint. I however am not a liberal and am completely against unions. I also enjoy this amazing music, whether sober or not! Cheers to you sir!
