This song changed me in 1970 immediately after the Nigerian civil war. It created an awareness of who I was and exploded my potentials as an African black. All my achievements in life were made possible by this powerful encouraging lyrics. To this day as an old man I still preach it to younger ones.... to be young, gifted and black. The sky is the limit. Nina Simone still lives in all young, gifted and black. She's unequaled in black awareness. 🌟♥️👏💪☺️
Nina Simone is remembered for the lyrics she sang and the emotions she evoked, not enough credit is given to her as an interpreter of song. Nina had an incredible talent at finding the true message of a song and exposing it to her audience.❤ Love & Respect to Ms. Simone forevermore🕊🌼🙏🏽
