We inherit a set of 23 chromosomes from our mothers and another set of 23 from our fathers. The mother gives an X chromosome to the child. The father may contribute an X or a Y.
Genetically, a person actually carries more of his/her mother's genes than his/her father's. The reason is little organelles that live within cells, the?mitochondria, which are only received from a mother. Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and is inherited from the mother. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). 4:06 [Indus Health Plus; NHGRI]
How embarrassing... Is this her own concert that they've come to watch? The fact that they didn't know this song or at least her association with it, is sad...

“Everything that happened to me as a child involved music. It was part of everyday life, as automatic as breathing.” “I demand perfection in what I do, and I practice very hard before I give a concert-sometimes three to six hours a day.” Nina Simone 1:01
While this performer gas a powerful voice... her rendition of the song left me distant from the depth in which the song was written. There was no connection of the heart.
