One thing that can never be said about her is that she was a “…..” singer, because she crosseed over into different genres, even before it was culturally “cool” to do so. One of the 3 biggest regrets that I have in my life is that I never got a chance to see her perform live. I am happy that you posted her as the Afrobella of the week!!!!

Nina Simone… she really had and shared a little something extra. Maybe thats because her feet never left the ground.
Afrobella is amazing. I will tell everyone about it.
#Go T&T..

She was a woman who was light years ahead of her time. Her music and her voice was real and raw.

Nina Simone was one of the greatest, if not the Greatest Female Songstresses of all time. Her music had passion and substance and I am so glad you featured her here today so that other people who have never heard of her can be introduced to the Magnificent World of Nina!

I have been into her for years & it started when I saw the movie Point of No Return. I remember Bridget Fonda’s character demanding her Nina Simone Albums.

I was fortunate enough to see Nina in her last US concert the year before she departed in Detroit & I was in the 3rd. There were some points were I cried because I could not believe that I was that close to her.

My favorite songs are “Ne me quitte pas”, “The other Woman”, “Sinnerman”, “Four Women”, Black is the color”, “Funkier than a mosquito’s tweeter” Mississippi Goddam:and of course You Gifted and black”

Great post & thanks for the videos!!!!

I just e-mailed them the YouTube page listing all those old clips. Thanks so much for this. I never really understand my parents’ love for her when I was a child but now, as an adult living in this blinged-out age, I really do.
