after years of hearing her music but never truly investigating WHO it was, i finally did! how could have missed, NINA SIMONE? she is so raw, multi-dimensional, heartfelt, passionate, etc. as the great comic richard pryor once said, "white people had judy garland - we had nina." i love that she, like judy, just oozed emotions of pain, suffering, love and lust all in a few notes! i am certainly a novice when it comes to her music, but i am up for the challenge of discovering more!
i love this photo i found on the net of the high priestess of soul....she looks so confident and sexy!
