Nina Simone is definitely one the greatest female vocalist and composers. Recordings of her live performances are always captivating. One of my favorites is her live performance of “Ain’t got No”.

So funny that you posted this on February 9, I saw this on February 12. Nelson Mandela celebrates his release date from prison on Feb.11….it has been 20 years since his release..
I read in a book Miss Nina Simone said “I was supposed to be Married last year and I bought a gown, When I meet Nelson Mandela I shall put on this gown move it aside and kiss the ground he walks on and then kiss his feet”…I think that is how she put it…….
I love her. …..
