Eunice Kathleen Waymon, better known as Nina Simone (February 21, 1933 – April 21, 2003), was an Americansinger, songwriter, pianist and civil rightsactivist. She generally is classified as a jazzmusician, although she disliked being categorized. Her work covers an ecclectic variety of musical styles, such as jazz, soul, folk, r&b, gospel and even pop music. Her vocal style is characterized by passion, breathiness, and tremolo. Simone recorded over 40 live and studio albums, the biggest body of her work being released between 1958 (when she made her debut with Little Girl Blue) and 1974.

Incredible woman. Incredible voice.
I love Nina
That uncontollable vibrato.
That deep, warm alto.
It's difficult to choose a favourite song, but if I had to it would be "Wild is the Wind." Makes me cry and smile at the same time. Talk about schizophrenic!
"My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places"
