    There is something about her!! She is so odd in a powerfully good way. I can't get enough of the way she speaks/ acts/ sings. It's entertaining beyond a way I can put into words.
    When she stands up after the performance and looks into the crowd. It's almost as if she see's every one in it. Old/ young. Good/ Evil -
    She hopes they got the message - doesn't really care if they were entertained. Because you can't care about every body with their unique lives and thoughts , trials and tribulations. You care for your own and spread a good message of strength and love - THAT is how you are going to make the world a better place - as a individual living in it.

    NINA SIMONE LYRICS
    "The Backlash Blues"
    Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
    Just who do think I am
    You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
    And send my son to Vietnam
    You give me second class houses
    And second class schools
    Do you think that alla colored folks
    Are just second class fools
    Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
    With the backlash blues
    When I try to find a job
    To earn a little cash
    All you got to offer
    Is your mean old white backlash
    But the world is big
    Big and bright and round
    And it's full of folks like me
    Who are black, yellow, beige and brown
    Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
    With the backlash blues
    Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
    Just what do you think I got to lose
    I'm gonna leave you
    With the backlash blues
    You're the one will have the blues
    Not me, just wait and see

    The word I, in my humble opinion, think most describes Nina is authentic. Which, again, in my humble opinion, is the highest compliment I can give. Nina Simone kept it real and her power lives on in her recorded works. I salute you Sista.

    • @ts5445
      @ts5445 5 років тому +4

      She was the very essence of authenticity. I said the same thing on another clip. She worked very hard at always being present and living her truth. Even when it tormented her or she was overcome by her mental illness.

    • @teamcrumb
      @teamcrumb 5 років тому +7

      I can't watch her without feeling the highest form of love and a such deep sadness. the bit when she goes from talking about stuff she was really thinking about to snapping herself back into performer mode, back into songstress and genius musician. I don't think anyone has ever been more honest in the way they carry themselves on stage and I think it was due to pain and exhaustion she felt. I wish she could have lived in a world free of racism and bullshit inequality. one of the greatest beloveds in my life to date.

      Maureen Wagg it's too damn bad nobody was ready to listen. MLK Jr., JFK, Che Guevara, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Bobby Kennedy, Billie Holiday, people were speaking truth for decades, centuries actually, but after a few were murdered or imprisoned, the movement was always slowed way down. "They" could never stop it completely though and it seems more folks are ready to listen again. Let's hope Maureen, take care!
