2. The woman who offered to pay for Nina's lesson was her mom's boss her name was Mrs. Miller.
3. Nina was often investigated by the CIA and FBI
4. Nina's first concert was at The County Library.
5. The woman who said that " a lot of people are here to see you" wasn't Mrs. Mazzy.
Thank you for this extra info Travis💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I am so like Nina. I gave up everything for what I thought was right. I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and there was no one there but Jesus. My parents had died, my husband died and my children had there own lives. I ended up broke eating at the food pantry. All thoes people I'd helped over the years. I was beyond hurt. Her people came to help her because they knew she could make money again. Everyone thought I was going to die. Well chile (as Ashley would say) Cancer in remission and I started a business. Won't He do it. Yes He will. Thank you Ashley for your wonderful stories.
The daughter said in public she was very nice to her, but behind close doors nina was abusive.
Oh sis Praise God you made it through! What a testimony!!!
Bless God for your amazing testimony. I’m so happy for the blessings that are coming your way!
🙏🙌
Oh this story just warned my heart ❤ you are a great person and things will always work out in the end😊😊
Ashley should have her own show with her in all the commercials too. She’s a rare talent.
The first few months of the pandemic in 2020 I must’ve listened to everything she did I really appreciate it and I still do
I came across her channel and she was telling the story about a celebrity can’t remember whom. But ever since I watch them all. Had to catch up so I watched all of her videos from back then. All good!! 🙏🏽
Yes ❣
@@s_h_a_w_n_d_a She is Very Good at this & She doesn't drag out a Story like Most & I love that about her , She a Very good Story teller & Entertainer❣💐👸🏿
Miss Ashley should be selling hair products. Her hair is so pretty!
Lauryn Hill would've been (and still would be) great to play a biopic of Nina Simone.
Yes indeed Aman Alleluia
Yes, or India Arie may have even been a better choice due to singing and artistic style similarities.
@@missmisher I agree.
Yessssss
Yes & Macy Gray
It still baffles me that they would actually have Zoe Saldana portraying the magnificent Hershey-kissed Nina Simone!
Brenda Thompson, I’m still pissed that they picked Zoe Saldana in blackface when they could’ve had India. Arie, Lauryn Hill or even Viola Davis to portray the great Nina Simone.
@@dariellesipple2759 IKR
No one picked Zoe. Zoe picked herself. Zoe bought the rights to Nina's story. That's how it works. So, whoever buys the rights to that person's story can basically do what they want with it. Zoe bought the rights so she could control the film and play Nina herself.
She later admitted she messed up by playing Nina herself. She said she loved Nina Simone so much and wanted to get her story out there. She said in the United States, Nina was not as well-known because of her politics and involvement in the civil rights movement. Nina was blackballed in the US which is why she moved to Europe in the first place.
They loved her in Europe. They kind of hated her in the US. So, Zoe wanted Nina's name out there to educate people in the US. It was admirable...but she still shouldn't have taken on the lead role.
By the way, it's true. Zoe is right that in the US Nina was mostly hated. That's a fact. There were black people who liked her, but the white people hated her. She couldn't make a proper living here because of the way things were during the Civil Rights Movement. Nina was too outspoken. That's why she left the US. By the time Nina left the US for Europe, several black entertainers had started to leave because they were tired of the mistreatment. Honestly, black entertainers had been leaving the US for Europe since the 1920s (remember Josephine Baker...same story).
It was awful to me. I was distracted the entire movie.
@@lisacox3750 You are absolutely correct! While doing research, I found out that Ms. Saldana said she should have placed more emphasis on the details to have someone who closer resembled Ms Simone's physical characteristics playing her. Thank you for your input.
Nina's issues probably come from all of the brain injuries sustained by the beatings given by her husband. Year after year beatings to her head can explain all of her conditions. It's so sad, that her abuse was then transferred and taken out on her daughter.
@r.g.murray3945 Racism had a lot to do with her mental illness. Not being accepted but yet loved for her Talent by White audience made her sick.
And nobody fought for her? Where were you? 😂😂😂
I got to see Nina Simone a few years before she died. During that time, she only left her home in France for a performance if they paid her enough. She needed help walking to the piano, and wasn’t very fiery in her performance, but it was an honor to be in her presence.
I guess you think you Needed to Say all that 😏🚮🤡
I’m sure she wasn’t. Who is fiery in older age???
@@tx_teasippa6433 me, lol, 😁😁😁
I am a child of the sixties, and what happened to Martin Luther King, it knocked the wind out of everyone, it seem to be dark and hopeless.

Ashley keep up the good work, I see a great future ahead for you.

Yes!💐❤️
Ashley u are GREAT!! I just love you😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and I listen to Nina Simone to this very day
Ikr 👏🏾 I NEVER 🙅🏾♀️ skip her sponsor commercials cum on thru 🥳
"What Happened, Nina Simone" was an enlightening documentary on Netflix/Hulu. Her Bi-Polar really effected her. I hope she's found Peace on the other side.
I love that documentary. Ive watched it at least 5 times!
It wasn't just her bipolar illness that affected her it was also the racism of what she saw and had experienced do to Racism
@@marlenemartin6302 Did Racism, make her beat and leave her daughter?
Did she know JESUS?
@@borngreat-4-life930 Do You? That's all you need to be concerned with!
Ms. Simone suffered from BPD - Borderline Personality Disorder. Behavior signs are: anti-social, compulsiveness, hostility, impulsiveness, risk taking, self destruction, social isolation and lack of restraint. Her husband once said he would wake up mornings and Nina would be sitting over him starring and mad as hell.
We all must be BPD than it's called trying to cope with people bullshit when you get fed up then boom BPD🤓🤷🏾
She probably was starring mad thinking what will happen if I kill his ass! He was beating that lady up!
she was diagnosed with this?
I mean the fact that he literally raped her should have been the end of the relationship. To me, I think that’s being overlooked how traumatic it was that she was raped by her husband. This incident was no doubt to me was the peak, the straw that broke the camel’s back where she really unleashed her anger.
That’s what I was thinking that she showed signs of BPD. This comes from years of severe abuse. Which in the case of her husband abusing her, she probably felt trapped and kept holding it in until she snapped. This comes after years of narcissistic abuse. I had to realize I was suffering with it and now trying to heal myself from it. The mind is tormented, that’s why she had a psychotic break.
I'm a Gemini and I'm the same way. I am introverted. When I don't get my alone time I get moody and easily irritated. I believe in exchanging energies. When I'm in a dark mood I can tell. I let people know ahead of time.. It's so hard to explain to extroverts. My boyfriend is extroverted and sometimes we clash because he take it as I'm up to something or being sneaky. I'm too honest for that crap. I just want to be left alone when I ask. Everything's all good when you're doing what they want UNTIL you say NO or I need a break.
Maybe you're also either a Pisces moon or a Pisces rising, check your natal chart.☺
Same here!
She must have overdid it. Now she is labeled bipolar. People are evil.
As a May Gemini I'm the same way!! I was always called "sneaky" when I become reserved.
I'm also introverted! I absolutely need my "alone time", in order 2 re-energize! If i don't get it, a monster emerges!
This is probably selfish on my part, but I am very grateful that Nina Simone did not become just a 'pop' singer. We have plenty enough of those. Do we really need another finger-popping, generic love song? What she did was extraordinarily unique, and those songs of defiance and power were and are a gift to the world. I'm sorry that she suffered so badly. But I am thankful that she left a catalog that is unlike any other, and is still empowering and uplifting the people to this day.
I love your comment.
🎯
Exactly and you know one of her songs is played in a commercial for One A Day vitamins? I instantly recognized her voice.
Is it normal to leap for joy when one sees a new video from Ashley? This made my lunch and my day!
Very normal. I get so happy when a new one pops up. Then i binge watch the old ones 🙂 love it!!
🎶 Shh..keep it on the down low, nobody has to know.. they don't have to know🎶No Queen ur definitely NOT ALONE!!🤫😂🤣🤭😆😅🤭
Oh yeah, it's normal
She's hands down the BEST UA-cam channel I have ever come across in all my years of using this platform. Well done Ashley!
Yes, it’s normal.
The lovely, mega-talented Ms. Nina Simone was a gift to us from Heaven. Ms. Simone showed her blessed mentality when she refused to play until they returned her parents to their front row seats. RIH beautiful Ms. Simone.We love you❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Young Gifted and Black. And that’s a fact!
Oh noooo I didn’t know anything about the abuse. That’s why the anger built up in her spirit - domestic violence can destroy a woman from inside out… The beatings probably injured her brain.
She stayed in it? What a waste of life.
Nina Simone, “A Brilliant,Unique,Powerful, Phenomenal Woman.” Her Legacy Lives On!!!
My mom, now passed, was a creative Pisces too. And that is SPOT ON her moods. She wrote poetry and she would have to take a break.
Hey Ashley, so glad you didn’t let what happened to you keep you down. It’s good to see you up and back at it!! Keep it coming, we need your since and style of reporting, nothin but love and respect for you.
Absolutely we love you Ashley
She has a beautiful soul💜💜👍
I really don't know what happened 😕 But I pray that God keeps his hands on her 🙇🏾♀️ and that she prospers in every way in her life🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽
Y'all cut the check for her to keep the channel popping. Come on y'all.
You are the only youtuber who plugs their sponsors in a good way!
I agree with you! She does it in such a way that it makes you want to hurry and support these promotions! She did one promoting a wine company that was cool.
#Facts
Thank you so much🥰
History class of dysfunctional celebrities. 😂😂
In Europe Nina Simone is legendary as a jazz singer. From Germany to France much in the same way as Miles Davis. In her autobiography she told her story and it is a good read. I had the privilege of seeing Ms. Simone in 2001 at The Chicago Theatre, a magical night. Although she had to be helped to the piano, magic started once her fingers hit those keys and her voice touched that mic. When the concert ended, we waited on the side of the building for a glimpse of her. When she came out flanked on each side we started shouting Nina Nina and she stopped turned and waved to us! Tears here. It was so beautiful. The Chicago Tribune Tribune wrote of her concert that it was "proud defiant angry and unapologetically political" "Fiery Nina Simone's Sermon Brims With Feeling and Ferociousness". A wonderful memory. Oh and personally I believe she was coerced into selling the rights to I Loves You Porgy" definitely! (Emphasis added). Periodt.
I'm here for NINA!!!!!! CAUSE IM FEEELING GOOOOOOOOOD!!!
I broke a nail clicking my phone so fast LOL
An hour? Lemme go get lunch and do this proper🥰Thanks Ashley!!!!! 🌹
Right 😂
Lawd LOL 😆
Hope you okay? How's the nail?
😂😊
She was brought up spoiled, but abused her own daughter? Horrible. Lost any sympathy I'd have for her.
I once met Lisa- Nina's daughter in a Chicago car dealership. We talked, she was gentle and nice and she told me her mother was mean. I could see the pain in her eyes, I gave her encouraging words in respect tonher mom.
Friendly reminder: Ashley when it comes to astrology your moon sign determines someone's personality and emotions (depending on the planets, placement and aspects in someone's natal chart). Nina was a capricorn moon sometimes these people have to grow up early, work hard these people can suffer from depression as well.
I'm a Capricorn and you are right..💖
Im june 5th can u tell me mine
Mine 8/28 can you tell me mine?
IN THIS WORLD 🌍 BLACK CHILDREN HAS ALWAYS HAD TO GROW UP EARLIER THAN ANYOTHER NATIONALITY OF CHILDREN 📢 TIL THIS DAY 2021 📢 I COULD GO DEEPER 📢BUT THIS IS ABOUT THE CELEBRATING OF OUR LEGEND THE INCOMPARABLE REAL CRAFT REAL MUSICIAN MS. NINA SIMONE⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎁⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pisces also can become reclusive, aloof and tired. She was bound to be depressed
Never let your husband be your manager
Growing up I didn't know that Nina Simone started out as an artist. I'd always known her as a civil rights activist. I'm really enjoying your content❤✊🏾
Porgy charted at #14 on the hot 100 and #2 on the r&b charts. The album charted at #7 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on the R&B album charts
There is a reason why Nina Simone did not leave her Estate to her daughter, Miriam Makeba should have honored her wishes
Her husbands didn't like her truthfully. Sad she stayed so long in the 2nd relationship.
Not the bad boys theme song Ashhhh!? 😭😭😭😭 I hollered. Ever since I clicked on the Frankie Lymon video who I feel so strangely connected to; I’ve been binge watching you ever since. Love your energy. You done crawled ya way into my overweight but overjoyed heart. Love ya videos, love ya attitude, sense of humor and personality, love ya work and I’m finna go on ‘head and love ya book soon too. Keep on, keeping on baby girl cuz you’ve already made it.🥰💙💡🤞🏾✨
Yeah that Frankie Lymon was the truth
😂😂😂🤣
😂😂😂thank you Shequora❤❤❤
The crazy thing was...for someone who battled colorism as much as she battled racism, it is rumored that Nina was colorist herself. She was allegedly critical of her daughter Simone's skin tone. It probably explained why she treated her so terribly. Then again, maybe not. You will find alot of the older generations act out the self hate that had been inflicted upon them by their elders.
Damn. Some people just don't make good parents. Mrs. Simone was bipolar. My grandma was too and treated her own kids horribly but was the best grandma ever. No rhyme or reason to it sometimes.
Very true my grandmother and older uncles VERY COLORIST and they have said weird things 😕
That would explain why she got with a white man, then a very light skinned black men afterwards. Sad.
That is true
Still goes on today.
Nina’s song, “feeling good,” is one of my top 10 songs of all time! Heavy rotation on my playlist! Thanks again Ashley!! ❤️🩹
You did a FANTASTIC job telling Miss Simone’s story!!!
And everyone else's Story ❣💐💐💐
Thank you, Ashley! Excellent job! It's ironic that Nina was standing up for justice for her race, but didn't realize that she was being just as brutal and abusive to her child, as the people she took aught with, were to her people.
"I Loves You Porgy" is from the George and Ira Gershwin opera "Porgy And Bess." It was the first opera with a cast of all black opera singers.
Thank you Ashley. There is still the documentary on Netflix about Nina called “ What Happened, Miss Simone?”. You added so many missing pieces to the documentary that I thought was missing. Thank you so so much 🥰.
Watch the end of the documentary where Nina’s amazing piano skills are shown.
I'm ashamed to say I knew nothing at all about Nina Simone. Her story is riveting. I'm gonna go and listen to all her songs. You did a great job with this as usual ❤️
That was unfortunately intentional (if you are from the US). I'm from the US and didn't grow up knowing about her either. I later found out why. Nina was blackballed back in the day because of her being so outspoken and an advocate for civil rights. She was treated badly here so she left for Europe. If you to Europe...the loved her. They still play her music. They all knew who she was. Here in the US...she was pretty much hated (by white people). So they turned on her. So that's why later generations didn't get to know who she was. She was kind of a nobody here in the US (if you were born after the 1960s).
You won't regret it Tee Key She takes you there.
You won't be disappointed

A hour long ??? ☺️☺️Thank you Ashley ! 🙏🏾♥️
Y'all need to cut the check for her. She is too good for Hollywood. I love her. 😂😂😂
The estate mess! Nina apparently knew EXCACTLY what she was doing in leaving her estate in the hands of friend Miriam Makeba instead of her daughter. She wanted promises fulfilled in Africa and not squandered, which she felt her daughter would likely do. She was right all along! Makeba wanting to "do the right thing" ( bad optics not living the daughter something) it seems failed Nina's wishes by overriding her friend's intent.
What a sad ending for such an incredibly talented woman. Thanks for sharing her story. Ashley, another winner A+
Ashley you're scandalous gossip content helps me get through my stressful busy workdays at the coffee shop. 👩🏻🍳☕🙏🏻
Hey, Ashley! I'm sitting at the pharmacy waiting for my Rxs, and I'm watching this on very low volume. I've got the people on both side of my listening and trying to see my screen. I have a privacy screen so they mad!!!🤣🤣🤣
😂
nothing in this world is more priceless to me is when yo child fulfilled their childhood dreams, i can imagine the mother n child overjoy, "YES WE MADE IT! "
I didn't know she lived up to 2003 and died from breast cancer. I learned a ton from this. I hate to see what happened to her estate. Also, i'm unclear what happened between her and her first husband and why you don't see any collaborations with her and other artists that she considered to be her peers.
Excellent timing! I'm making baked mac & cheese while listening to this tea. 😋 Nina went THROUGH it. It's sad the abused became the abuser in the end. Her legacy is everlasting and will not soon be forgotten. Another great video Ashley!
So funny that when Ms. Ashley was going on about how hard she was working and needed a break I yelled "But she's a pisces!" At the same time she said it. 🤣🤣 We value solitude and just gotta cocoon ourselves to recalibrate. 🧘🏾♀️♓💜
Well alright & AMEN!!! Ashley got sponsors y'all!!! Good job SPONSORS on choosing our girl AshleySaysSo to rep y'alls products
It seems as though Nina Simone had a Mental Breakdown .She needed help and didn't get the help she needed. She abused her daughter as she was abused by her husband .
I wish she had got helped
so basically Andrew was Ike turner and Nina was the female donny Hathaway.
Pretty much. Sad situation.
No she was more like Tina Turner, Trapped in an abusive marriage. Tina survived it, married again, and retired to the French Riviera. Nina wasn’t as lucky.
Excellent! Sounds like she had bipolar disorder, One of the symptoms is a very increased sex drive, but if it was in the 60s there was medication for it. So they had an open marriage, big deal. It was a business relationship, love doesn’t last forever. Hate to say this but he was pretty much a slave driver. So sad, she should’ve been able to enjoy herself performing.
Right on time! I am out here delivering packages trying my best to stay focused and I need this to keep me entertained!
Lllllllolollloll
You are right on time I was about to take my meds I looked at my phone I said oh Ashley is on w/ a new scandal. Happy Holidays. 👀❤️👍🏾💯
I'm a pisces too! And it's true. Everything that I've ever been passionate about but could not take a break from when the need presented itself, I've reacted the very same way. The core of me still loves it but when told or asked for a break and not receiving it, the shutdown came indefinitely.
"Nina Simone" is from a community of women that influence our Black community. Such as "Sonya Sanchez", "Maya Angelou", "Lauryn Hill", "Etta James", "Dionne Warwick", "Anita Baker" & "Celia Cruz". Jazz, Classical, Rap / R&B, & even Latin" is what made these ladies not just legends but "Black & Brown Greatness". Thank you ladies for your social consciousness, funky rhythms, your beauty, your generational influences & demonstrating to us men you can go toe to toe with us anyday....💯👍👍👍👍💯👍👍👍💯
I just love your story telling, my grandmother and I watch it together or if we can't watch it together we "spread the tea" on the phone after our busy day.
That's dope I think my grandma would've loved Ashley too 😅 I'm glad u guys found something u 2 can enjoy together
🙌🏽🙌🏽
EXCELLENT!!! NINA WAS A FAVORITE . She sang a song a Broadway song called "The last Rose of Summer " one of my many favorites by her. Nina was a national treasure. Luv ya Ashley....keepum commin. When you need a break take it I'll surely be waiting.
I really enjoyed this tea😊. She was a February Pisces like Rihanna n Erykah, 2 great artists too. I wish she would’ve received some help before passing away. She was great in many areas n unbalanced in others. Many great people have the same amount of unbalance somewhere in their life, as the greatness they have.
Plus whew chile when she covered Billie Holiday’s strange fruit. Baby my heart smiled for her and Mrs. Holiday. Her words were kept “ That cop grandchildren would be sing that song.”
🤣🤣😁 "no Nina! Nina: "Yah!" That cracked me up Ashley
I loved her song Mississippi Got Damn! I was born in Chicago in 1942, and I loved Nina!
"Booty just loose, baby!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣Ashley...Sis...you are one of a KIND! Great video, as always! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I was like😳🤔😹😹😹🍿☕
#SaySoSquad! I tuned in with some homemade vegetable soup for this video on Ms. Nina Simone. I was shocked to know that she was North Carolina. Tryon is about 3 hours away from my hometown. I remember that fiasco when her granddaughter wrote on Twitter about her estate. It wasn't until someone on Twitter actually found the case records and revealed that Lisa didn't tell her daughter the truth. Nina left Lisa her condominium in Los Angeles, one of Nina's brothers got her house in France. The money that Nina left was not for Lisa to spend. Kamala Harris did Lisa a favor because she could have went to prison. Lisa agreed to resigned as the administrator of her mother's estate to avoid going to prison and that's what she didn't tell her daughter. Maybe Lisa took the money because she felt entitled to it from having to deal with her mother's abuse and mental illness.
You so right as a fellow Pisces. My sister is a Pisces and she can attest this as well since she’s an excellent poet.
It's the..."why is your face like this?" "Ba-tu-Ha"🤪 " you did this to me"LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ashley you did a fantastic job on covering the legendary Nina Simone,alot to cover,depth and so many layers, respect
I believe the worst decision anyone can make is to give their life over to anyone totally, because then there is no more you, it's about pleasing someone else and that will never work. Hello sister girl great commentary as always smooches take care oh, and don't forget we adore you.
“It’s good to have Loyal followers for entertainers…. and content creators”😁
Funny 😆
Nice narrative Ashley! Keep up the good storytelling😌
As a Pisces, that creative talent breakdown is SPOT ON! Great vid per usual Ashley 💙
To many suffer from being work horses in the entertainment Industry 👹🤛🏿
I get sooooo excited when you drop a video I can’t wait for the tea
Me too I love how she tell the stories, I would to hear new ones every week. 😃Frfr
YEEEEEEAH MISS ASHLEY CAME ON THROUGH!!!!! AND SHE GETTING SPONSORS! GETTING THAT COIN! GO 'HEAD MISS ASHLEY!!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Nina Simone is a prime example of picking your battles IF you want to succeed in certain industries and personally as well....and not just live a life of SELF oppression & affliction !
Why do women allow men to continue after the first instance of abuse?
It seemed that it was allowed back in the day.
Cause they’re in love …smh
Poor self worth
She was insecure
Not gonna lie , I love the fire this woman Nina possessed 💚
Amen!
She was possessed. That’s not anything light. She was tormented but what would the average world understand about that.
Thanks Ashley. Christmas came early for the Said So Squad. Keep doing your thang
Facts
Great story! I never knew much about Nina Simone, except I know she's very talented, and has a huge fan base. I really wish that they would have picked India Ari to play her in the biopic, because India Arie is actually inspired by Nina Simone (a lot of people don't even know that) but just like Hollywood; they would rather cast Zoe Saldana, who has nothing in common with Nina Simone, not to mention she considers herself "Latina" which is totally fine, but I don't understand why they continue to give her roles, that they should give to a BW (who can identify with the character in the role). More power to these, dark skinned women, who consider themselves "Latina" my point is if they don't identify with being a sista, let them play the roles in which they can identify with, but they can't, because those roles go to JLo, Gina Rodriguez, Eva Mendes, Salma Hayek...lighter skin/straight hair "Latinas"
🤷🏽♂️ This! I don’t get why black ppl worldwide don’t wake up to the fact that it is not even a good idea to attach the colonial labeling to themselves. At the end of the day you are “black “ . Nina was a fighter. It was a disgrace for that shapeshifter to play Nina. “Latinas” aren’t even considered “real white” because that’s the term the European counterparts coined for basically ALL the half white bastard children the conquistadors populated South American Countries with ! Hence the whole ignoring their status as “real whites” . They feel so glad when they are finally acknowledged by their masters.
"Latina" is an ethnicity, like Irish or Indian...it's not a race! One can be Black & Latina at the same time...
@@sugalovely1238No it is not like that, darling
It is also a race or genetic because Latinos are mix race people with natives Amerindian’s and Iberian Europeans e even the blacs are mix, it is very different than being only blac, you can see they don’t look Afrcans or even blac mericans even though the blacs Americans is also different from the Afrcans. We Latinos/ Iberians Amercans are connect by ra-ce/ genetics, lineage, culture and civilization
The term ethnicity refers to a people or nation and has its origin in the Greek ethnikos, an adjective of ethos. More specifically, the concept of ethnicity concerns a group of people with common origins, interests, history and experiences and among which there are levels of solidarity and identification. Often these groups share the same language and the same culture, which distinguishes them from other ethnic groups with which they live, but other times the difference is not in the language, which is the same and are also connected by the genetics and lineage.
As exemplo Zoe is brown skin more light but she clearly is mix race and very mix, she does not look like Nina and belong to another ethnicity and should rot play Nina role
😊
I had to pause the video to just 2nd that word about Creative Pisces being so emotionally and fully involved in their work. I identify with this whole heartedly as one of these people. When I don't take a break, it can lead to despair to the point of destruction. Enjoy your art, don't let the passion be your destruction, take the break!
Back to the video...
Her life was a whirldwind, she was a phenomenal talent smh
Wow!! I Know you talking about Nina Simone, but what you said about Pisces, hit me hard. Couldn't figure out, why my body felt the way it did. I got to take more breaks and think about my health.
The whole Pisces part I go through. Currently experiencing. My birthday is March 9th I really struggle with this thank you for speaking on it because I thought that was a me thing. Thank you so much sister 😭❤️❤️
Same, February 28th. We’re often misunderstood
@@KpTheG my granny birthday is Feb 27th and her mother is Feb 28th your spirit is very loving 🥰
@@KpTheG yes all of this is correct my birthday is February 29th.
When you said you said that she a light, I said to myself "I wonder was she bipolar." But you answered my question and so many people in our community go undiagnosed.
Oh my effin effin freaking freak🙊🙊🙊🙉🙉🙉 have never been so happy🙊
Ashley mentions in her post video 1:00:11 "that every time she saw Aretha Franklin...on television that she (Nina) would get so angry...I should have just been like them, they didn't fight, they didn't do anything."
(1) Well to add insult to injury "To Be Young, Gifted, And Black" was written by Nina. Nina was nominated for a Grammy but didn't win it for the song. A couple of years later Aretha does a cover, and guess what? Nina probably watches on TV as Aretha gracefully goes on stage with a big grin to get her Grammy for... yep, "To Be Young, Gifted, And Black." Ouch! Ouch! Based on what Ashley said above you think maybe Nina went berserk that night? Ha, ha! :>)
(2) For old school folks here, Eric Burdon & the Animals high charted in North America and Great Britain with the song "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." It came right after their "House of the Rising Sun." Many think the Animals' version of PDLMBM is the original, it is not. Theirs is the cover, Nina's version (though she didn't write it) is THE ORIGINAL. Lee Rawls did a fine cover version also.
Yeah I know that must have to kill Nina to see Aretha winning a Grammy for that!
Central Park Blues came out in January 1958 when I was 2 years and 9 months old. My father played the album all day all the time and I knew the songs. As I got older, I felt bad for her because all she wanted to do was be a classical concert pianist.
When you repeated what she said, “I never wanted any of this!” I got so sad. Almost cried.
Heartbreaking🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I love the way Ashley tells the story🤣🤣. Great story.
I 1st. Heard, "Mississippi Gottdamned, " around,,,,(2015,,,,????) And, it BLEW ME AWAY THEN, I can't even imange how audience's in the early 1960's responded 2 it.
One of the first examples of 'go woke, go broke.' smdh
Child !! I am late. Ashley you are right about how the school of Curtis institute did not accept Nina Simone cause she was black.
One of the students that beat Nina Simone was black. Her name was Blanche Burton Lyles.
Blanche Burton Lyles became one of the WORLD classic concert pianists.
Nina Simone still came on top. Her name is bigger and well known than the school of Curtis institute. Nina Simone music is a legend. Her family should be very proud of her.
The devil song had me in tears🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same😆😀🤣
thanks for sharing. I love history and scandal mixed together.
Me too! That's why Ashley does it best
👏👏!! Wow wish Miss Simone would have received the love and care she really needed. Such stressful times for her. Probably made her mental state worse.
Andrew: No! No, Nina!
Nina: YAAAH!
😂😂😂😂
This was REALLY good!!
I would LOVE to see an episode on Johnny Mathis!
Oh yes! I’d like to see that one too!
Yes….please…do one on Johnny Mathis. Would love to see it😊
Nina is one of my favorites. In fact she did the song Don't Explain that Billie Holiday wrote and sang. Anyways it's so hauntingly beautiful ❤
You knocked it out of the ball park again. I loved, Nina. (Young, gifted, and Black.)
That’s why I mess with you sis…I’m a Pisces ♓️ too! Respect ✊🏾
