Simply the most incredible voice. Such a depth of feeling. OMG She was amazing. I had the privilege of seeing her perform. She was incredible. She still is!!!!!!
I saw her perform too -at Ronnie Scott's. I don't know if you would agree but I think this night the audience were possibly treated to seeing Nina at the pinnacle of her career both vocally and the entire performance of the material. And the musical backing is sublime. I don't know to what extent Nina controlled the arrngements but even allowing for the possibility of rehearsal there is something special going down. I return to these clips from Antibes regularly, there is nothing can compare.
year 2023 and this song gets me every time. She thought well and hard about each girl, their personality loved this song Brillance!

In 1966, the singer-composer Nina Simone was so affected by the bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963, she wrote a song titled “Four Women.” It was a tribute to the four young women who were murdered in that act of terrorism. In the song, Simone created a portrait of four Black female stereotypes. There was Simone herself, Aunt Sarah, a God-fearing housecleaner, Sephronia young light-skinned activist and Sweet Thing a tough prostitute. The point of the song is that there can be no single portrait of any person
I thank you for the info❤. Masterful poetry ! I think she’s way deeper then that ..Move over Byron, Brontë ANDBukowski ) she crosses oceans and shrinks vast lanes of time into minutes.
Hi. I'm just writing to remember to rewatch this on the 20th year of her departure. I discovered Nina like 2 years ago, but her live performance persona is something out of this world.
After several years ago of only hearing the recording of the phenomenal and unique talents of: Ledisi, Kelly Price, Jill Scott, and Marsha A, I didn't know this song first by this legend and that it was tribute to her.
Who is watching in 2024?
Yes. September 24. Jay Z challenged me with story of OJ Simpson
@@piie1996Same. But I grew up with my dad playing Nina Simone's music.

Her voice is a true cry of anger and the lyrics of this song is absolutely brillant, profund and so sad !

oh,the lyrics......
After several years ago of only hearing the recording of the phenomenal and unique talents of: Ledisi, Kelly Price, Jill Scott, and Marsha A, I didn't know this song first by this legend and that it was tribute to her.
Why did the lyrics change from "My name is Egypt to Peaches " She's such a Legend of that Era. Great Performance 🫶🏾👑
She had to get up and feel her own grove, NINA!!!!!!!
Amazing.
Mesmerizing…
Transcendant.
Pure genius, Queen forever

Race is a myth. But, we knew that
United States is still a racist state, don't you see ? They use "RACE" for the identity data ! So all this country is racist.

I LOVE NINA SIMONE!!!

This is really really sad and hard to listen and watch. And that hard painful space is the truth that we all need to hear and understand 🙏🏾 😢
She was a genious ❤❤!!!
