Hey mezzomanUK, thank you for this version of her performance which is much clearer AND includes Porgy. My version came from a recording from a VHS from the library. I certainly hope her daughter gets the opportunity to release some other early performances of her mother, Nina! Long live the spirit and memory of Nina Simone!
In 1979 Nina Simone, Carmen McRae, Esther Phillips, Morgana King & Maxine Weldon performed at the Hollywood Bowl to pay homage to the legendary 'Lady Day', Billie Holiday.
I've searched high and low for year and years for this full concert but to no avail. Not even a bootleg copy. One of THE great concerts! Anyone have any leads or know where I might purchase a tape of this magic showcase of these extraordinary vocalists? Thank you!
AMAZING footage!! I know she's an unforgettable live performer as well b/c I saw her in 2000 during her last year on tour in S.F. What year was this filmed? Her outfit suggests it may be the 1970's, anyone know?
Nina bows so gracefully. Bowing to the Goddess within.
This woman is not dead,she is somewhere watching us watching her watching us...Nina is a force.
Sol T Mlotshwa vdd
Yes she is a force
🌌Wow! One of the few who know
Nina got me, again, sitn up watchn her every move.... the way her music captures, go's through you and you can't, don't want to, resist ......

What is the name of the blues song Nina sang at the piano?
I Can't Face The Music
Thanks a million!
Oh he is holding the microphone.
This looks like her performance at the Hollywood Bowl although i don't know which date?
Gardenya 🌸
I would suggest Heather Headley as Nina
Which year is this from?
Does anybody know anything about this tunic? It looks like an image of a repeating horse, any ideas of designer?
No Billie Holiday tunes.
Nowhere near as good as Billie's. But then again nobody does this song as well as the great lady day.
Why that man hovering over her?
He's holding the microphone for her
Abbracciami e non stancarti mai
It's It's It's....Irritating. What the....
