    Quelle merveilleuse artiste que c'était !! Irremplaçable Nina !! A dire qu'elle vivait qu'à 10km de chez moi !! J'aurais vraiment aimé la rencontrer et écouter sa fabuleuse vie !! Dommage qu'elle ne soit plus de ce monde ! En admiration totale devant autant de talent, aussi bien le chant que le piano, bravo pour ton courage, ta force de vie et tes talents chère Nina 💝💯💫🙏🙏👏👏🙌🙌

    Im just sitting here, shaking my head...everything about her is amazing. Ive never acknowledged that about someone (well, maybe my ex-BF)...but I digress. I just love how transparent she is. She just....IS. She's not trying to hide behind anything...she presents who she is, without gimmicks or a lighter makeup foundation...she didnt go somewhere to get a surgeon to make her nose smaller...she's not rockin' the wig down her back (hi, Aretha!)...and around this time, in the footage, her health was failing her...she was fragile.
    She could've stayed home in the South of France, but she brought all of her flaws and physical ailments on the road, yet again. Because she loved us that much. I saw her live in Wash, DC, two years before she died...at Constitution Hall. I will NEVER forget it, and as Ive said before, I thought I was in the presence of royalty.

    Had breakfast with a buddy yesterday. I’m white. He is black. British.
    Both lives , diff cultures and we discussed music and who is the greatest of all time in regard to female singers. Immediately I said Nina and to be honest there’s nothing or nobody who will ever tell me different. My only regret is not seeing her or meeting her. I’m 39 and I just have deep love for this woman.
    Thank you Nina for everything xxx

    Es increíble lo adorable que resulta escuchar a la gran NINA SIMONE, para mi ella es la Reina del piano y el jazz, de verdad que cada ves que veo sus vídeos, y escucho y disfruto de su interpretación, quedo con la piel erizada, y ningún artista nunca había provocado eso en mi hasta que la conocí. Espero que siempre siga viva su música por todos los tiempos, y muchas personas mas puedan disfrutar de una de las mujeres mas importantes en la lucha de los derechos humanos, la igualdad de las razas y por supuesto la música clásica, en la historia del arte.

    Brave, Bold, Beautiful Black Queen! I just love her. So much gifted talent not always the best voice, but it was what she sang about. She lived a hard, stress filled life, but she stood for equality and left a beautiful legacy, a beautiful soul was she. First time I heard the Other woman, a song so true, always the side piece, even when she manages to steal him away, he’ll never be hers alone.

    • @MatthewLevine79
      @MatthewLevine79 3 роки тому +1

      "not always the best voice"?! How dare you! Nina is the queen and goddess of all time! But really, this is her last performance, she's in her 60's or so, and I heard her voice crack maybe 5 times in this whole show. Yes, age takes a toll - maybe that's why it was the last performance - but here she is every bit the virtuoso that she always was. It's kind of amazing to watch this right after one of her first performances from the early 60's. And of course music was only a part of what she did. Just truly one of the great geniuses in history.
