She was an interesting person.. very bitter and twisted around the edges (She never got a penny for 'My Baby Just Cares for me') allegedly... but an enigmatic talent.
I started finding out about Nina simone songs and am quite enjoying it!! 'Missisppii Goddam' for example, but listen ;'Don't let me be misunderstood' or 'I put a spell on you', 'Love me or leave me', 'Mr Bojangles'.. suits a certain taste of course... and ceryianly I'm a rock whore who can appreciate the finer edges of a voice!
