I m just so amazed when I ve found a real soul in voice, music and political act. And she was one of the best representatives of that. Like Jello Biafra / Dead Kennedys, and Lee Perry and Black Sabbath, she is the voice of freedom to me, not just passive freedom but freedom that you create by standing out and shouting somethings wrong, and just representing your real tender soul which screams.. So, anybody likes her as well? * i was very suprised that she was friend s with james Baldwin, the black author of the first gay mainstream roman Giovanni s room.
I love Nina Simone, my wife and I had our first dance at our wedding to "Feeling Good", ah sends a shiver down my spine whenever I hear that song
I cried too, and my biggest surprise was her interwiew few days before she died on national televison here in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
