She's Got My Number...It's NINA SIMONE, 'Feeling Good'?

 by Newtown grafitti cc

O.K....This lady's got my number...It's NINA SIMONE and HERE i love her voice and 'jazzy' style, even though I most often go for BLUZZZ music. I like the jazz of CHET BAKER too I can listen to them both all day long [my story on Chet Baker.HERE Jan]. Simone was able to combine Classical, R & B, Gospel, Jazz, Blues, Pop and Folk styles together nicely, creating a unique, odd and mysterious sound to me. She was a 15 time Grammy award winner too and suffered with bipolar mental disorder [this was NOT disclosed, until after her death],...WOW...Oh, I didn't know that. Many great, creators.... original musicians, actors and artists it seems, have had problems like that...Simone seems so lonely and sad in many of her life story videos...there was not much doctors could do back then, maybe that's why. Glad there's lotsa help now for folks that need help. Cool [Doctors said I had Bipolar in 1994 but it was the first signs of M.S.they then said in 1999...Jan] 
She worked hard for the civil rights movement in the 60's, her songs became very popular. Her family came from North Carolina, her birth name was Eunice Kathleen Wayman. Like many 'soul singers' of the 60's she started singing gospel music in her church as a child. Her mother was a Methodist minister, her father a handyman. She had seven brothers and sisters. Jan
