Nina Simone - "Four Women"


"From "Young, Gifted, and Black" to "Four Women", at least to me, Nina Simone is a real Queen of song."
Dear friends,

Except for Elaine Brown (who actually started after her), Nicki Mathis, and a few others, I can think of no single female singer who has contributed to both the Black Consciousness Movement and the overall movement of Female Liberation as Nina Simone has, from "Young, Gifted, and Black" to "Four Women", at least to me, Nina Simone is a real Queen of song.

On the link below, please enjoy a sample of her legend.
