Nina Simone

From United States

Nina Simone is a living legend. For 30 years her extraordinary voice has remained unequaled for passion and intensity, as has her mastery of interpretation and her musical virtuosity. She is one of those rare artists whose music is instantly recognisable: she is a consummate jazz instrumentalist and vocalist who can swing with the best of them. But she is also able to express other emotions, from tenderness and joy to rage and sadness.
