Nina Simone abuses the audience a bit in this video and tells off a woman in the audience at 2 minutes in, I guess who was headed for the bathroom. After watching this one, I realized Nina was a bit bitchy, besides being a good singer and a rockin' pianist. She wanted to be a concert pianist. The rumor is she was rejected from the Curtis Institute of Music because she was Black. This isn't one of my favorite songs of hers, but I think she said what every musician on earth has wanted to say to an audience member. Good for her.
Simone died in 2003. She is my favorite female singer. Better song by her.

Not a very likable woman.
You don't understand Nina. . . She spoke to a whole generation of us during a period of great transition. There is something about her voice, it takes you deep inside and calls you back . . .
Agree last anonymous
