OMG! this song the first time I heard it, it literally gave me goosebumps. The pain, the cries of these four black women. Ms. Simone has captured thier cries so beautifully. For all of you who don't hear or understand what I'm saying please educate yourselves on how to correctly interpret music. This song is not racial, it highlights black women's sufferage. It specifically highlights, the stereotypes that our black sistas have had to endure whilst battling for equality.
My dad named my after nina simone n now i like her music, thnks dad
my interruptation of this song, dnt judge
these are all sad sterotypes the darker your skin the more resistent to pain (Aunt Sarah) Mixed children are a product of rape (siffronia) certain black women are prostitutes sweet thing oh but peaches seemed alright
as the tan one I get it. So many men want to sleep with me and I cannot stand it. I don't mind being attractive, no- I love it. But I want to be married. Someones wife and treasure not someones whore. I don't even have sex! I'm waiting until I am married and they don't take no for an answer. I was so stupid and weak back in the day. I was raped twice and I will die before I put myself into another situation. I will not do it. I will not. I love Nina. She sings for the woman who has no morelove
Being raped does not make you weak and stupid :) the pigs who raped you are that. Do not put yourself down not all men are bad. Don't worry soon enough you will find a lovely man who will treat you right for you and who doesn't want to only sleep with you. :)
i dont get it.....well i do but there is still something so mysterious about it. it leaves me with the feeling like im missing some pieces of a puzzel.
Are we sure about the second woman's name? I always thought it was *SA*ffronia--for the spice called saffron, which adds a golden color to whatever it's cooked with.
@tonywrestles2 i don't think she was talking about humans feeling pain, but the pain inflicted cause of their orgins and the color of their skin, as black women.
@tonywrestles2 True that. It certainly does not dismiss the human condition or its pain (to which this piece also refers). It just eloquently brings neon attention to the COLORED woman's condition with four complexions - intricate complexions of the soul - artistically, lyrically and melodically expressed by Ms. Simone. We true colored women like her (I am colored & 60) relate w/ all and none of them, simultaneously. You might have one, too. Plz do likewise and share with us.
Im Not a woman, But i really Love this song and as a Guy,raised by his Suffered Mother and Grandma I really feel Respect and Admiration for Women...and i kinda see myself on Siffronia
@MzzDivaWitEdge09 r u kidding me? this song makes me feel proud to be black and a woman! this song is about the many types of black women. In such a short song she explained the history and wonder colors of beautiful black people through slavery, rape, and media exploitation.
@gillettefoamy : I figure you posted this post in the "spirit of fun" but this song is beautiful. it does not need to be degraded by your not so funny post. The woman who sang it was, is and always will be a musical and civil rights legend. Please treat her music and memory with respect.
@mvuyiful - What do you mean? Why so upset? Have you been using Barbasol again? No disrespect from me. This is a real song - I wrote it and sing it to myself every time I shave, and sometimes even when I'm not shaving. But I LOVE to shave, especially with Gillette Foamy, so like I said... peace homie.
Now... where did I put that razor....? AHA!!!!!!!! Here it is!!!! Yes! Yes!! YES!!!!!! Time to use the Gillette Foamy!!!! And once again, AHA!!!!!!! Here is the Gillette Foamy!!!!!!
So I hear thi on Black Girls Rock and I h the thought to write a poem that would relate to thi ong an then Hve 4 girls sing iut while I read the poem aan hve 1 dancer dance to it at my schools black hitory program is that a good idea?
@britt094life: Nina Simone is a woman....her voice is just different and distinct. Besides her lyrics and talent, she was very important during the Civil Rights movement. Jazz icon is what I think.

THANK GOD for Nina Simone. Love Nina. So true . . . we are so diverse. Wonder what song she would have sung at the inauguration? Maybe, 'Young Gifted and Black'? Love that one too.
I was listening to this song and someone asked me, "Why do you like this song? You're not even black!" And I replied to them, "I don't have to be black to like this song!"
@angieisafeline As a Black person, I agree with you! i say this song gives ANYONE just the briefest of glimpses of what it is like to be Black. Besides good music is good music
@angieisafeline This reminds me of when I was 11 and I was dancing and singing along in my house to James Brown's Say it loud, I'm black and proud! (my sister's record.) I am white, and English was not even my mother tongue and therefore I did not yet understand what exactly he meant, but I had long black hair and that's why I felt it was okay to sing along. It somehow gave me strength. At 52, soul music is still high on my list of fave music and will always be. Huge Nina Simone fan too!
Are we sure about the second woman's name? I always thought it was *SA*ffronia--for the spice called saffron, which adds a golden color to whatever it's cooked with.
@felice0913 if this is shocking to you...God, you better get ready for LIFE...did you know alot of people think it's ok to kill people? ah oops we're in iraq,its ok let's vote them back him and KILL KILL KILL....and ur worried because 6 people dont like this song??? Those 6 people are probably the 6 that DO support war...so nothing shocking there my friend. Carry on
This song is a result of all the pain fromthe racism that this singer and other black women may have experienced back in those that time. So fuck what you gotta say about race relations in 2010...stay within the context of the song. If you can't handle a touchy subject then be on to the next one.
@SuniDays87 The peach tree (Prunus persica) is a species of Prunus native to China that bears an edible juicy fruit called a peach. It is a deciduous tree growing to 4–10 m (13–33 ft) tall, belonging to the subfamily Prunoideae of the family Rosaceae. It is classified with the almond in the subgenus Amygdalus within the genus Prunus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell. YOUR WELCOME.
@SuniDays87 Peaches is the name of the last of the Four Women, the one who is most militant. All in all: Aunt Sarah, Siffronia, Sweet Thing (the victims) and Peaches (the warrior).
@SuniDays87 I think peaches references the tough African American woman. In my experience, all the really tough girls had the softest nicknames. No offense.
Races doesn't exist, we created them. Beauty doesn't exist either, we created it as well. That proves how shallow and stupid human beings can be, why can't we just change that?
@LongLiveMyMusic I PRAY every night that one day things will change and everyone will be considered equal. maybe when some that has great power and influence over this world. they will set things straight...
@LongLiveMyMusic One of the dumbest things to say is that race doesn't exist because then you are ignoring the fact that it does, that there are massive differences between races, and that it is those same differences that make us beautiful and unique.
Anyways, this song is beautiful, and the last stanza is quite empowering.
@LongLiveMyMusic I sort of understand what you're saying. I often wonder who came up with the things that we know. Who said things are what they are? My husband says that I think too hard. We always discuss why is orange orange and why can't it be red? Theres more from where that came from but I will never know until I meet God if that is even his/her name. But until I find out, he will be known as such. Only he/she knows.
@msbblova I'm fairly certain it hasn't been revealed yet, I too have been searching high and low. I do want to see it's Anika Noni Rose singing it for the movie though.
@me21252@msbblova On the soundtrack listing has been revealed and it says it's Four Women – By Nina Simone, Simone, Laura Izibor & Ledisi. Maybe they all sing a verse ??
@msbblova on the trailer, it's actually Nina's voice. But on the soundtrack of the movie, it's her daughter, who is a recording artist that just goes by Simone.
@SexNSiditty Really it's Nina's voice on the trailer? cause it sounds alot different then on this version for example the part where it goes " my mouth is like wine"

@SuniDays87 Peaches is the name of the last of the Four Women, the one who is most militant. All in all: Aunt Sarah, Siffronia, Sweet Thing (the victims) and Peaches (the warrior).

@SuniDays87 I think peaches references the tough African American woman. In my experience, all the really tough girls had the softest nicknames. No offense.

Races doesn't exist, we created them. Beauty doesn't exist either, we created it as well. That proves how shallow and stupid human beings can be, why can't we just change that?

@LongLiveMyMusic I PRAY every night that one day things will change and everyone will be considered equal. maybe when some that has great power and influence over this world. they will set things straight...

@LongLiveMyMusic One of the dumbest things to say is that race doesn't exist because then you are ignoring the fact that it does, that there are massive differences between races, and that it is those same differences that make us beautiful and unique.
Anyways, this song is beautiful, and the last stanza is quite empowering.

@LongLiveMyMusic I sort of understand what you're saying. I often wonder who came up with the things that we know. Who said things are what they are? My husband says that I think too hard. We always discuss why is orange orange and why can't it be red? Theres more from where that came from but I will never know until I meet God if that is even his/her name. But until I find out, he will be known as such. Only he/she knows.

Anyone knows who sang "Four Women" in Tyler Perry's Trailer "For Colored Girls"?

@msbblova I'm fairly certain it hasn't been revealed yet, I too have been searching high and low. I do want to see it's Anika Noni Rose singing it for the movie though.

@me21252 @msbblova On the soundtrack listing has been revealed and it says it's Four Women – By Nina Simone, Simone, Laura Izibor & Ledisi. Maybe they all sing a verse ??

@msbblova on the trailer, it's actually Nina's voice. But on the soundtrack of the movie, it's her daughter, who is a recording artist that just goes by Simone.

@SexNSiditty Really it's Nina's voice on the trailer? cause it sounds alot different then on this version for example the part where it goes " my mouth is like wine"
