@blewis9505 Thank you for that information, more sad story on Nina but thank goodness she has a daughter who appreciates and carries her name. I have not checked her out because I didn't know it. Yours is the first response I have gotten from youtube, came to my email box. Thanks again for sharing.
@Juliebaker1 Her daughter's birth name is Lisa Stroud. Nina's former husband and manager was Andy Stroud who was abusive and a thief who stole her money and horribly mismanaged her career. Lisa chose to be known professionally as Simone in tribute to her mother.
Wait Nina, a storm is coming. The clouds are forming and angry. I see, hear and feel the color purple. We must go back. No, I want to feel alive, I want to feel wild as the wind. Love me, love me, say you do. Nina we must go back. No, caress me forever, take my hunger away. Kiss me, touch me. The thunder and your kiss feels like a thousand mandolins. Hold tight to the tree Nina like a leaf my love. No, hold me Omoro. Hold me; we will fly away together like creatures of the wind. We are itself~
Nina Simone was quite simply the best diva ever. She could transform any song into a magical experience. There will never be another singer with her depth, sensitivity, and sheer class. Yes, she could be sassy. But it is her music I revere, not her faults. RIP, dear one.
This is so touching, I felt like crying. Her voice is so powerful and sad.

I believe Nina had a daughter who uses the same last name and is a performer, does anyone know of this or any particulars on it?

Probably the best love song I've ever heard - one of those "once in a lifetime" master-pieces. Quite beautiful.

Life as such since 2000 has become such BOREDOM worth dying for. If only to capture Ms Simone's notes where they belong...in the wind.

@tothapointk agree - and the 2002 version of Nina's friend David Bowie is a different great interpretation of this beautiful song.
