Nina Simone
In Concert
1964
Wiki:
Nina Simone in Concert is an album by singer/pianist/songwriter Nina Simone. It was her first album for the record label Philips and was made up of three live recordings in Carnegie Hall, New York City in March and April 1964 (previously, she had recorded Nina Simone at Carnegie Hall in 1963 for Colpix Records). This album marks the beginning of "Nina Simone, the Civil Rights singer" in her recording career (she had already incorporated the civil rights message in her performances). Included on the album are politically laden songs, most notably the self-written "Mississippi Goddam", released as a single at the time. But also "Old Jim Crow", "Go Limp" and the haunting "Pirate Jenny" contributed to the message in a covert or methaporical way.
Lyrics:
I left a note on his dresser
my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can I sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

@rakibrown There are, they're just not popular. Bland, flat and featureless music is in fashion now.

@frankieluvs Agreed. She was one of the greats. The Goddess. Much bigger than just her Art, which was boundless.

Wow ... I could close my eyes and picture myself at that concert (and I did). Excellent recording of an amazing woman. Perfect.

Try not to feel vulnerable after you hear Nina pour her heart out in each and EVERY performance. She'll make your legs all wobbly!
