Nina Simone- "Work Song" Live (Merv Griffin Show 1966)

The haunting and soulful Nina Simone sings a riveting version of "Work Song" evoking the chain gang laments of the African-American South. Merv Griffin had over 5000 guests appear on his show from 1963-1986.

I'm crazy for this song and the jazz ladies!

Talk about making a biopic about Nina Simone. Producer wants to use Zoe Saladone who's not black and doesnn't resemble Nina in the least. Just like Liz Taylor didn't look a thing like Cleopatra. Come on! Adepero Oduye is the better choice. Say yes!

U r guilty for refusing to understand that the conditions still exist...just in a different form!! And r still being perpetuated! Case example..recently a car was stopped police, car contained three males, two so called whites, one so called black. The two so called whites were let go, so called black was detained, cuffed to the back placed in police car. So called black was later discovered DEAD! Cop explaination...wait for it....SUICIDE!? RACISM!? I don't know..What do u think...as if i care!
