Sorry to hear of the passing of the great jazz/gospel singer Nina Simone. Here's a link to the New York Times obit which just begins to tell her amazing, courageous story. Of course, no article could properly summarize her music but fortunately, we have CDs for that. I was honored to attend one of her last American concerts in July of 2001 and it was a wonderful experience. If she hadn't finally left the stage, we'd all still be standing and cheering.
