Danielj Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Nina Simone is a jazz blues singer and pianist. Her smokey voice is really interesting and powerful, just like some of the lyrics she sings. But she does have a fun and upbeat side to her. The song Funkier than a mosquitos tweeter is just that, funkier than a mosquitos tweeter. About 14832756743684758429068 different tams at the start and great lyrics like "You've got a mouth like a herd of boll weevils" Check her out, she's great.

Rich Berry Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hey Daniel, we obviously share the same taste in music. I've been a Simone fan for ages, ever since I saw the music video for "My Baby Just Cares For Me". Other favourites of mine are: Ain't Got No (I Got Life) - currently used as the music in a current Muller Yoghurt advertising campaign, which in itself isn't bad with some great dance moves.

edna Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 "My baby just cares for me" is a lovely clip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG4WY2LrLgs&search=nina%20simone%20my%20baby%20just%20cares%20for%20me I love "I put a spell on you" by almost everybody, but Nina Simone´s version is one of the best.

Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I love her voice. Edna, I dig the crazy cats in that clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I've loved her for quite some time. She is pretty famous, but sorely underrated. Great singer, pianist and composer. Plus, she went crazy before she died, which is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulGirl Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 as do i! nina is savage! i love her version of 'strange fruit'. she had a fantastic unique soulful voice. i bought tickets for me and my boy to go see her but she fell ill and the gig was cancelled and then she died. i really regret not having seen her live.
