Nina Simone Lyrics

Eunice Kathleen Waymon was born on February 21, 1933 in
Tryon, North Carolina, USA., the sixth of eight children,
four boys and four girls. Early on in life she revealed a
prodigious musical talent playing the piano and singing in
the local church with her sisters in their mother's choir.
At the age of six, in 1939, a benefactor paid for her first
piano lessons.

Eunice made so much progress that in 1943, when she was

There she not only experienced her first applause, but More...

not religious | Reviewer: Nicci

------ About the song That's All I Want From You performed by Nina Simone

I think the sentiment is nice....being able to personalize the song and compare it to your faith but I dont think this song is exclusively religious either "this is a very good message of god to his ppl" is too definitive...and its not a true representation of the music in my opinion. It's a love song...what kind of love is not specific. This makes me think of the man that I love...because good love has a good foundation...it starts slow and it builds on itself...that is how it lasts.

Sounds to me and makes more sense | Reviewer: Ray Larue

------ About the song Forbidden Fruit performed by Nina Simone

hollered what have you two ate. not the 1st time i've heard it pronounced that way. It's the way older southern folks sometimes talk. And God already knew what they had done but he had to ask them the question so it only makes sense. if some one ate your brownies will you ask what have you to add? doesnt make sense. you might ask did you eat something that didnt belong to you. change it or not I can clearly hear what she is saying.

------ About the song Mississippi Goddam performed by Nina Simone

Why would you come here to hear a classic song? And make that stupid ass comment. An entertainer who is trying to ensure that her people get what they deserve. There is no federal law that puts ghettos next to whites..... WTH are you talking about? I'm white, I have been for 45 years......never called someone a cracker before, but you sir are a CRACKER! Make sure you go to the dry cleaners to pick up your hood before the next meeting.

Song is a lie | Reviewer: DL

------ About the song Mississippi Goddam performed by Nina Simone

The song says, "you don't have to live next to me". That's a lie. It's federal law that they put black ghettos in wherever we whites move to get away from them! We have to let them in our schools and watch them be destroyed. I thought the blacks were going to build their own infrastructure lol. They never have, anywhere in the world.

------ About the song That's All I Want From You performed by Nina Simone

My daughter asked me to teach her a religious song for her project. I remember wayback elementary days to be specific grade 2. My religion teacher taught us this song.this is a very good message of GOD to us people. I really love this song. Smooth and touchy song :)I'm more than happy to teach this song for my kid.

This is a great song that anyone anywhere in the world can relate to, voice deep and smooth like rich dark honey with a tang, song like good wine, lyrics as fresh as the day it was first sung.

------ About the song Mississippi Goddam performed by Nina Simone

I came by here to just read the lyrics and see how still today the same thing, go slow, I hear Republicans say we are angry and things have gotten somuch better. they are better more oportunity but the way they handle Our President leaves me to wonder how better is it, when everything they are trying to do to revert all that we have won. Not only Mississippi but all over this land. especially in the middle of the map. why do you still hate us so?

------ About the song Wild Is the Wind performed by Nina Simone

Nina Simone, one of the best artist of our time. Wild is the Wind is my favorite song and after years and years of hearing it, I am still in love with it :-) "For we're creatures of the wind
and wild is the wind" I think this says it all.
