Simone has created for herself a world of magnificent peaks. Often compared to Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, Simone is known as one of the greatest singers of her generation. She has recorded forty-three albums, ranging from blues to jazz to folk, and her hits like "I Loves You, Porgy," "My Baby Just Cares for Me," "I Put a Spell on You," and "Mississippi Goddam" have confirmed her as an enduring force in popular music. Her song "Young, Gifted, and Black" became the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement and thrust her beyond international stardom into the center of activism. But such worlds as Simone's are not without their grim valleys: disastrous marriages, arrest and the threat of imprisonment, mental breakdown, poverty, and attempted suicide. She has survived these trials and continues to perform throughout Europe and the United States. With undiminished passion and in her unconquerable voice, this is Nina Simone's powerful memoir of her tempestuous life."--Amazon.com viewed Aug. 5, 2022. 600 10 $a Simone, Nina, $d 1933-2003. 600 17 $a Simone, Nina, $d 1933-2003 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00285969 650 0 $a African American women singers $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American singers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Singers $v Biography. 650 6 $a Chanteuses noires ameÌricaines $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Chanteurs noirs ameÌricains $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Chanteurs $v Biographies. 650 7 $a African American singers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799357 650 7 $a African American women singers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799524 650 7 $a Singers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119301 655 2 $a Autobiography 655 2 $a Biography 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Cleary, Stephen, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100249.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E7109042214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
