ghost of miles Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 This week on Night Lights it's "Here Comes the Sun: Nina Simone on RCA." In late 1966 the fiercely individualistic singer and pianist Nina Simone signed with RCA Records and continued her genre-bending explorations of jazz, blues, pop, folk, and soul, recording songs such as Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "The Look of Love," Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne," civil-rights anthems such as "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free," and occasional standards such as Hoagy Carmichael's "I Get Along Without You Very Well." We'll hear all of those and more, Saturday, April 29 at 11:05 p.m. on WFIU and at 9 p.m. Central Time on WNIN-Evansville. The program will be posted Monday afternoon in the Night Lights archives.

Didn't know she wrote a song with Langston Hughes. You just cost me money as I went over to Yourmusic.com and ordered all the cds they have for her.
