ghost of miles Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Last week's Night Lights show focused on the diverse body of work that Nina Simone recorded for RCA in the late 1960s and early 70s, interpreting songwriters from Hoagy Carmichael to Jimmy Webb, offering civil-rights commentary through songs such as "Backlash Blues" and "I Wish I Knew How It Feels To Be Free," and incorporating folk, pop, rock and soul into her repertoire.

l p Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 this would be a good place to start a thread of people filed in the jazz section who have nothing to do with jazz.soul/r&b is where she belongs. she ain't no jazz singer.

JSngry Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 she weren't no soul/R&B singer either, if that matters in this hypothetical record store (are there any other kinds these days?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l p Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 instead, give you some taste in music. she can't sing, mostly chooses bad songs to record, and you're a judgemental fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipi Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Woah, settle down kids. This is like reading YouTube comments.If you don't care for Nina Simone's music, I humbly suggest this isn't the best thread to be reading or commenting on.
