“Wikipedia:
Eunice Kathleen Waymon, better known by her stage name Nina Simone (IPA: ninɐ sʌmɞnɑ) (February 21, 1933 – April 21, 2003), was a fifteen-time Grammy Award-nominated American singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger and civil rights activist.

Although she disliked being categorized, Simone is generally classified as a jazz musician. Simone originally aspired to become a classical pianist, but her work covers an eclectic variety of musical styles besides her classical basis, such as jazz, soul, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop music. Her vocal style is characterized by intense passion, a loose vibrato, and a slightly androgynous timbre, in part due to her unusually low vocal range which veered between the alto and tenor ranges (occasionally even reaching baritone lows). Sometimes known as the High Priestess of Soul, she paid great attention to the musical expression of emotions. Within one album or concert she could fluctuate between exuberant happiness or tragic melancholy. These fluctuations also characterized her own personality and personal life, worsened by a bipolar disorder with which she was diagnosed in the mid-1960s, but was kept secret until 2004.

Simone recorded over 40 live and studio albums, the biggest body of her work being released between 1958 (when she made her debut with Little Girl Blue) and 1974. Songs she is best known for include "My Baby Just Cares for Me", "I Put a Spell on You", "I Loves You Porgy", "Feeling Good", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Sinnerman", "To Be Young, Gifted and Black", "Strange Fruit", "Ain't Got No/I Got Life" and "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl". Her music and message made a strong and lasting impact on African-American culture, illustrated by the numerous contemporary artists who cite her as an important influence (among them Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Jeff Buckley, and Lauryn Hill), as well as the extensive use of her music on soundtracks and in remixes.”

“salon.com:
Nina Simone is what you might call a problematic artist: sometimes unbelievably moving, other times unbearably self-indulgent -- and sometimes both, in the same song. As her career progressed, the latter quality unfortunately won out. La Simone got shriller and shriller, more and more grandiose, until she finally disappeared, flying into the ozone like some kind of wicked witch (eventually to make various semi-comebacks). But just before she got out of control (that would be the early '70s), she had an apotheosis. In the late '60s, her intensity still focused, she went from cabaret-style soul-jazz chanteuse to quasi-pop star, coming up with tremendous, definitive covers of songs by rockers and folk-rockers like Bob Dylan, the Beatles, Jimmy Webb, Randy Newman, Leonard Cohen and (of all people) the Bee Gees. These are my favorite Nina Simone songs, the heart of "Sugar in My Bowl" (those who prefer Simone's earlier, cafe-society style should get her '96 collection "Anthology: The Colpix Years" on Rhino). These songs go with me to the desert island, or the bunker, or wherever.

Though no doubt Simone is prouder of other things, she carved out an unlikely specialty, "Best Interpreter of '60s Bee Gees Tunes," recasting the Gibbs' fey ballads into powerful incantations: "To Love Somebody" and "I Can't See Nobody," massive and brooding as thunderheads; "In the Morning," which elevates the Gibbs into first-class gospel composers; and "Please Read Me," which becomes a gorgeous piano showpiece. ("Sugar" is sprinkled with Simone's under-recognized piano brilliance, including a funky, previously unreleased jazz jam, "Jelly Roll," the alternately wonderful/awful "Another Spring" and "Here Comes the Sun," where Simone wastes some wonderful, spare playing on a treacly arrangement of the George Harrison tune.)

No other singer could make a bathetic shmatta like Jimmy Webb's "Do What You Gotta Do" so caring, and careworn; nobody could telescope more emotion into a single, idiosyncratically turned syllable (listen to the way she says the word "Savannah" in her spoken intro to "Sunday in Savannah." It breaks your heart -- and she ain't even singin' yet!). She cuts Dylan dead on "I Shall Be Released," which she turns into pure church (more great piano here); "Ain't Got No/I Got Life" makes the "Hair" cast sound like hamsters, and a previously unreleased take of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" is loose and flowing and infinitely knowing.

The last song, "22nd Century," is the worst thing I've ever heard in my life.
