Description

This is the extraordinary story, told in her own words, of one the great singers and musicians of her generation. Born the sixth child of a preacher's family in North Carolina, Nina Simone initially showed immense talent at classical piano and won a scholarship to the Juillard Music School. She became a nightclub entertainer almost by accident and swiftly rose to international stardom. The book recounts her 1960s civil rights activities, stormy marriage and tragic love affair. Almost forgotten, she fled to Europe, survived a suicide attempt, and has come back to grace the international music scene.
