Woman of the Month, February 2007
From Dr. Simone’s Official Website:
February 21, 1933 - April 21, 2003
Singer - Pianist - Arranger - Composer
Honorary Doctor in Music and Humanities
High Priestess of Soul
Queen of African Rooted Classical Music
Websites with brief biographies:
Dr. Simone’s Official Website and the biography page from that site.
Wikipedia Entry on Dr. Simone
Unofficial, but comprehensive site, the Nina Simone Web, and another Unofficial, but comprehensive site, L’hommage
About.com’s page on Dr. Simone
The main resource I’ll be using is Dr. Simone’s autobiography and some of her CDs, especially Anthology and Nina: The Essential Nina Simone.
This weekend I’ll post some more articles about her, including NPR’s and some other tributes.
