Simone was before her time. The lyric to Four Women gives me chill. We are so strong black women. The pain that our ancestors went through was carry from generation to generation.
This video was assembled perfectly everything is where it should be it lines up perfectly with the song and I love all these ladies they did a phenomenal job on this
Thank you all for the kind words. I saw a video of these kids who were saying how they felt about dark skin VS light skinned people that broke my heart. I wanted to show the beauty in "black" is endless. We come in the most diverse forms, hues, and are magnificent. We are the origin of mankind and should take pride in all that we are.
This was very creative and beautiful. I as a black man truly appreciate the beauty and diversity of African American women. They are strong and beautiful and this video embodies that. I applaud your creativity.
When i first heard their version, I damn near cried. I played it all day. over and over and over.. God Bless Nina Simone for all that she endured and still gave us such LIFE and History! I couldnt even begin to imagine the Price our forefathers paid for US!!!!! The songs and Picture still don't tell it all, but damnit I will take it and appreciate it. We have fallen so far from this Queen
I remember in college doing a whole entire report on this video and trying to explain the importance of this video to my white professor and white class mates! This video still gives me chills till this day of course good chills!❤️☺️
I get chills every single time I hear this! This has to be one of the best live performances on television since whitney houston performances at the grammys, or when michael jackson did the moonwalk for the first time on stage. Great work!
+Kimberly Watkins if you haven't heard it, the version with dianne reeves, angelique kidjo, lizz wright and simone (nina's daughter) is fantastic too!!!
+exene c she would sound AWESOME in fact EVERY version of this song I've ever seen or heard done by any combination of sistah's gives me goosebumps !!!
Thank you for this, Blauqkween! (I have the Kwa Ndebele doll!) @1:12, Lisa Bonet is one fortunate woman, stood tall and never settled. Now she has a young husband and three precious kids - who don't have TV in their house - what a Mom! Bonus? Momoa calls her Queen.
It was my pleasure. I wanted to show how beautiful and diverse we are as a people.I did it after watching a video of light skin verses dark skinned teens hating on each other.
+Shambi F. I have not restricted the video. I could not find the original Clear version RUclips. I will ask my daughter to look because I do not see where to make it downloadable. I can download the vid and create an MP3 myself. I did search and found a site with the song. I hope this helps you. soundcloud.com/illadelph-beatnik/black-girls-rock-2010-four
DatBrutha1 thank you. I love this version of the song as well. Those queens killed it. The video, I wanted to show the love and appreciation for our diversity and beauty.
I wish we could’ve gotten a studio version of this. These women did a phenomenal job.
Yes Lawd!!!
I know, right! I freaking love this performance of a classic song. So much emotion and great delivery. These women are phenomenal! ❤❤❤❤
Omg yes! It literally gives me chills.

Sang Ledisi!!! This is perfect, I feel they embodied each character very well. GREAT INTERPRETATION!!!
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Love this version, I love Nina Simone's version (the original version) but when Ledisi hit that last note.... OH MY GOD, can you say powerful?!
Kelly Price’s runs are perfect!
That "Aunt Sarah" run! 🔥🔥
Beautifully done ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful sisters singing. Beautiful sisters in this video.
This was very creative and beautiful. I as a black man truly appreciate the beauty and diversity of African American women. They are strong and beautiful and this video embodies that. I applaud your creativity.

Our ancestors would weep for what we have become. Stay Kings and Queens.
@@Blauqkween INDEED
What should they call me! Daughters of Zion!!!!
This is the BEST Remake and Rendition I have EVER Heard! These Ladies should have recorded this and released it! They spoke to my SOUL!
I came back to listen again on Women’s Day 2022. Still an exquisitely executed song.
I always come back to this song and every time it hits so hard.
I can't help but cry every time I listen to this song it's so ... there's no words just wow
I remember in college doing a whole entire report on this video and trying to explain the importance of this video to my white professor and white class mates! This video still gives me chills till this day of course good chills!❤️☺️
I am 13 and this is a inspiring message.
This is music.
