    You should read her Wikipedia. :) She was born in Tryon, North Carolina. And she spend the rest of her days in France. She was like "F it, I'm out. If y'all wanna see me, you best come to Paris cus I'm not going back." She was an amazing voice. She also does a good cover of "I Put a Spell on You."

    A really good feeling reaction ✊🏿! Feeling Good was a song recorded for Nina Simone's 1964 album: I Put A Spell On You. The song wasn't released as a single until 1994 on Nina Simone's compilation album: Feeling Good - The Very Best Of Nina Simone. It was written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1964 UK musical: The Roar Of The Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd. It was first performed on stage in 1964 by Cy Grant. It (Nina Simone's version) was arranged and produced by Hal Mooney. It didn't chart in the US but peaked at #40 on the UK singles chart. In 2021, a music video was produced for the song and was directed by Sarah Lacombe.
    The music video for follows four generations of Black women “living their truths, loving each other, celebrating their hair, and feeling good". The music video is the result of a partnership between Dove, Verve Records/UMe/Universal Music Canada, and Nina Simone’s estate, who came together to create a video depicting Black joy, beauty and self-expression. “Nina was a tireless champion of individual freedom of expression”, a representative of the Nina Simone Charitable Trust said in a statement. “She inspired the young, gifted and Black to celebrate their culture, reminding them their souls were intact just the way they were”.
    The music video is meant to raise awareness for the CROWN Act, a US law that prohibits race-based hair discrimination. The CROWN Act, which stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair” and was spearheaded in 2019 by Dove and the CROWN Coalition, has been passed in 12 states so far.
    “Dove is on a mission to change beauty and redefine narrow beauty standards. It is not acceptable for any of us to change our natural identity to gain employment or access to school”, said Esi Eggleston Bracey, an executive at Unilever North America. “Now is the time to pass The CROWN Act and eliminate this barrier for children and adults everywhere because we all deserve to feel good about the way we wear our hair. This video expresses just that - what it’s like to feel good when you’re free to be you”.
    In 1994, the song was used in a British TV commercial for Volkswagen, and became popular. Released as a single, it reached #40 on the UK Singles Chart in July 1994.
    In 2022, American Songwriter ranked "Feeling Good" number one on their list of the 10 greatest Nina Simone songs.
    In 2023, The Guardian ranked the song number four on their list of the 20 greatest Nina Simone songs.
    Lyrics 🗒:
    Birds flying high you know how I feel
    Sun in the sky you know how I feel
    Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life for me yeah
    It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
    Ouh
    And I'm feeling good
    Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
    River running free, you know how I feel
    Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    For me
    And I'm feeling good
    Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
    Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
    Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
    And this old world, is a new world
    And a bold world for me
    Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
    Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
    Oh freedom is mine
    And I know how I feel
    It's a new dawn
    It's a new day
    It's a new life
    For me
    And I'm feeling good
    Nina Simone Info 📰:
    Eunice Waymon aka Nina Simone was born on February 21, 1933, in Tryon, North Carolina. She passed away on April 21, 2003 in Carry-Le-Rouet, France. She was an American singer, songwriter, producer, pianist, composer, arranger and Civil Rights activist. Her music spanned styles including Classical, Folk, Gospel, Blues, Jazz, R&B and Pop. Her musical influences growing up include: Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Miriam Makeba, Sarah Vaughan, Jacques Brel, Lena Horne, Ludwig Van Beethoven and Franz Schubert. Nina Simone initially aspired to be a concert pianist. Her piano playing was strongly influenced by Baroque and Classical music, especially Johann Sebastian Bach, and accompanied expressive, Jazz-like singing in her contralto voice.
    With the help of a few supporters in her hometown, she enrolled in the Juilliard School Of Music in New York City. She then applied for a scholarship to study at the Curtis Institute Of Music in Philadelphia, where, despite a well received audition, she was denied admission, which she attributed to racism. In 2003, just days before her death, the Institute awarded her an honorary degree. Discouraged, she took private piano lessons with Vladimir Sokoloff, a professor at the Curtis Institute Of Music, but never could re-apply. At the time the Curtis Institute Of Music did not accept students over 21.
    She then took a job as a photographer's assistant, found work as an accompanist at Arlene Smith's vocal studio, and taught piano from her home in Philadelphia. To make a living, Eunice Waymon started playing piano at a nightclub in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She changed her stage name to "Nina Simone" to disguise herself from family members, having chosen to play "the devil's music" or so-called "cocktail piano". She was told in the nightclub that she would have to sing to her own accompaniment, which effectively launched her career as a Jazz vocalist.
    She went on to record more than 40 albums between 1958 and 1974, making her professional music industry debut with the album: Little Girl Blue (1959). She released her first hit single in the United States in 1958 with the single: "I Loves You, Porgy". Nina Simone is regarded as one of the most influential recording artists of 20th-century Jazz, Cabaret and R&B genres.

    Nina was from North Carolina. There’s a documentary on Netflix called, What Happened, Miss Simone? She had a lot of demons, but she channeled it into her artistry.
