Is anyone else a fan?

Have you been watching the espionage soap opera La Femme Nikita?

Interestingly enough, I've never seen that.

I have the RCA anthology which I do enjoy listeing to. I like the story about her firing a gun out her window at a noisy neighbor....

I may get crucified for this, but I don't like Nina. IMO, her voice is devoid of emotion.

Well, she's no Carol Channing that's for sure.

There is a very good Speaker's Corner LP from this artist.

Watched Nina Simone on cable OVTV's " Nina Simone at the Montreal Jazz Festival". The crowd was on their feet. Never saw her on film before but she's a very intense woman. I am a fan. I believe there is going to be a movie about her to be played by Mary L Blige.

I think she's great.

I love Nina Simone.

I could listen to her all day. In fact I think I will. Thanks for the suggestion.

I heart Nina. I just queued up Sinnerman.

Ditto.

I must confess I've only heard her two most well-known songs, "Sinnerman" and "Sea Lion Woman" (a cover of which Feist pulls off nicely on her most recent album), but I love them both.

Also look at the Live version of "I Ain't Got No-I've Got Life."

"Sinnerman" is something of a religious experience, especially at the end; her hesitation is what makes it.
