***Disclaimer***This is the first of many posts She-Salt will make about Queen Nina. Get wit it!
It was in my Black Revolutionary Texts class where I first fell in love with this performance. Nina Simone's performance of "Four Women" is a hybrid of oh so fly content and remarkable musicality. This has got to be one of my favorite songs of hers and I love her swag on this song in particular. Pay extra attention to the way "The High Priestess of Soul" breaks it down at (5:00). Queen Nina Simone telling the stories of Four Black Women=incomparable and simply genius. Listen to the words. I love how the last woman's name is PEACHES :) Nina is such a "FLY GYPSY WOMAN" (shout outs to Luna E-post soon to come :)
Nina Simone schoolin' em dans (in) France!
