Nina Simone belongs to the pantheon of exceptional voices and remains an immense, unclassifiable artist. Her mastery of the piano and her fervor make her interpretations original and unique works that cross the worlds of jazz, classical, and soul music. The whirlwind of successes and descents into hell that characterized her life can only be explained by the major events she experienced. Firstly, a double blessing: an exceptional gift and rigorous classical piano training, then three painful trials: the Curtis Institute of Philadelphia's refusal to complete her training, the departure of Andy, her husband and manager, and the suffering of Black people in 1960s America. These elements forged one of the most gifted vocalists of her generation, who to this day continues to fascinate millions of admirers.
