Nina Simone, stage name of Eunice Kathleen Waymon (Tryon, February 21, 1933 – Carry-le-Rouet, April 21, 2003).

He was a singer, pianist, writer, and activist for civil rights. It was especially jazz interpreter, although his style varied between different genres, from soul, blues, folk and gospel.

But she also expresses a musical style classic. She is an example of how the heart, technique, talent know no picket fences.

For example, in his song “Sinnerman”, we have Johann Sebastian Bach. The Toccata and fugue.

She follows the stairs with his full-bodied timbre and blood and in the regularity of counterpoint, his voice breaks out in the first minute slowly with a growing tension and withheld. Of this man who brings sleep and blunting of reason, a man she loved, but who is stingy with answers. And then she increases the timbre from the second minute and calls him, keeping order so stepped down, without excess. And then in the second minute he opened his voice. And he repeatsand with recall in rhythmic blouse, as if he corrected himself or his name from the stadium in a wave with the arm that wants attention. And then near the end of of the third minute, she takes up the rhythm and the orchestra goes alone. The rhythm is now expressed with the counterpoint. And she repeated again involving the listener and then she closes the fugue playing the piano.

UNIQUE. WONDERFUL. The rhythm and takes her as if it were in fugue for excellence, along with the orchestra starts and does not sing anymore: she emanates tones only with your breath! And in the seventh minute her voice, and no longer the plan, is leading the orchestra: IMMENSE.
