I always love listening to this song, and especially on a Saturday morning. Nina Simone was such a great liver of life, and composer. I wish I could write songs this pure. If you've never seen this video, enjoy:

I was just listening to love me or leave me she's amazing
I was just talking about this with someone else. While this particular video is not Nina exclusively playing and singing, what really makes this special for me is watching her be herself while dancing and riffing. To say that she had a hard life is like the understatement of the year - she got swindled and screwed, and mentally and physically beat up every way possible.
And she endured.
So for her...to have accomplished what she accomplished throughout her lifetime....man...I can't imagine being that tough. Ever. Much love always to one of the greatest of the greats, and Rest in Much Light and Peace, Nina Simone. What an amazing person.
