well after I saw this I went and looked around. filled in the blanks.

dont know her. not a jazz aficianado. I see that she did the "oh lord, please dont let me be misunderstood" thing. Im always interested in what original recordings sound like vs the multitude of covers (seems like its far too often whites coverin blacks and whitey gets the props, dont it?)

What a loss...what a loss...she was such a 100% authentic real artist...one with a great, intruiging, warm and such a musiacal voice and a hard backbone: not bending over to record companies or producer sharks...

Ghostly, sometimes eerie voice. Did some really cool stuff. Sad to see her go...

No doubt there will be a re-release of 99 Red Balloons now.

Nina was one of my all-time musical heroines, what a voice.. By a strange coinicidence I watched a recording of a concert given by her at ronnie scott's on the Performance channel the night before she died...

She wrote 'Young, Gifted and Black' nd 'My Baby just cares for me' amongst others and was a huge Bach and U2 fan!

She left the US and went live in Barbados becasue she couldn;t handle the reacism in the states, travelling around europe and the world to perform.

The most amazing combination of piano player, songwriter and singer I've ever listened to..

Treat yourself.. Go look for 'Love me or Leave' on a P2P network near you, the 3:22 (3161kb) version.. listen to the vocal phrasing and the amazing piano solo in the middle!

I'll miss her..

Peace Nina, we love you..

I think she'll be remembered as one of the greatest musicians of all time. Absolute mastery of the paino and a voice with such depth and soul AND a truly great songwriter. To see her perform was amazing, she played piano and sang better than almost anybody and she did both at the same time.
