Today marks 20 years since Nina Simone shuffled off this mortal coil.

Today would’ve been Nina’s 87th birthday. The High Priestess of Soul was not only an artist but she paved a great path as an activist of the Civil Rights Movement.
We can never forget the contributions she made for the black community and the world of music.
Happy Birthday Nina!
Happy birthday, Miss Simone!
