Biografia:
Nina Simone (Tryon, 21 de fevereiro de 1933 — Carry-le-Rouet, 21 de abril de 2003), nascida Eunice Kathleen Waymon, foi uma grande pianista, cantora e compositora americana. O nome artístico foi adotado aos 20 anos, para que pudesse cantar Blues, a "música do diabo", nos cabarés de Nova Iorque, Filadélfia e Atlantic City, escondida de seus pais, que eram pastores metodistas. "Nina" veio do Espanhol (Niña: menina), e "Simone" foi uma homenagem à grande atriz do cinema Francês Simone Signoret, sua preferida.
