Saucy, courageous, timeless. Classically-trained Nina Simone (1933-2003) is an icon of 20th

century American music who left an indelible mark on everything from blues and jazz to cabaret

and folk. For this final edition of Music For End Times’ Black History Month celebration, we

spend the hour with Ms. Simone: pianist, vocalist, lyricist, and fierce civil rights champion.

Featured recordings include “My Baby Just Cares For Me,” “Work Song,” “Memphis in June,”

“Little Girl Blue,” and more.

Kevin Howley is your host for Music For End Times. Listen anytime to the podcast or live on

Tuesday afternoon from 4-5PM on WGRE – “Your Sound Alternative.”
