Nina Simone - She Was Fire and Fury #ninasimone #musiclegend

Details

Description

Singer Miriam Makeba, one of Nina Simone’s closest friends, once shared:

“People feared Nina. She could walk into a room and make everyone freeze with one look. But I knew her heart.”
She described how Nina’s rage wasn’t cruelty—it was protection.
Nina had been betrayed too many times, by people, by her country, by the industry.
“She had so much love,” Miriam said, “and nowhere to put it. So it turned into fire.”
When Nina laughed, she lit up the whole room. When she played, it was like prayer.
But when she was hurt, the world felt it.
She wasn’t just an artist—she was a wound that sang.
