Simone employed a broad range of musical styles including classical, jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop.Born in North Carolina, the sixth child of a preacher, Nina Simone aspired to be a concert pianist. With the help of a few supporters in her hometown of Tryon, North Carolina, she enrolled in the Juilliard School of Music in New York.Nina then applied for a scholarship to study at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where she was denied despite a well-received audition. Nina became fully convinced this rejection had been entirely due to racial discrimination.The sixth studio album by Nina Simone is Wild Is The Wind (1964). The album was compiled from several recordings that were left over from sessions (in 1964 and 1965) for previous Philips albums. <3http://joy.org.au/magicportals/wp-content/uploads/sites/350/2017/10/Episode-37.mp3Ep 3700:01:19 – Nina Simone – I Love Your Lovin’ Ways00:05:50 – Nina Simone – What More Can I Say00:09:34 – Nina Simone – Lilac Wine00:14:53 – Nina Simone – That’s All I Ask00:18:16 – Nina Simone – Break Down And Let It All Out00:21:28 – Nina Simone – Why Keep On Breaking My Hearts00:24:09 – Nina Simone – Wild Is The Wind00:31:41 – Nina Simone – Black Is The Colour Of My True Love’s Hair00:36:00 – Nina Simone – If I Should Lose You00:43:15 – Nina Simone – Either Way I Lose00:45:54 – Nina Simone – Mood Indigo00:48:19 – Nina Simone – Don’t Smoke In Bed00:51:22 – Nina Simone – Good Bait00:65:47 – Nina Simone – You’ll Never Walk Alone Transitional Audio ClipsNina Simone interview for BBCs Hard Talk – YouTubeHistory Of The Civil Rights Movement – YouTubeMartin Luther King Jr. I Have A Dream – YouTubeThe post Wild Is The Wind appeared first on Magic Portals.
