Music Books - Bio. What Happened, Miss Simone?: A Biography of Nina Simone by Alan Light, 2015. This incredible book is an amazing story with a unique perspective of a musical genius, cultural activist, a free spirit and troubled soul. I read this book last August and it really stayed with me. I highly recommend it and also the Netflix documentary too .
My musical taste have evolved over the years and Nina Simone is an example of someone I knew about but had not explored her work and listened to her albums until much later in my life. I was aware of her in the 60's and knew her songs in the 70's but it took me a few more years to collect her albums. I have 8 albums including 4 multi-discs compilations.
I've also posted about this book on Bluesky.
