I just heard Nina Simone past away. Was anyone else a fan? She had one of the best jazz vocals, "Four Women" still is a favorite. <P>But besides a great singer she was a huge civil rights advocate. She was a great performer and will be missed.
I'm a jazz newbie myself, just scratching the surface of a fascinating genre. As such, I've heard her name, but I doubt if I could identify her voice from a recording.<P>It's always a shame when we lose a talented person.
