Old School Friday: Inspiration

Hello OSFers! I apologize for not sending out the e-mail last night (yesterday)…even though we’ve been doing this for years, it slipped my mind completely!

This week’s theme is Songs That Inspire…when I need something to lift me up, I turn to Ms. Nina.

I'm so jealous of your choice, it's prime.

Oh my goodness...
Nina Simone? What you know 'bout...
Oh my goodness...
Beautiful.
Happy OSF!

Love how this song opens. And what a voice! I only have 2 Nina songs in my whole music collection. I'll have to rectify that soon! (BTW, I think I am off the OSF email list for some reason. I find the theme from the list you have posted.) Thanks for your selection. Happy OSF!

LOL!! Great minds! I love it, there is just something about Nina and her voice that is so empowering to me! It's like you can her tragedy and triumph in her voice.
Awesome pick!
We got a birthday coming!!

I was snapping my fingers throughout this one. I haven't heard much of Nina's material; I need to get something by her.

I had an email that said this week's theme is "don't know why they're famous" or something like that.

Anyway, I like Ms. Simone.
