She only had 1 chart hit in the U.S. (I Loves You Porgy) & 7 chart hits in the UK, but her influence & critical respect far outstripped her popularity while alive (she died in ‘03). She was The High Priestess Of Soul -regarded as 1 of the most influential recording artists of jazz, cabaret & R&B.

Nina wrote this song for a Lorraine Hansberry play in 1970. Aretha Franklin covered it in 1972. 💙🙏 https://youtu.be/_hdVFiANB...
