    The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

    My late friend lived in the same building as Nina.He worked in entertainment and did her some kind of business favor. She called him and invited him to her apartment where she played a short private concert for him as thanks. He told me of sitting on her couch, seeing the NYC skyline and hearing her play for him as so magical.

    I have been listening to her for a longtime before youtube came along, but now I' m glad that thanks to the Internet I am able to discover so much more, it's another dimension. How fantastic to see her hands on the piano keys, see her dance, see how she interacts with the public, how she uses silence to "put them under her spell.".. Thank you ! And I am aware that thanks to people sharing her videos in youtube they "keep her alive" . Her exceptional Art is being discovered anew by the young generation. That's very precious. Thanks again

    It's so heartbreaking to know that this incredibly talented lady was supposed to be a concert pianist but they never let her because of the color of her skin. What a shameful world we live in. Incredible that she took that and said you know what, I am going to make it anyway and did her own thing and we are blessed with her recordings. I would however have loved to see and listen to her tackle concertos!

      What's most heart breaking is a certain well known master con artist (if not yet recognized by his power mad followers which comprise a third of my compatriots) was able to unleash the worst in the country, something that I thought was buried forever when Barak Obama was not only elected but re-elected. Trump showed how far we have to go to achieve an open and free society, and with freedom comes responsibility and and hopefully an awareness that, as our Native Cousins counciled us, to be mindful of your actions today and how they will affect our offspring seven...or even seven thousand...generations hence (I'm thinking planet climate, plastic pollution, insecticides and herbicides, and even nuclear war?) So lucky that Nina Simone endured and thrived to bless us with her awesome talent. Yayyee!

      That’s the standard story about her audition at Curtis Institute but it’s unlikely that it really went down that way. There were already black students that had been accepted at Curtis well before the time of her audition. Curtis is free, so the competition is fierce. Apparently approximately 70 people auditioned that year and only a few were accepted. A couple of Philly based journalists researched this Simone story and they talked to a Curtis piano teacher that worked with Simone after the failed audition. He and his wife had taught there for decades and he didn’t believe it was racially motivated. Most of the other Curtis staff that were involved in the audition and school administration had passed on when they did the research for the story. It’s not impossible that it was racially motivated but it’s not a slam dunk either and the research doesn’t support the story.

      I disagree. She was very successful and sold millions of records. But She got deeply into militant black nationalism and openly advocated violence against whites and that combined with her mental illness is what ended her career.

    Warning: Long.
    I absolutely love this song.
    The Play “Porgy and Bess “was par none. George and Ira Gershwin was simply the greatest musical writers and lyricist- genius’s of their time.
    Nina Simone’s is unmatched and my favorite rendition.
    She put her entire head body and both feet into this song.
    I use to scream this at lung top. I was only a little girl at that time. But that love resonated throughout my entire being.
    To think one could love another so intensely, that it’s loss pulls at the Chordae Tendonae of your heart.
    I Understood that love then and still do now. I played for keeps.
    It tickled my parents to watch me sit on the floor looking at the big wooden box with the turntable and speakers inside the screen.
    I would press my forehead to the speaker screen cover and strain my eyes peering inside with all my might.
    I’d ask my mother, when is the di get going to come out of this box. And, I just can’t see her on the stage but I know she is in there. My mother 😳😮 thinking omg we are going to be driven to the brink of madness. And that I did. Album After album would vanish.
    I thought the singers were little people inside that stereo. Even though I clearly seen the album placed on the turntable and the music start up.
    To me, that was the orchestra. Crazy right.
    What does it have to do with the artist on this page. I can’t deal with any of that still. So I digressed
    RIP to all the greats.
    🙏🏽❤️

Loved her and been playing her music on a regular basis since then. My favorite ones so far? Of course this melancholic I loves you Porgy, Don't let me be misunderstood and I put a spell on you. Rest in peace Miss Simone. Thank you for accompanying me with your music and velvety voice through some of darkest moments in my recent life.

    I love you, Porgy
    Don't let him take me
    Don't let him handle me and drive me mad
    If you can keep me, I wanna stay here
    With you forever and I'll be glad
    Yes, I love you, Porgy
    Don't let him take me
    Don't let him handle me with his hot hands
    If you can keep me, I want to stay here
    With you forever, I've got my man
    I love you, Porgy
    Don't let him take me
    Don't let him handle me and drive me mad
    If you can keep me, I wanna stay here
    With you forever, I've got my man
    Someday I know he's coming to call me
    He's going to handle me and hold me
    So, it's going to be like dying, Porgy
    When he calls me
    But when he comes I know, I'll have to go
    I love you, Porgy
    Don't let him take me
    Honey, don't let him handle me and drive me mad
    If you can keep me, I wanna stay here
    With you forever, I've got my man

    This is not Nina’s best version of the song she did so well. As good as she was on the piano I prefer the version where she was backed by a full band and concentrated on the singing. Different lyrics too. The slave talk was apparently cleaned up a bit for the TV audience. For example “If you can keep me I wants to stay here.” was altered.
