CRAP !!

Nina Simone was called the "High Priestess of Soul".

"Feeling Good" by Nina Simone is an all-time music classic that has been recorded by countless artists but most don't compare to her definitive performance. Nicknamed "The High Priestess of Soul", Nina was an incredible storyteller both lyrically and vocally. She used her music in the 1960s to bring attention to racial injustice and civil rights.
