When my son was born, the doctor said his hair was "black as night"; amazingly enough whenever he was fuzzy and wouldn't stop crying, I would sing this song to him and he'd come down and go to asleep.....I've always found Ms. Simone's music amazing and touching. Thank you for posting this song...I'm in tears.

Her picture is painted in my memory Without a color of despair And no matter where I go Black is the color of my True love's hair

Being a grand pianist was her dream. But the almost insurmountable racism and segregation of that time kept her out of Julliard(?). Her anger and bitterness informed her singing and her whole life, eventually. Towards the end of her life, that's all she talked about. Tina Turner remained bitter about not gaining the popularity of Madonna back in their day.

Hard life.. I guess that is relative. I think she grew up in a pretty stable home. Two parents..Parents weren't poor and destitute...they supported her playing. I think she was very in touch with what was going on in the world and expressed it through her playing the piano. She wanted to study and play classical...but I doubt there were many prestigious (white) schools that wanted to admit her. I think she was so proud of her heritage and hated that people couldn't see how racism is stupid as f*ck. Like ..RESPECT ME. I am playing some good stuff. I am black.I am a woman. I am proud. I am great.

Yeah, You're right. But it isn't just about the environment and the condition she grew up in. She had many mental health problems like a bipolar disorder and was later in a unhealthy relationship with her husband who forced her to become famous. And you can have a hard life even if things are going well. I think that Singers and all kinds of artists with mental illnesses are superior in expressing feelings. For example Van Gogh, Munch or singers like Amy Winehouse and Nina Simone.

Tchasa don't forget Janis Joplin she had quite a bad childhood a disappointment to her parents bullied so bad worse than you'd think at school and never being loved she put so much emotion into her songs both her and Nina do a great rendition of little girl blue

Everything is so deep, her voice, song lyrics, emotions that I feel when I listen piano, I think this is the best song ever written and this is the best cover of it.
