Legendary artist and activist
Nina Simone was born on this date 80 years ago. Though she left this existential plane in 2003, her passionate, emotionally honest music and refusal to be boxed in by genres or other categories continue to resonate today. In honor of her life and legacy in music as well as civil rights advocacy, Legacy Recordings named Simone as the label's Artist of the Month, who are helping us offer a prize pack of CDs to one lucky winner.
