'Sometimes her voice changes from dark and raw to soft and sweet. She pauses, shouts, repeats, whispers and moans. Sometimes piano, voice and gestures seem to be separate elements, then, at once, they meet. Add to this all the way she puts her spell on an audience, and you have some of the elements that make Nina Simone into a unique artist.' - Online Biography.
Nina Simone passed away this weekend. She was one of the most amazing jazz/blues/soul singers I have ever heard. My words will never do her voice justice. So instead, go here. Listen to her voice. Let it sweep you away.

I just read about her Here too. I must really be out of the loop because I never knew her.

I wouldn't say you are out of the loop. ;P
