Die Legende von Nina Simone (Radio Show)

Sie galt als schwierige Künstlerin. Wahrscheinlich, weil die klassisch-ausgebildete Pianistin in Songs und Interviews schon früh offen gegen Rassismus demonstriert hat.Musikalisch war Nina der weibliche James Brown - zumindest was das Zitieren von Songs angeht. In der Sendung gibt es Originale, Remixes, Zitate, Samples aus über 40 Jahren - von Jazz, (Northern) Soul, Funk, Hip Hop bis House - und den Grund dafür, dass wir nicht "My Baby just cares for me" spielen. (Leider ist die Tonqualität recht gering).
