Nina Simone
Eunice Kathleen Waymon (February 21, 1933 – April 21, 2003), better known by her stage name Nina Simone (), was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, and civil rights activist. Although she disliked being categorized, Simone is most associated with jazz music. Simone originally aspired to become a classical pianist, but her work covers an eclectic variety of musical styles that include classical, jazz, blues, soul, folk, R&B;, gospel, and pop. Her vocal style is characterized by intense passion, a loose vibrato, and a slightly androgynous timbre, in part due to her unusually low vocal range which veered between the alto and tenor ranges (occasionally even reaching baritone lows). Also known as The High Priestess of Soul, she paid great attention to the musical expression of emotions. Within one album or concert she could fluctuate between exuberant happiness and tragic melancholy. These fluctuations also characterized her own personality and personal life, amplified by bipolar disorder with which she was diagnosed in the mid-1960s, something not widely known until after her death in 2003, though she wrote of it openly in her autobiography published in 1992. According to Nadine Cohodas, Simone's biographer, Ms. Simone was first diagnosed with multiple personality disorder and later with schizophrenia.

Background
Alicia Keys's debut album Songs in A Minor (2001) sold over 6.2 million copies and earned five Grammy Awards. Due to the extreme popularity of her debut album, there was a lot of pressure on the album to match or exceed that success. The album proved to be as successful as her debut album, and was nominated for two of the "big four" Grammy Awards: Song of the Year for If I Ain't Got You, and Album of the Year. The album also sold over twice as many copies in its first week as Songs in A Minor.
Reception
Commercial performance
The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 618,000 copies, serving as Keys' second consecutive number-one debut in the United States. It spent 88 weeks on the chart, leaving at number 198 in 2005. It has sold over 4.6 million copies in the US. and more than eight million copies worldwide. The album's four singles, "You Don't Know My Name", "If I Ain't Got You", "Diary", and "Karma", reached the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100, with three of them becoming top ten hits.
Critical response
Upon its release, the album received generally positive reviews from most music critics, based on an aggregate score of 71/100 from Metacritic. The Times said that the album "confirmed her place in musical history". Giving the album four stars, People magazine said that "Keys honors R&B;'s golden age with an old soul far beyond her 23 years." Of The Diary of Alicia Keys, Josh Tyrangiel of Time said that Keys "made half a great record. The first six songs are models of how to make nostalgic music that is not anti-present... The second half of Diary sags." He added, however, that it was "obvious" that subsequent albums would "be worth hearing." Billboard magazine felt that "the songstress handily tops Songs in A Minor" and "channels spirits of '60s and '70s soul for Diary." Rolling Stone called the album "an assured, adult statement, steeped in the complicated love life and musical dreams of an ambitious young woman", and compared Keys to Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin. ABC News said that "If I Ain't Got You" is "a stunner of a ballad on which Keys' sound and vocal inflection recalled another one of Davis' famous proteges: Whitney Houston." Yahoo! Music UK, which gave the album nine stars out of ten, stated: "With both Lauryn Hill and Jill Scott still AWOL, and Beyoncé unable to cut it over an entire album, there's only one lady right now who can truly claim Aretha's crown."

Blender magazine named it the seventh best album of 2004. Billboard placed the album fifty-fifth in the decade-end ranking of the most successful albums of the 2000s.
