Eunice Kathleen Waymon (February 21, 1933 – April 21, 2003), better known by her stage name Nina Simone /ˈniːnə sɨˈmoʊn/, was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, and civil rights activist widely associated with jazz music. Simone aspired to become a classical pianist while working in a broad range of styles including classical, jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop.
Born the sixth child of a preacher's family in North Carolina, Simone aspired to be a concert pianist as a child. Her musical path changed direction after she was denied a scholarship to the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, despite a well-received audition. Simone was later told by someone working at Curtis that she was rejected because she was black. She then began playing in a small club in Philadelphia to fund her continuing musical education to become a classical pianist and was required to sing as well. She was approached for a recording by Bethlehem Records, and her rendition of "I Loves You Porgy" became a smash hit in the United States in 1958. Over the length of her career, Simone recorded more than 40 albums, mostly between 1958 — when she made her debut with Little Girl Blue — and 1974.

Dr Ali Muhammad Blackness & The Consciousness Of God
I am leaving my dying body and the sleep is oh so beatiful
The journey fills me with blackness
Black roses marks my steps
My body is stained with blood
Sea of sadness, drown me
In remorse I sleep
On the shore of shadows
The loneliness grips me
I turn around and see all that I love
I hear they calling me
My soul longs for you
The song is filling me with pain
No, no I can't escape now
I turn around and see all that I love
I hear they calling me
My soul longs for you
The song is filling me with pain
So I leave this world
With the memories of all I love
And I turn and walk
