Gonna Miss Her Song, Yeah, Gonna Miss Her Smile.

R.I.P. Nina Simone.

Damn. We won't see her match again.

Please listen to "I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl", if you haven't heard it before. It might not end up being your favorite of her songs like it is mine,* but if it doesn't make you melt, then I just don't know about you.

Here's hoping she is where chilly winds don't blow.

This is a more interesting article than that Yahoo obit, by the way. (Via Metafilter.)

*Well, a close tie between that and "Feeling Good." And her arrangement of "Mood Indigo." And "Mississippi Goddamn." And "Ne Me Quitte Pas." And her spine-tingling version of "Don't Explain." Not to mention her "I Put a Spell On You." Or her virtually unbearable "Strange Fruit." Oh, never mind 'favorite.'
