DR. NINA SIMONE
(Eunice Kathleen Waymon)
SINGER - PIANIST - ARRANGER - COMPOSER
QUEEN OF AFRICAN ROOTED CLASSICAL MUSIC

HONORARY DOCTOR IN MUSIC AND HUMANITIES
2/21/33-4/21/03
    This is a tribute to Dr. Nina Simone - one of our most gifted, provocative and, unfortunately, under appreciated musicians.

     Nina Simone deserves to be kept high in public esteem for her powerful music and passionate work for civil rights.

     She may have left this world somewhat bitter - and rightfully so - but perhaps we can fight to keep her memory as timeless as her music.

Nina Simone

    Nina was dubbed the 'High Priestess of Soul' but she did not prefer this title as she did not want to be labeled as a strictly or mainly "soul" artist. She felt these types of categorizations were often rooted in racism.

     With respect for Nina's versatility as an artist, it seems more appropriate to use the title             
High Priestess of Song as it doesn't attribute any particular genre to her music while it recognizes her as the religious figure she is to many of her fans.
