Music Video Friday No. 6
Today we have a trio of performances by one of my favorite artists, Nina Simone. I was first introduced into her work on the soundtrack for the film Point of No Return (a remake of one of my favorites, the 1990 French film La Femme Nikita). Her rendition of the American spiritual song Sinnerman was also featured in the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair. Two of today’s videos are from the Montreux Jazz Festival which is held each year in Montreux, Switzerland. The third one is of her performance in 1968 at the Bitter End Cafe in Greenwich Village.
