Today I’d planned to share some news with you.
But across America, hearts are breaking.
My heart is breaking.
More than 50% of you, my blog readers, live in the United States.
So today — please listen to Nina Simone, singing “Little Girl Blue” from her debut album, Little Girl Blue. Nina recorded the album in her 20s in 1959, when she was still trying to become a classical pianist. She was paid $3,000 for the contract, a terrible royalty deal that cost her more than a million dollars in profits. Her album was largely unpromoted.
Nina Simone had the most breathtaking contralto voice.
Please listen to Little Girl Blue here.
I am thinking of you all and sending love,
Catherine
