By the time Jack Robinson photographed Nina Simone in 1969 she had become a singular force in American music. Born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in North Carolina her early ambition to become a classical pianist was met with racial and economic obstacles. Undeterred she began performing in nightclubs to fund her education and soon recorded her first hit a haunting version of Gershwin’s "I Love You Porgy." Simone blended gospel pop jazz and classical music with unmatched emotional depth. Her powerful voice and regal presence earned her the title High Priestess of Soul.
