Perhaps the greatest tragedy regarding Nina Simone's success was that she was never truly happy with it. After being rejected by the Curtis Institute of Music because of her race, Simone made it clear early on in her career as a jazz musician that she would not let racial inequality hinder her, often utilising her voice to full effect to speak out against the divide of America in the late 20th century.
As a singer, she stood out because of her exceptionally rich and soulful voice, frequently adding impromptu vocal runs and other improvisation in live performances. The greatest thing about Simone's voice, however, was that it was so perfectly imperfect - though a contralto, she often strived to reach far beyond her comfort zone, with her husky belting adding an entirely new dimension to songs like her interpretation of "Strange Fruit". To this day Simone is remembered for her passionate and heartfelt performances, still serving as a prime inspiration for singer-songwriters.
{A Few Examples of Her Voice}
Undoubtedly her best vocal performance. Heavy low notes in the third octave and weighty fourth octave belts in the song's climax.
It's long, yes, but it's so worthwhile. A great showcase of her vocal stamina - some remarkable B4s here.
One of her best "low" performances, really showcases how heavy she sounds. Singing in the third octave (down to B2, actually!) throughout, yet for her it sounds remarkably like mid-range.

Questionable notes are any notes of questionable significance. In short, this spoiler acknowledges notes that I am aware exist, but do not want to contribute to the singer's range. These involve (but are not limited to) notes of questionable identity, notes of questionable legitimacy and notes of significantly poor quality.
