"MOOD INDIGO" NINA SIMONE (1966)

The summer before I headed off to college, I had a short fling with a girl who had amazing taste in music. She knew about Deelite before the rest of the world. And only listened to the deep cuts from bands like Siouxsie & the Banshees and Depeche Mode. But she also raved about Nina Simone and introduced me to this amazing talent. My girlfriend and I went off to separate colleges in the fall. We drifted apart, lived our own worlds, but Nina never left mine.
