Nina Simone and Hazel Scott met in France during #ninasimone's first European tour in 1965. They immediately formed a pianist/singer mutual admiration and friendship.
During a visit to Nina's home in Mount Vernon, NY, Hazel and Nina were sipping wine, playing piano, singing, and chatting — a wonderful moment captured on this rare home recording! #nobodyknowsyouwhenyouredownandout #blackmusicmonthRay Charles (9/23/1930 - 6/10/2004) #raycharlesNina Simone2025-06-10 | Ray Charles (9/23/1930 - 6/10/2004) #raycharles“I was at home…” - #ninasimone #hardtalk #timsebastian #liberiaNina Simone2025-05-29 | “I was at home…” - #ninasimone #hardtalk #timsebastian #liberiaHappy Birthday, Lauryn Hill! #laurynhill #ninasimone #readyornot #fugeesNina Simone2025-05-26 | Happy Birthday, Lauryn Hill! #laurynhill #ninasimone #readyornot #fugees#ninasimone #feelinggood #huffandherb — 🎨 by Nkululeko Zulu #vectorartNina Simone2025-05-23 | #ninasimone #feelinggood #huffandherb — 🎨 by Nkululeko Zulu #vectorartLangston Hughes (2/1/1901 - 5/22/1967) #langstonhughesNina Simone2025-05-22 | Langston Hughes (2/1/1901 - 5/22/1967) #langstonhughes

(The first seven tracks in this video were published in 1994 under "The Rising Sun Collection." The last three tracks were omitted from that release but were a part of Nina's concert. It's unclear precisely when the last three tracks were played during her set so they have been added to the end of this video.)
