  • Summary

  • Nina Simone was born on February 21st 1933.

    There has been news recently of a plan to buy Nina Simone's childhood home in Tryon North Carolina and make it into a museum celebrating the life and work of the girl who was born Eunice Waymon.

    I interviewed Nina in December 1998 just before her last ever show at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

    She was talking to me for a programme on the radio station Jazz fm, which would promote the concert.

    Nina had a reputation for being a tricky interviewee but on the day she was delightful and during the conversation she was eager to give her views on sexism, racism and feminism.

    After the interview I was asked to introduce Nina on stage at the Albert Hall. It was a memorable day.
