| Nina Simone Composed over 500 songs, recorded almost 60 albums!!! First woman to win the Jazz Cultural Award "Woman of the Year" 1966, Jazz at Home Club Female Jazz Singer of the Year, 1967, National Association of Television and Radio Announcers!!! Nina Simone is often classified as a jazz singer, but this is what she had to say in 1997 (in an interview with Brantley Bardin): To most white people, jazz means black and jazz means dirt and that's not what I play. I play black classical music. That's why I don't like the term "jazz," and Duke Ellington didn't like it either -- it's a term that's simply used to identify black people."

Songwriter and performer
Sam Cooke was one of the
most popular and influential
black singers to emerge in the
late '50s, successfully to
synthesize a blend of gospel
music and secular themes and
provided the early foundation of soul music. Cooke's
pure, clear vocals were widely imitated, and his
suave, sophisticated image set the style of soul
crooners for the next decade. Sam Cooke was
born in Clarksdale, Mississippi on January 22,
1931, but grew up in Chicago, where his father
Charles became a minister in the Church of
Christ Holiness Church. By age nine Sam, with
his two sisters, formed a gospel trio the Singing
Children. As a teenager, he was a member of the
nationally famous Highway Q.C.'s (so named
because their home base was the Highway
Baptist Church) with his younger brother, L.C.

Chicago. It was also where J.W. Alexander, tenor and manager of the Pilgrim Travelers, first saw the young Cooke.
The Pilgrim Travelers were the second gospel group recorded by Specialty and Alexander soon became the label's
chief gospel scout. In 1949 he brought the Soul Stirrers to Specialty. TO View More: Click here

| "A Daily Inspiration Exercise" Holy spirit you who make me see everything and show me the way to ready my ideal. You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that has been done to me and you who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Thank you for your love toward me and my loved ones. Amen. |
Sarah Baartman, at rest at last

as a freak because of her
unusual physical features,
has finally been laid to rest,

Cape Town
Sarah Baartman, displayed
as a freak because of her
unusual physical features,
has finally been laid to rest,
187 years after she left
Cape Town
for London. Her remains were buried on Women’s Day, 9 August
2002, in the
area of her birth, the Gamtoos River Valley in the Eastern Cape.
Baartman was
born in 1789. She was working as a slave in Cape Town when she was
“discovered” by British ship’s doctor William Dunlop, who persuaded
her to
travel with him to England. We’ll never know what she had in mind
when she
stepped on board – of her own free will - a ship for London. But it’s
clear what Dunlop had in mind – to display her as a “freak”, a “scientific
curiosity”, and make money from these shows, some of which he
promised to give to her. Baartman had unusually large buttocks and
genitals, and in the early 1800s
