Simone's piano playing was deeply influenced by baroque and classical music, particularly Johann Sebastian Bach, while her singing was expressive and jazz-infused, showcasing her remarkable contralto range. Beyond her musical prowess, Simone was a fierce civil rights activist, using her platform to advocate for social justice and equality. Her songs like "Mississippi Goddam" and "Young, Gifted and Black" became anthems for the movement.
