Her music defied easy categorization, blending classical, jazz, blues, folk, gospel, R&B, and pop into a unique and captivating sound. 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. Simone's legacy endures as a testament to her artistic genius and her unwavering commitment to social change.
