The track was recorded live at the Westbury Music Festival on April 7, 1968, three days after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (the next day, Simone would go to Atlanta to attend his funeral). ’Nuff Said! serves as a document of that somber, unplanned tribute concert, with three other tracks—a pair of Bee Gees covers and a medley from Hair—added later, possibly in an attempt to replicate the international success of Simone’s rendition of “To Love Somebody.” Those foils, though, don’t keep the album from documenting the grief, the rage, and the anguish of that horrific moment in the late 1960s. If overflowing emotion was already one of Simone’s trademarks, ’Nuff Said! somehow takes her gift for the evocative to new heights, particularly on the sprawling centerpiece “Why? (The King Of Love Is Dead).” The song was composed by Simone’s bassist Gene Taylor in the wake of King’s death, and was originally released at about half its current length. The ’Nuff Said! version, though, spans heartbreaking elegy, a bluesy call to action, expansive lament, and extended monologue. It’s a full-scale drama all on its own. The homage continues with Simone’s iconic protest song “Mississippi Goddam,” her political rebuke “Backlash Blues”—based on a Langston Hughes poem—and the concert’s conclusion, the canonical gospel hymn “Take My Hand, Precious Lord.” “If you have been moved at all, and you know my songs at all, for God’s sake, join me,” Simone tells the crowd, imploring them to act. ’Nuff Said! is as vital a document of the aftermath of a national tragedy as exists—a musical interpretation of simmering discontent that Simone shared with typical fearlessness.
对我来说今年听尤其relevant,inauguration day那天我听着《Sunday In Savannah》离开了佐治亚,后来我听着《Ain't Got No - I Got Life》在得克萨斯的乡间高速路上崩溃大哭。如果没有Nina Simone让这些难以名状的情绪有了安放的地方,真不好说我现在的精神状况会是怎样ಥ_ಥ
We want to do a tune Written for today, for this hour For Dr. Martin Luther King We've stated before that the whole program is dedicated to his memory But this tune is written about him, and for him and so We had yesterday to learn it and so we'll see Once ...

这张录制于MLK遇刺后第三天,选曲跨度很大,但在nina simone的表演下也都变得relevant了。这种感觉录音室专辑确实不易捕捉,所以她才这么喜欢录现场吧。

what they call 'the high priestess of soul' love this one most, recommend "Why? (The King of Love Is Dead)".

Jazz is a white term to define Black people. My music is Black classical music——Nina Simone
