Title: Nina Simone – Strange Fruit
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1965, Jazz, Vocal Jazz, New York City
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Political Science: Simone treated civil-rights material as career risk, not branding—venues and promoters feared backlash, and she took the fight anyway.

  2. Media Narrative: She was marketed as “high culture” (Carnegie Hall–level respectability), then weaponized that platform to deliver protest narratives.

  3. Band Drama: Her perfectionism and volatility shaped every room—musicians describe sessions as high-pressure, with Simone’s mood controlling the take.
