1933 - Eunice Waymon (Nina Simone) is born in Tryon, North Carolina.
She will begin her entertaining career in 1954 and bolstered by
critical praise for her 1959 recording of "I Loves You, Porgy,"
she will tour in the U.S. and Europe during the 1960's and early
1970's. Returning to the concert stage and recording studio in
1977, she will be called the "High Priestess of Soul." She will
record rarely in the 1970's and 1980's, but will experience a
career comeback in the United States with her 1993 album release,
"A Single Woman."
1976 - Florence Ballard, one of the original Supremes, joins the
ancestors in Detroit, Michigan, at the age of 32. Ballard had
said that she never received a royalty check prior to 1967 for
any of her work with the Supremes, who featured Diana Ross and
included Mary Wilson.
