	Nina Simone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simone was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon at 30 East Livingston Street in Tryon, North Carolina, one of eight children.
		Simone's mother, who lived into her late 90s, was a strict Methodist minister; her father was a handyman and sometime barber who suffered periods of ill-health.
