Nina Simone: Troubadour, Los Angeles CA
Pete Johnson, Los Angeles Times, 14 March 1968
ONE OF Nina Simone's songs contains the line "He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen." Though she is accompanied by a quartet and though her current stint at the Troubadour is drawing crowds, the last two words of that line are an apt description of the singer. Lonesome queen.
