Southern trees bear strange fruit, :word:
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,

No other version compares to Nina's powerful voice carrying one of the most haunting poems of all time. S*** hits everytime

I know Nina is considered a legend but i feel like she needs way more props given to her

THESE B****ES SURROUND-IN MEEEEEEEEEE

foreal we everyone knows Nina but I don't think most music nerds know her discog all that well compared to her contemporaries

even me tbh only knew I Put A Spell On You before this. Definitely have to dedicate time to absorbing all the s*** she put out

Honestly crazy levels of talent, she transposed and improvised entire songs live.

I agree but also

I just need to clear my mind now
It's been racing since the summer time

Yall have had 80 years to respect this s***. Enough is enough
