Opening section

The opening section goes into some detail about her early life, but only the last three sentences cover her illustrious and groundbreaking career as a musician - and there is no mention (other than three words in the opening sentence) of her political activism. Surely these paragraphs need to be rewritten to give a better balance? Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:02, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NINA SIMONE HAD A HUSBAND

She was married and divorced twice, and both husbands (Don Ross and Andrew Stroud) are referenced in the Biography section (see the 1954-1959 and 1959-1964 sub-sections). A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 02:58, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
