Hear 1964 Nina Simone Protest Classic 45 Mississippi *%??**&% (Goddamn)
Nina Simone – “Mississippi *%??**&%” (AKA “Mississippi Goddamn”) b/w “Sea Lion Woman” (Philips 40216). Great summer of 1964 release by the singer, songwriter, musician, arranger, and civil rights activist. Simone announced the anthem to be her "first civil rights song." The song captures Simone's response to the racially motivated murders of Emmett Till and Medgar Evers in Mississippi, and the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four black children. Simone composed "Mississippi Goddam" in less than an hour. Together with the songs "Ain't Got No, I Got Life", "Four Women" and "To Be Young, Gifted and Black", it is one of her most famous protest songs and self-written compositions. In 2019, "Mississippi Goddam" was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The second half of the title is bleeped on the 45 for radio play. Take a listen. Record is in VG condition (some label wear on one side – see scan.)
