Thomas Crown Affair - Final Heist - Sinnerman - Nina Simone

Great ending to a fantastic movie. The song "Sinnerman" is by Nina Simone from her 1965 album Pastel Blues. Nina Simone was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in Tryon, North Carolina, one of eight children. She began playing piano at her local church and showed prodigious talent on this instrument. Her concert debut, a classical piano recital, was made at the age of ten. During her performance, her parents, who had taken seats in the front row, were forced to move to the back of the hall to make way for white people. Simone refused to play until her parents were moved back. This incident contributed to her later involvement in the civil rights movement. She took on the stage name "Nina Simone" in 1954 because she did not want her mother to know that she was playing "the devil's music". This ones for you Dew... Copyright 1999 United Artists
